OK, prove it.

Show us your references and links.

We are waiting ...

If that is too hard for you, you can just admit that you made that comment up out of your own head.

Biden has experience and a record of public service that expands beyond anyone in the field. Biden has a great chance of beating the bully, Trump.
Biden has a long political history with little accomplishment.
His position on uniting people is the same as it has always been with the democrat party. Agree with the left or be silent. When people don't have a voice and are ignored its easy to say everyone is united. Its group think policy supporting division with the goal of giving voice only to those inside the leftist collective.

It other words its complete BS ignoring the idea that oil and water will separate unless agitated. Biden is the leader in agitation.
What will become more clear in the upcoming debates is Biden's undoing and its obvious now.
Agitation is a symptom of dementia. The more he agitates the more he will expose his dementia.

Informed voters should be aware of what is or may effect their candidates behavior if elected to office. Biden's ability recently to express a coherent idea can not go unnoticed or be in his favor.
Biden says he is progressive but his bigger problem may well be, "Progressive dementias"

Nobody ever complained that "Obama wasn't white." In fact, that's the only reason an empty suit like him ever got elected President.

It's funny how some folks have forgotten about that.
This is one of my two favorite Quotes, the other being "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." . It bothers me greatly that the Democratic Party today promotes the exact opposite of the values they used to support so eloquently.

I think that says a lot about the character and the future of the Democratic party.
The communist party has all that in common with the democrat party too !!!
Maybe it would be better to look at where they differ, if possible.
There must be some fringe issue differences that could be focused on.

Wrong, both still apply. Democrats are patriots.

What bothers me is that your perspective has been so skewed, apparently by propaganda.

The communist party is totalitarian, and believes in state capitalism, accepting of unfettered monopoly and denying people the right to determine public policy through free elections.

So in that respect, the Republican party is more alike to them.

In fact, and I have seen this first hand, the CCP/ Zhōngguó Gòngchǎndǎng is more like the Republican party than anything else. Party members are mostly in business and they exploit the working people through their access to power. The ones I met reminded me of eager Young Republicans looking forward to the next trendy business scam.

Again you are talking about what is the same with democrats not the differences. Democrats believe in state capitalism as a way to fund socialist policy. In fact they can't do it any other way. Just as it was with capitalist funding the rise of Communist China.

Again, the idea is to look at the differences. The subject I was addressing was the democrats differences with communism. Once that is done we can broaden the subject and look at the republicans and make comparisons without distractions and muddying the issue.

Again you are fixated on sameness. Under socialism or communism it is the ruling elites in charge of the one party system that benefit the most and there in no method in the system to dislodge them from power by the people. Only those in more powerful positions can do it and it consolidates their power at the top.

Who controls business in communist Russia and China ? In the US the case can be made that business controls the political system. Not so in China or Russia or Venezuela or Cuba or etc.…………..

Funny how various liberals and Democrats often stress that there be non-White men in areas like entertainment and politics but we still get a number of White men!
