    Well, I’m non-partisan, and I was raised in a Pentecostal household, therefore, unlike most partisan people, I will not defend a politician who’s wrong.

    Thus, if Biden actually said “10 - 15% of Americans are not very good people, then He was wrong to say that.

    Now, here’s my belief; “The most common mental illnesses in America is partisanism, due to the fact most partisan people will defend a politician before and after he/she has been proven wrong.

    If partisan people would have the balls to poke their leaders when they are wrong, our moral values would significantly increase.

    I think his estimate is close. About 6% of Americans end up going into the criminal judicial system. 4 to 9% not caught and not put into the system? Sounds about right.

    I concur, 100%. Partisanship is a disease.

    Quote; I think his estimate is close

    Close or not, some things are better left unsaid, and what Biden said will not influence a change of behaviour. In addition, it was not presidential.

    Note; The main reason why I want Trump out of the Oval Office is because he has been pathologically wrong.

    Why isn't it a good thing to say on the campaign trail? Seriously? It's the truth, isn't it? Should all politicians just boot lick and give positive messages to get elected? Lie to get elected? The one thing you can count on Joe for is speaking his mind, even when he doesn't want or mean to. You'll pretty much always get his truth. So that way, you can judge him at his word. His advisors hate it, but its what I like most about him.

    I agree. The right to free speech is not a requirement to speak.

    10%-15%? I'd put it at 35% or whatever trump's core of support is these days.

    You can't be a good person and support trump. That's a no brainer.

    But getting adrenalined up, angy, and cracking suspects heads, is what the right wants from police. Americans in large part crave revenge over justice.

    Biden was referring to violent left wing radicals.

    It's politics so, yeah. Never give your opponent ammo.

    That's a myth. Biden is just as much of a panderer as the rest and will say whatever he thinks will help him.
