This clip is from a November 2007 town hall in Iowa. The question was whether "the pervasiveness of special interest groups" bother Biden; he says they do, hence this irony-drenched answer. 1/2

...this is as disgusting as snipping a short segment out of that video of Chelsea Clinton a month or two ago.
Do they think that garbage like this is going to win them allies?

This is no different than Karl Roves tactics, Breitbart, or OANN etc.

(9,328 posts)It says exactly what was in the text below. So its not that different watching and not watching. Anyway, we have the exact same position on this issue so maybe there's no need to fight about it..

(146,356 posts)You've been on DU for 15 years. Surely you've seen some stuff about Joe Biden posted here. He's not some mysterious character who just crawled out of the woodwork. Remember? He was Obama's VP for eight of those 15 years. You must have learned something about him.

(9,328 posts)But i googled it and he HAS been an advocate for public financing so I've got to give him props for that!

(772 posts)it worked in 2016 and painted Hillary as corrupt even though no one ever answered her challenge of "show me one piece of legislation or one policy proposal that is tied to a donation."
They are doing so again and we know who they are trying to benefit. That candidate will never have my vote and he will never win the primaries.
I just hope these stupid tactics don't give ammo to the republicans during GE.
Trump used Sanders' attacks on Hillary to win Ohio, PA, WI and MI -- perhaps THAT is the goal of Justice Democrats.

(42,862 posts)I have the greatest level of contempt for ANYONE associated with "Justice Democrats". They're as dishonest and deceptive as the day is long. Their agenda is to destroy the Democratic party so that they can "rebuild" it... it's all very Uyguresque and Sarandonesque in its approach to what they want to accomplish.
If they REALLY want to make a difference, why don't they spend their time trying to destroy the GOP? Instead, they seem to be obsessed with denigrating and dividing Democrats, they want to create distrust and resentment... and sadly, all those things only serve to weaken the Democratic party. And, a weakened and divided Democratic party only benefits Trump, and the GOP, and Russia.
It's that kind of negativity that generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

It might make people question their intentions.
Dirty politics come from shady people.

(5,969 posts)They are willfully presenting out of context attacks because they believe they can manipulate their followers. Their fans should be offended for being seen as gullible and naive. But it seems to be working. People are lazy and love to see reinforcements for their biases. But to believe that a politician would say he's for sale is so laughable, I can only feel sorry for those who cannot see that are played like fools by a ratfucking propaganda outfit.

(35,619 posts)Nobody was trying to trick anyone into thinking Biden said this in 2019.
The point is that Biden said hed give bundlers special access in 2007 and now he has bundlers.
