Oh beautiful many of us felt like we would never really get a chance to fight. I didnt realize at the time it was because of the color of my skin.

Biden of course does this yet has so egregiously betrayed its base especially labor that they threw them into the republican camp and just as that animists was expressed towards Hillary Clinton i think to a certain extent it will be expressed towards joe biden because biden was very much an architect of nafta and then of course the 1994 omnibus crime bill militarized police on and on and on all the free trade deals you know biden had his hands in all of this so yes i think that this trail on the part of the Democratic Party towards their traditional base is going to be as much a part of this election as it was in 2016 in fact some of the exit polling that were seeing tonight although not conclusive seems to show that the people in large measure who are voting for joe biden are not so much voting for george much as theyre voting against donald trump whereas the people who are voting for donald trump are actually voting for donald trump what do you make of that.
