The only thing he has proven himself to do is whatever gets him votes at that particular point in history.. He consistently was pro-segregation and made it the goal of his career right until it started to hurt him, then he did whatever was popular at that moment. He goes so over the top its almost comical anyone buys it.

@RememberUsAlways Sadly those were never the choices... The choice was always between a pro-segregationist (Biden) or a pro-fascist (Trump).
@gpowerf He didnt win the last election, Trump lost it... It was always Trump vs Not Trump
@freemo I literally cringe every time I read he will speak somewhere, I don't know where it is going to go. Anything is possible! He could stumble and fall, fumble his words, forget where he is, forget where he is going, forget his own name, forget what planet he is on, think he's meeting with Julius Caesar, think he is married to Marilyn Monroe, he could even play with his own faeces at this stage and I'd not be surprised!
I'm surprised he stood last election, and even though he won, I don't think he should stand again. I'm absolutely positive there's got to be a bright and younger Democrat who could do well.
@TruthSandwich hahaha :)
@TruthSandwich Yes you did, I dont see it as an endorsement.
And I agree, his whole hero-complex better than everyone else nonsense is quite offputting.
@TruthSandwich I'm sure you can dig some up... I've dealt with the man for years, he has lied about people, promoted violence, and generally has acted in ways I'd personally find unacceptable. You are free to judge for yourself.
@TruthSandwich This was ages ago as his whole instance then imploded from the inside and now this is his second attempt at an instance. I suspect half the reason he shutdown the old instance and started a new one was to bury all that shit.
@TruthSandwich The admin has at times supported violence on his own servers and justified it. He just knows how to play the game. He was so bad he used to be a moderator of one instance but was kicked off his own instance, or rather, politely encouraged to start his own since they didnt want him there anymore.
"Though more than one million Black Americans served in WWII, their military uniforms couldn't protect them from systematic racism. Military segregation was maintained throughout the war, which meant separate barracks and recreation facilities, both at home and abroad."

@slider7420 get some lightening bolts shaved into it :)
@DaniDanis Then it should have been quite trivial for the meme to provide a source... funny that.

@DaniDanis Hahaha ... yea no.. the obligation to provide sources is on the person making the claim, otherwise you look manipulative and dishonest, particularly when those claims are hyperbolic as these appear to be at first glance.
Google is not a source, the hits that google provides are not objective sources... this response is the same as "I heard people say it somewhere" which is the same as admiting this post has no credibility that the poster is aware of.
@deedeeque No one said anything to the contrary.. and no it isnt a complicated thing to understand (but discussing like a mature adult appears like it could be a problem for you).
As I said, the billionaire tax rate in america is higher than most of europe, even when you dont count the double taxation, which is relevant because usually the middle class use pass-through taxation schemes and dont experience the same double taxation.
@GatekeepKen In the USa the billionaire tax rate is at about 30% (37% federal + 12% state give or take)... which is higher than most countries.
Also keep in mind most billionaires experience double taxation, the company itself is taxed, then the billionaire is taxed too.
