Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

I miss the Nebraska classy gentlemen’s club

Biden harkens back to an era when politics was a gentleman's club for Democrats and Republicans to pal around while having intellectual disagreements on policy. It was easy for Biden to call Vice President Mike Pence "a decent guy," and he often refers to his Republican friends. But people have grown impatient with calls to reach across the aisle simply for the sake of bipartisanship; those who use their power to systematically deny women and minorities their basic rights are not "decent" people. While Biden defaults to assuming decency in politicians like Pence, we need politicians to prove they believe in their constituents' basic humanity.

    I’m not agreeing with the author. I just liked the quote about the gentlemen’s club.

    I figured you weren't but it is a question I wish the author would have answered. That's a claim I hear all the time and whenever you ask them to identify what these basic rights are that are being denied you don't get much of an answer.

    Well I suspect for those on the far left, unless we get to a place of nearly equal outcomes across population groups they will continue to scream discrimination and racism.

    I'm not sure that Biden claiming the GOP wants to return to Jim Crow is a gentleman thing

    Some could call it divisive

    Just kidding he's a Democrat

    Or that Republicans want to put blacks back in chains.

    Republicans got blacks OUT of chains.

    Hope this helps.
