A place for all the gaffs, slip-ups and overall outlandish things Democratic candidates will say or do in lead up to the 2020 Election.

Biden needs to learn to control his temper when he is asked about Hunter. There are a lot of those questions in his future.

To his credit - at least he didn't bring in a surrogate when the going got tough.

In all seriousness, I don't think Biden is well.

And what is Yang thinking? At least he has one handler who recognizes a trainwreck when he sees it.

Maybe Yang is thinking he can siphon off some of the creepy vote from Biden.

Probably why Biden started sucking in his wife’s fingers the other day.

Political correctness is the death of sincerity.
Remember when Obama was called "clean"?
Now, Bloomberg is having to apologize for calling Booker "well-spoken." That's racist!

“Cory Booker endorsed me a number of times, and I endorsed Cory Booker a number of times. He’s very well spoken, he’s got some good ideas.”
-Michael Bloomberg

People do seem to use it disproportionately when discussing non-white people.

Maybe we should just acknowledge that enough people find it offensive to avoid using it especially when talking about someone who isn’t white?

You probably think it’s silly.

I usually avoid telling people I don’t believe in their god when someone mentions praying or gives advice from the Bible. It isn’t worth the possibility that they might be offended. Even though I think it’s silly.

"Tyranny of the masses" is the term that comes to mind.

Yes, how did I forget that Robespierre rose to power riding a wave of political correctness.

This has been a trend the last couple of years with him.

I hate to keep focusing on Biden, but he keeps doing this:

Clean or well spoken in reference to a black person is certainly a marker of the sort of racist who generally believes they aren’t racist.

I don’t think those same terms applied to other non-whites are nearly as a reliable indicator of the racism of the speaker.

. . . until next week, when self-appointed thought police vigilantes take offense over some other word or expression, particularly if it's not even directed at them!

But, "jive turkey" will always be acceptable.

You are tilting at the wrong windmill. Referring to a black person as "clean", "articulate", "well spoken" etc is something only an old racist white dude would say.

I'm sure Mayor Bloomberg will make other politically incorrect utterances before all is said and done.

This thread reminds me that Republicans will always expect more from Democrats then their own.

Na, it's just entertaining to watch them trip over their own feet.
