Biden: Democrats need better outreach to frightened voters

Former Vice President Joe Biden criticized President Donald Trump without saying his name Saturday, telling a crowd of Florida Democrats last year’s election unleashed a coarseness that hadn’t been seen in decades but he said the party’s candidates can overcome that by showing disgruntled voters that they have solutions. […]

“This past election cycle churned up some of the ugliest, ugliest realities that persist in our country. Civilized discourse and real debate gave way to the coarsest rhetoric, stoking some of the darkest emotions in this nation,” said Biden, 74. “I thought that after all these years we had passed the days when it was acceptable for politicians to bestow legitimacy on hate speech and fringe ideologies.”

Biden said Democrats could overcome that by showing everyone from working-class white men to women to minorities that they are the party of ideas and solutions. He called investing in schools, community colleges and infrastructure and providing health care, saying that’s how to improve the economy, not by building walls and excluding Muslim immigrants. …

I think he means “to frighten voters”.

Joe Biden is delusional. Unfortunately there are millions who share his delusions. We are not frightened. We are angry. But we don’t show our anger by depicting our opponents severed heads, our media people do not refer to opponents as a piece of shit. We have not sponsored plays depicting the assassination of a leader. Our extremists have not tried to assassinate members of congress. Who was it who said, “If They Bring a Knife to the Fight, We Bring a Gun”?

“Biden: Democrats need better outreach to frightened voters”

Typical. Let’s don’t make a conscientious effort to work together to solve the problems this nation has. Let’s just use the media and scare the populous into fearing one of the groups and frightening the folks into turning to the liars that actually set up the scare tactics to take their country away from them in the beginning. And the people buy into it.

Joe, you might want to have a talk with Sen. Warren. You all want to be singing from the same hymnal.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has a warning for President Trump: “Donald, you ain’t seen nasty yet.”

Just more bulls*** from a ‘Rat politician. Every time Biden opens his big mouth it’s like firing a shotgun into the air so to speak.

A lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.

Good one! Plus you know who is most responsible for getting Trump elected? Bill Clinton.

Remember when the decade old 'grab some p---y' video came out in October? In another era, that would have sunk a campaign. This time, the reaction was "Meh?"

During Bill's sexcapades, they dug up old records of Sally Hemmings from two CENTURIES ago and pronounced Thomas Jefferson guilty of fathering her multiple children. Never mind that Jefferson was a widower at the time and IF he did it, he was far more discreet about it than Bill. The resulting meme was that if it didn't matter in 1797, then it shouldn't matter in 1997?

Fast forward to the Trump video and the obvious result was that if crude ACTIONS in 1997 didn't matter, then why should crude TALK matter in 2007.

I am frightened of the maexist-democrats.

I'm not. Not one ounce of fear. In fact, as the days tick off, I'm beginning to look forward to the coming war. We never really wanted this but the left insist so we best get ready to give it to them good, long and hard. I won't fire the first shot ( I don't need the notoriety ) but I do intend to expend a few mags before I go down. Much to their chagrin, once this starts, the left will be powerless to stop it. The one worlder elites have no idea the can of worms they are about to open. We have suffered these fools long enough.

Would threats of “the genital cuff” work as effectively on Shotgun Joe as they did on Ruprecht?

“I thought that after all these years we had passed the days when it was acceptable for politicians to bestow legitimacy on hate speech and fringe ideologies.”

The Dems have been doing that ever since I can remember. At what point did they decide that behavior was unacceptable? I must have missed it.

“showing everyone from working-class white men to women to minorities that they are the party of ideas and solutions”

Affirmative action has shown white men what “ideas and solutions” liberals support.

While there are certainly some low-IQ voters out there, and they are numerous enough to swing elections, most people who vote Democrat are paid to do so - either through welfare/freebies, workfare (government jobs), or outright corruption (expecting favors for contributions to “foundations” set up as money-laundering schemes).

Yes, lowering the standards certainly helped Trump in terms of that recording. I don’t let Hillary or Obama off the hook, though; things had gotten so bad that people would’ve voted for ANYONE who at least acknowledged that this country (and most of its people) has serious financial problems.

I believe much of this theater about Russia, obstruction, etc. is for posterity; libs 100 years from now will have to explain why the Greatest President Ever Born (Obama) was followed by the devil himself - and they will also have to explain how that devil beat the Smartest Woman Ever Born. I expect within a decade or two it will be widely accepted that Trump stole this election, despite no evidence at all to support that.

Might be a good idea if you and your friends started to act like decent and mature adults instead of spoiled children.

Lol. What a boob. Apparently, calling voter deplorable racists has nothing to do with it.
