      I think Joe Biden is a deeply flawed candidate but I have to say this clip, which is circulating, is almost certainly misleading and edited to be such. The likely context (if you look at other clips) is discussion of culture of domestic violence. https://twitter.com/mooncult/status/1212549854016106496 …

      I do think it's a problem that Biden habitually talks in very confusing language, which makes it easy to misconstrue the point he's making. But the editing on that clip was also done in a way to deny context.

      It’s not just the editing. The tweet itself is totally deceptive, since it says Biden was talking about America’s “identity”, as opposed to American jurisprudence (which everyone, obviously, agrees derived from England).

      But it was Biden himself who made the jump from Anglo-American jurisprudence (a perfectly reasonable point) to "our European culture" (which is frankly Trumpian).

          Except he wasn’t using “European culture” in terms of American Exceptionalism. Quite the opposite from what I can tell.

          But he’s not making the jump you imply. He wasn’t saying American culture is European. He was saying the part of our culture that’s protected sexual predators and enabled misogyny is European in origin.

          Replying to @JamesSurowiecki @HeerJeet

          He may not be going full alt right but if he’s too unwell to express himself clearly that should be a dealbreaker. He says culture 3 times at the beginning of the video then goes on to make an obviously incorrect point

          It's funny because he was basically saying you need to change the culture because it's not enough to change the laws. That's true but then he uses the term *jurisprudential* culture which inverts the original assertion.
