How many ways can the poor man state he does not support white supremacy?

For liberals, a million times is not enough, since they'll just gloss over each denouncement to further their lie.

I'm waiting for the day someone has the balls to ask Biden if he denounces white supremacy. After all, it was Biden, NOT Trump, who gave the eulogy for card carrying KKK member and white supremacist Robert Byrd, who filibustered the Civil Rights act for 14 hours. In the eulogy, Biden called him a mentor and a friend.

Byrd may have pretended to have changed in his later years for political reasons, but very few people I know would associate with someone that had been a recruiter for the KKK, no matter how "regretful" they were. I would also NEVER call that person a friend. Just replace "KKK" with "Nazi" and play out the same scenario, and you'll see how vile a person Byrd was, and how Biden calling him a friend and mentor speaks volumes about Biden's character.

If "socialism" is your word for turning taxpayer dollars back around to fund programs that will benefit the populace that pays them, creating a strong social welfare safety net that everybody can access should they need it, eliminating loopholes and subsidies for profitable corporations and big businesses and making them pay their FULL share of taxes, protecting the environment and our natural resources, ensuring that every citizen has access to a job that pays a living wage, that every citizen has full access to comprehensive health care, that all people regardless of race, color, national origin, disability, sex or gender status are fully equal to each other...

yeah, socialism IS the way to go. The countries that trounce the US in terms of quality of life and standard of living are all social democracies, and it's high time we follow suit.

No, socialism is taking from the middle class and giving their tax dollars to the poor and needy who'd rather not work. It has nothing to do with your incorrect rant above.

Explain to me, then, why countries like Denmark, Finland and Norway have the means to provide programs to ALL their citizenry, and thus trounce the US in quality of life and standard of living.

Their people have no problem paying taxes because they know those taxes are going to get turned right back around and utilized for THEIR benefit. Everything they have we lack - mandatory paid leave, paid child care, universal health care, TRUE equality for women which is unfettered by the Fundie freak shows trying to dictate policy according to their stupid religion, plus their college population doesn't have to mortgage their future to get an education.

They also don't favor big corporations and big business like here in the US. I don't understand why people here in the US are ok with CORPORATE Socialism, which benefits big business where the CEO's get paid several thousand times what their employees on the front lines get paid, and then they yell and scream "communist!!" about DEMOCRATIC Socialism, which benefits the citizenry (including them).

Trump's "beautiful smile" is greatly enhanced by major dental work. Look at his military school graduation photo, when he was seventeen or eighteen. Those long, crooked teeth and exposed gums are long gone.

I can't stand Trump, but will grant you he has a nice smile, on the rare occasions we get to see it. Otherwise, that outthrust lower lip and tiny pursed mouth certainly don't add to his appeal, for me at any rate.
