So how did calling people Deplorables work out for Hillary... Joe Biden says ‘10-15 per cent’ of Americans ‘not very good people’ https://www.independent.co.uk/us-el...d-protests-americans-bad-people-a9550166.html Presidential candidate Joe Biden has accused Donald Trump of playing to a small sliver of the American public that consists of “not very good people” – echoing comments by previous candidates who sought to explain rifts in the electorate at times of bitter division. “Do we really think this is as good as we can be as a nation?” said Mr Biden during an online discussion with black supporters. “I don’t think the vast majority of people think that. “There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 per cent of the people out there that are just not very good people, but that’s not who we are. The vast majority of the people are decent, and we have to appeal to that and we have to unite people. Bring them together. Bring them together.” Mr Biden’s remarks come as the US is roiled by the largest protests over racial inequality in a generation, fired up by the death of George Floyd at the knee of a white police officer, the shooting of Breonna Taylor in her apartment by a police officer, and the killing of unarmed Ahmaud Arbery by two white neighbours. Mr Trump and many of his supporters, however, are currently focused on imposing “law and order” on the protesters, including by deploying military forces to “dominate” the streets. In the early reaction to what Mr Biden said, more than a few people pointed out that his remarks echo sentiments expressed by candidates in recent elections – and in the last two, the losers. Hillary Clinton’s 2016 description of “half of Trump’s supporters” as bigoted “deplorables” has become one of the most remembered quotes of her campaign; pro-Trump rallies now feature supporters wearing hats saying “adorable deplorable”. However, Ms Clinton’s description of the other half of Mr Trump’s base has been largely forgotten. “That other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re just desperate for change. It doesn’t really even matter where it comes from. “They don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won’t wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they’re in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathise with as well. (More at above url)
Number is far higher than 15% and it did not hurt her in the election imo as deplorables was never going to vote for her
Not so quick Joe, we need an explanation of just who these 15% are. Spell it out. Identify them. Grow a pair and call a spade a spade, or in this case, a cracker a cracker.
So how did the election go for Hillary.... Oh yeah, that's right. She lost. Is Joe deliberately trying to lose this election.
Low black voter turnout.Obama would have lost in 2012 with the black voter turnout Hillary had in 2016.Had nothing to do with with her calling deplorables deplorable.Her biggest mistake was not picking a Black VP.
There is/are an enormous number/percentage of good people out there. You could throw a dart at the map of the United States and most likely the person who lived at that place would bend over backwards to help you if you were in trouble. Maybe that person does not believe in abortion after the ninth month or still goes to church or thinks that we should not be a colony of China or owns a few guns and shoots rats down at the dump and believes that if you have a dick you were probably born as a man but that does not make them a deplorable. We have just let the riff-raff take over.
He answered the question. The people who would have Trump destroy the very institutions that make America what it is, or could be. Trump is just a destroyer. Look at the trail he left behind in his business dealings, and in his political dealings. Someone remarked that he doesn't play 3D chess, he eats the chess pieces. The people who voted for such a man need to have a heart-to-heart conversation with their mirror.
