Joe, You Know This Promise Is Bullsh!t

Thanks for the link but I don’t see anything about police and race relations. He seemed to be talking about Economics

Yes and no, Slade. He appears to be talking about taxation and (not) vilifying the rich. On the other hand, "nothing will fundamentally change" comprises everything, policing and race relations included. Bertram appears to be interpreting Biden's remark that way, and not for the first time.

If you looked closely enough, that was in June 2019. Quite a bit changed since, from the pandemic hitting the world to Sanders mounting a formidable challenge and being granted influence on the Democratic party platform, and race relations being put on the table with an urgency not felt back then. So, it would be safe to assume Biden would not issue the same assuring message today, and seeing everything in light of "nothing would fundamentally change" is most assuredly neither a fair nor an accurate way to interpret current-day statements.

I think politicians make broad statements like this all the time in the course of campaigning. You can say it was a blanket statement that applies to everything and then bring it up every time he calls for a progressive policy And call him a hypocrite if you want... but that’s gonna be very tiring.
