If Biden and Booker were the only primary candidates, how would Biden supporters respond to…

[darklordoftech]

…accusations of racism?

[Mr. Smith]

About as well as Obamanites/Bernie Bros. took to sexism accusations, or for that matter Clintonians took to racism accusations in 2008.

Take that as you want to.

[President Johnson]

…accusations of racism?

What accusations of racism? They would all fall flat because they're nonsense. Kamala actually kinda tried it and she dropped out before a single vote was cast while Biden won the nomination thanks to black voters.

I meant “What would their response be”, not “How well would they respond?”

[Bootes Void]

i could see a scenario where they end the primary and Booker becomes VP. but anyways there has to be some sort of credible accusation of this, not just nonsensical slander

Harris’s attack on Biden fell flat because Harris supporters and Biden supporters saw Sanders as the true enemy. In a one-on-one election, there would be no other feuds to distract from a feud between the two candidates.

It might not work out too well, but these voters could also cite Biden's oppositon to busing in the sixties and his authoring of the crime bill in 1994. They could say something like, "Instead of supporting the African-American candidate in this race, you're supporting the one who used to oppose busing, and the one who authored the crime bill that disproportionately landed minorities in jail over minor charges, such as drug possession."

I’m not sure who these types of voters are because both of their core bases are basically black voters over the age of 35. If we are talking about younger woke liberals, most of them would be still around to keep Sanders in the running

But Biden's opponents did say this. And it failed because these are dumb reasons.

Black people opposed busing. Why do you think Kamala backtracked a few days later when asked about her stance on busing?

Black people supported the 1994 crime bill. Look at polling at the time.

Harris and Booker both tried to play the race card and landed flat on their a**

And the primary would never go down to just Biden and Booker. They are both moderates! What happened to the 1/3 of the party who are progressives? They would back Bernie, Warren or whomever Bernie endorses. Not going to be Booker, who is even more centrist than Biden

This is exactly what happened in 2008 and 1992. The actual liberal or progressive choice was booted fast.

I mean that's why no one's talking about a Kucinich administration.
