JOE BIDEN AND HIS SIDE KICK KAMALA SHOULD BE A REMINDER TO AMERICA OF THE DANGERS OF LETTING LAWYERS RUN FOR THE PRSIDENCY. THEY ARE CONTEMPTUOUS OF THE LAWS AS THEY ARE OUR BORDERS AND ARE TRAINED IN LAW SCHOOL TO GAME IT ALL. THAT IS WHAT BOTH OF THESE CREATURES HAVE DONE AND GOT FILTHY RICH DOING IT!
Minorities Turning on Biden Faster Than White Voters
11 comments
The 'wokening' of the Dems led to a party whose base consists of suburban white lefties and older black women with Hispanics, once the great minority hope, as a swing vote, leaning left, but able to unexpectedly change depending on current economic conditions.
That's the context in which to view this widely hyped Zogby poll in which 1 in 5 Dems expressed regret at voting for Biden.
The numbers are in some ways even worse than they sound because they indicate that working-class minorities are starting to turn on Biden along with what little is left of his working-class white base.
That and the fall-off kicks in with younger voters who are more likely to have jobs.
For example, younger voters aged 18-29 (27% yes/67% no/6% not sure) and middle aged voters aged 30-49 (30% yes/67% no/4% not sure) were much more likely to regret voting for Biden than older voters aged 50-64 (10% yes/87% no/3% not sure) and 65+ (6% yes/91% no/3% not sure).
Is this a response to Biden's failure to get the full lefty program through? Maybe, but doubtful because even the usual radicals screaming about neo-liberalism have pulled their punches when it comes to Biden. The administration has tried for a balance of establishment and radical types to create a fairly smooth coalition. (It's not the worst idea.) And most of the fire has been directed at moderate Dems in the House.
It might be worth considering that this is a response to the failure to reopen the economy.
Older voters, who may be retired and are more concerned about their health, are more okay with the tradeoff between safety and employment. The younger voters, who are more likely to be employed, aren't. We've seen similar patterns in California and elsewhere.
Now here's where things get really interesting.
Hispanics (33% yes/63% no/4% not sure) and African Americans (25% yes/70% no/5% not sure) were more likely than white voters (16% yes/80% no/4% not sure) to regret voting for Biden.
Black people were Biden's base. They carried him through the primaries.
Biden's strategy with black voters mirrored Trump's strategy with conservatives. A huge bear hug. Black political influencers, especially on the Left, got everything they wanted. No matter how racist an appointee was, even someone like Kirsten Clarke, the Biden admin didn't blink.
A 25% drop from this demographic is shocking, especially compared to white voters.
Now that may be because Dems have lost most of the white voters, especially working-class voters, that they can afford to lose.
That also helps explain the rural-urban split in the poll.
Urban voters (28% yes/67% no/4% not sure) were twice as likely to regret voting for Biden than suburban (14% yes/83% no/4%not sure) and rural voters (12% yes/86% no/3%not sure).
There's only so many more rural voters that Democrats can even lose.
The urban-suburban split however highlights what's going on here. Urban minority voters are turning on Biden. Why? Bread and butter issues. The economy, despite all the New York Times gaslighting, is terrible and with more pandemic instability, urban minorities are the likeliest to take an immediate hit.
This poll was taken before Afghanistan. The issue on most people's minds was the economy. And it will be again.
Biden's Casual Racism and Dementia
You almost have to feel bad for the people who work for him. Almost.
At some point you almost have to feel bad for the people who work for Joe Biden. Every single day, they go to work not know what they’re going to have to clean up today; what mess he’s going to create, or what stupid thing is going to come out of his mouth. Or whether or not what comes out of his mouth is even words at all. Then you realize those people are enabling this senile old fool in his quest to destroy the country and whatever thought you’d had to feel badly is replaced with contempt.
I’ve known lot of people who could, at any given moment, say something for which a lot of clean up would be necessary. Some were friends, others colleagues, and still some bosses.
The friends “having a Biden moment” would just cause a rolling of the eyes, creating wonder over how someone seemingly intelligent could have a moment of abject stupidity, in public no less. All you can do in that situation is laugh and hope to be free of the splatter range should the stupidity lead to any drink being thrown.
If they were colleague, the eye roll remains and is coupled with a sense of amazement that someone, unusually highly educated and accomplished, could be so obtuse on occasion.
When they were my boss, my heart started racing a bit every time they’d approach a microphone or reporter…or constituent. While I wasn’t responsible for cleaning up after my friends or co-workers, it is your job (sometimes) to clean up after your boss.
My bosses for whom I was responsible for some level of clean up were, thankfully, pretty good, with only a few times between them when I had to try to repair anything they’d done. Working for Joe Biden has to be a bit like working for Mr. Magoo – drunk, during an earthquake – the sheer volume of destruction in his wake has no limitations.
Joe Biden is the worst kind of disastrous boss – the type who doesn’t realize how bad they really are.
When most people, people with their mental abilities under their control, say something wrong, like calling someone the wrong name, we correct it almost immediately. “Hey, Bob, er, Tom, come here for a second,” for example. The President gets names, dates, events, or details of his own life wrong all the time and seems blissfully unaware of them much of the time.
He regularly gets the rank of his late son Beau in the Army wrong, and has not gotten the number of grandchildren he has right in at least the last year, alternating between claiming 5 or 6 when the real number is 7.
You can almost forgive that last one, he is a very old man and Hunter did father 2 kids inside of a year with 2 different women (while dating his sister-in-law), so some confusion can be understood. But blanking on people he nominated to Cabinet posts? Not acceptable.
More often than not, when confronted with his failing mental capacity, Biden does what other dementia sufferers do: become angry. Joe has always had a short and nasty temper, add to that the forgetfulness of dementia and you have the perfect recipe for a dramatic scene every time he speaks.
Under those circumstances you see why his staff chooses not to correct him, and wouldn't want to set him off. That’s why advisor and former Congressman from Louisiana Cedric Richmond sat silently as Biden referred to him with the racist term “boy” during a recent conference call about hurricane Ida.
“We’re waiting for a few more people to get on, but we’re going to get started, if that’s OK with you all,” Biden started. “I’m here with my senior adviser and, um, boy who knows Louisiana very well, man. And New Orleans. Cedric Richmond.” If a national Republican had called a black man “boy,” there would non-stop riots until they resigned. You haven’t seen that because no national Republican is that stupid. The President of the United States is.
Were this a one-off, we could write it off as a simple mistake. But Joe Biden has several careers worth of causal racist comments and cracks in his wake, what’s one more? Richmond knew who he was taking a job with, just like everyone in the White House knew what they were signing up for. So when I said you “almost” feel bad for them, I meant not at all. They, almost more than Joe himself, are inflicting this damage on the country. Anything that makes them miserable is just karma.
