The BLM movement is certainly far from faultless. The violence and looting isn't unworth talking about, as many on the left would argue.

But comparing Biden against Trump in this specific regard just feels like a drop in the bucket to me. Did you read the full context of that quote? It really isn't hard to see what he was talking about. This isn't one of the arguments against Biden that holds any real weight to me. Those arguments are certainly out there, though.

You might be right about him dropping out. I've heard about Obama's reservations with his candidacy. I also heard a couple insiders point out though that Biden might simply feel compelled to stay in the race by Obama's presses to drop out, and that their friendship is rockier than many believe. I've gone back and forth about whether I'd prefer him to drop out myself.

Thanks for the reply!
