In reply to the discussion: Biden Says We Should 'Protect' Columbus, Washington and Jefferson Statues [View all]Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)This election might feel like it's in hand but with how fluid it's been the last few weeks, anything can shift it and I'm sure the last thing any of us want is to hand Trump a resonating message on something Biden likely has very little impact over, beyond just a symbolic endorsement.
Look, it sucks that Biden isn't bold enough to put himself against 60% of the country on an issue, but at this stage my goal is to win and hope, after we win, we can begin changing the narrative and the support for guys like Columbus. But endorsing mobs tearing down Columbus statues is not going to help.
Sorry you want him to take a politically tough position. I get we'd like Biden to be bold. But I'm sure he's not going to risk giving Trump an opening on this issue knowing Biden flat out can't really do much on his end anyway.
