Joe Biden doesn’t need to worry about his prospects in South Carolina’s Democratic primary next week. He’s got that locked up.
He also knows he’s not likely to win the solidly red state come November. It hasn’t voted for a Democrat since 1976.
He’s spending this weekend in the state nonetheless, intent on driving home two messages: He’s loyal to the state that saved his campaign in 2020 and he’s determined to win back Black voters here and elsewhere who were central to his election last time but are less enthused this go-round.
Biden will be the keynote speaker Saturday night at the state party’s fundraising dinner ahead of its first ever “first-in-the-nation” Democratic primary on Feb. 3. He’ll stick around to attend a political event at St. John Baptist Church on Sunday, in a state where politics and faith are intertwined.
Abandon the party and vote for who exactly? The overt racists?
The guy who still thinks the central park five should be executed…
I’m going to vote for him because At least I know he’s racist, instead of hiding it. /s
That’ll teach those damn Democrats /s
Neither is an option, but supporting the party of covert racism surely isnt the answer
I don’t get this. According to polling, the Democratic Party has shifted further to the left on black social justice issues than blacks themselves. Forgiving student loans is a great example, since it disproportionately helps middle class black families more than middle class whites families. Only Dems have proposed and passed police reform, like eliminating qualified immunity. This just seems like another simplistic low information take.
Except he negotiated down on that and failed to deliver.
What are you talking about?
Student loan forgiveness wasn’t an act of congress, so he did not have anyone to “negotiate down” with. His first executive order was struck down by SCOTUS. But he hasn’t backed down and has forgiven over $130 billion through various methods.
Can you not make stuff up? There’s enough misinformation on the internet.
Biden found a way

Can you stop participating in conversations you clearly know nothing about?
That’s not what “negotiate” means.
And he didn’t “fail to deliver”. You’re objectively wrong about it, which is why you didn’t even attempt to defend yourself.
The real answer would be to start their own political party and try to break us out of this nonsensical FPTP system.
FPTP can still work if we eliminated the electoral college which would force politicians to earn votes, eliminate primaries, which helps keep the oligarchy in power, one general election on election day, 1 term for the president, and fixed term for Congress. And the ability to remove a politician from power if they dont represent their constituents. And there’s no reason we couldn’t have remote voting via app on election day
Feel like you’d have better odds reducing / eliminating FPTP then doing everything else you listed here. There are already states with ranked choice, after all.
