Joe isn't the Democratic candidate for president yet. You are assuming that he will be. People can still vote against him. Here's some more shocking news (article form Rolling Stone):
Biden Rejects Calls to Apologize for Praise of Segregationist
Why would he do that? Why is it apparently so hard for him to apologise? Does he not think Segregationists are wrong?

Biden may be racist, but Trump is worse as a human being.
And it's not like many of us haven't harbored racist attitudes and thoughts in our past or current lives. We're not clean either, so let's not pretend it's only the people we disapprove of that have issues with prejudice.

In assuming this was directed at me...
I didn't say that I absolutely wouldn't vote for Biden: Just that he's pure shit.
Which he is, btw. True story.
Secondly, if I choose not vote for Biden that doesn't mean that I'll be "teaming up" with Trump.
Voting for Trump is not something I would ever entertain.
If you subscribe to the notion that not voting for ANY garbage candidate that the Dems trot is a vote for the opposition, then I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree.

For the record, neither was I, just to he clear. I was directing my comment to my fellow Bernie boys.

Joe Biden could be "civil" with segregationists "because he shared their views"
Yes, well candidates possessing racist sentiments are a dime a dozen. There's no getting around that, really. Can't avoid them, in either party.
Dems just make a better show of attempting to disguise their resentments, so it is what it is.
My issue with Biden is that he's a deeply moronic establishment tool who's mental agility appears to be fading fast.
He's well past his prime and is most likely unfit to serve, IMO.
The more he opens his mouth, the more I'm convinced that he's a blathering, senile idiot who's incapable of learning.

Ah...My apologies then.

Ugghhh. No, Biden is not racist. Will you Dems please stop eating your own? This is how you end up reelecting Trump.

Well, Biden has always been gaffe prone. Nothing new there. The habit of calling everyone and everything racist feeds the perception that the Dems are over sensitive ninnies. When AOC alluded to the idea that Pelosi was racist, it weakens those charges made against others who are actually racist.

Racism would be the least of that woman's issues
