"The Overlooked Factor in Biden’s Unpopularity"


I normally don't put opinion pieces up here. But a specific sentence from this particular one got a smile out of me.

"Throughout Trump’s tumultuous tenure, political reporters in search of the president’s blue-collar base trekked out to Midwest and Rust Belt diners so frequently that the articles they produced inspired their own parodies."
I'm going against the grain, the overlooked factor is simple: He was never the Democrat's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th possibly not even their 6th choice.
Black folk whose media outlet for so-called politics like Chamalagne da god (where Biden said you aint black if U dont vote for me)...was THE last one asked on that show.

In 2008 the Democrats chose Obama, Clinton, Edwards, Richardson....How then can we say Biden is NOT popular at the moment?

IMO Because MSNBC and CNN are not -were never- ever pro-liberal, They are Pro-business -whoever invests in their ads sponsors, thats who they are loyal to and the constant- nonstop hollering from the media on Biden NOT being popular is proof enough - the media fascilitates divisiveness in America.

As far as their claims on Afghanistan pullout, Iraq...they must've forget he LONGED held this position I quote FIX news: "He also opposed President George W. Bush’s plan to send more troops to Iraq, saying “there is no military solution” in the country."

Biden would go on Meet the Press when Tim Russert did the show- he asked him on the war on terror-period and Biden said the same damn thing- THERE AINT NO SOLUTION to pull out.

The truth is clear, now that the Democrats made it clear why they voted for Biden- Anyone but Trump...they got what they asked for.
The same shit as Republicans in 2016...Anyone but Clinton...they got what they asked for.


Biden was so easily disliked- remember when rightwing went crazy over this: The controversy:

Biden drew controversy when in February 2007 he called Obama “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” He later apologized, but the remark was not forgotten.

How dare he! Call Obama, clean. Articulate..and the nerve! To call him bright! Worse, how dare A Democrat say he was the 1st...so no other blacks were clean or bright? Considering this is FIX

Let FAKE FOX name just one black man they think is bright and clean...and he will be a black-hating black man daring to insult all Democrats...just to be tolerated by Rightwingers.

And we know Biden's 1st run ended in 3 months when he was outted as “lifting Mr. Kinnock's closing speech without giving him credit for it.
Biden's position on blacks and their neighborhood was right alongside the thinking of southerners who dislike blacks....said he didnt want his kids in a ghetto -or jungle or something to that effect. It is called cold truth when republicans makes comments like that- but if a Democrat does...well there is the closet racist.

Taking all that into context, Biden never had a positive rating by Americans -just his constituents in his homestate.

And the rightwing media steps back and watch mainstream all by themselves declaring we need to see Biden by approval ratings.
God forgive if we are reminded of what he walked into. Problems that are either very difficult to fix or problems created by design -which guarantees certain entites will always reap the benefits of unsolveable problems.



What I highlight from @TitoFan link:
1. He was not the first choice for many of them—the most popular Democrats early in the primary were Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

2.When I asked co-op members how they thought Biden was doing, ... “He’s up against a lot,” Jennifer Percival, a 42-year-old speech pathologist, told me.

3. My thoroughly unscientific survey uncovered no mass exodus from Biden’s corner in Park Slope.

4. Others blamed the media for the president’s unpopularity (like me!!!!)

5. Democrats are relying on robust turnout from white progressives and Black voters in urban centers. (Housenegro republicans stood by & did nothing to stop the closings of polls where their own people live. They pissed themselves and stayed silent on early voting, mail-ins...so yeah Biden & Any Democrat can worry then)


Because Biden was never a leftist rather a centrist he will always have detractors from the extreme left- In fact I outted a long time poster here who talked so much garbage about Biden....I dug up his posts from 10 years ago- and he was a guy who spoke down to earth, not political enough...yeah right!
& because republicans hate in the name of a god...we know- that no matter how many times Biden would choose to side with a Republican- they will not see it that way...they will do always- say Oh Look Biden is so terrible he cant even get his own party to follow him.
As opposed to -finally a Democrat breaks with liberal ranks.

Hated by the extreme left & right makes a recipe for a president that at worst is hated. At best is tolerated, never truly liked let alone respected is Old Joe.
