If you don't like what he did or said 40 years ago, you don't have to vote for him. Simple as that.

So that makes his actions hidden? Odd system of ethics you have

Why not be happy that Joe has evolved over time? Do you think he has the potential to regress? You don't think that he's being truthful?

What's your concern other than to simply criticize his past?

No, Paul, it doesn't make his actions hidden. But we're all free to make our decisions on who to vote, or not vote, for. From my perspective, Biden has a good record overall on Civil Rights. He was wrong on busing, but I'm okay with someone making mistakes and working to overcome them.

If you want to hold something that happened 40 years ago against him, by all means go ahead. But please don't make it sound like if we disagree, we're unethical or racist or something like that.

If I thought Biden today would work against integrating our schools, I wouldn't vote for him, but I don't think that.

To take it a step further (and I don't believe this either), I'd still vote for a Biden who believed in segregated schools over a MAGA who embraces hanging instead of segregation. There's always nuances involved and we're never going to have what any of us might consider The Perfect. Just the Best We Can Do. And that truly has been Biden and I think needs to be for a few more years.
