Was Biden being stupid here, so? And if he contracted Coronavirus in the following days, would you be saying it was "his own stupidity that has landed him in hospital"?
That was outside, here's Biden during the commercial break with Anderson Cooper and suddenly when the cameras aren't on socially distancing goes out the window.

Truth is the democrats and the left have used Coronavirus, masks and socially distancing politically, some of them even getting caught on a hot mic admitting as much:

Yes, if Biden caught it due to stupidity then I would say he caught it due to stupidity
See Pete, I dont feel the need to defend EVERYTHING Biden.
Your big strong leader has caught covid due to his own stupidity, its ok though, its just a flu, it will disappear like magic...and if he doesn't get through this
Well..... to quote the man himself, "it is what it is"0 -

Biden is exactly right. Anti-fascists are not an organisation, anti-fascism is a concept, an ideological stance. The idea that its some kind of definable terrorist group is a fevered conservative fantasy believed only by credulous morons and propagandists.
This is not some obscure secret, the information and history is out there and is verifiable by even a cursory glance at the history of anti fascist movements.
And if Trump said there were no white supremacist groups, that white supremacy was just "an idea" - that'd have been okay?? Come on.
Organized and orchestrated chaos is not an idea. Ideas don't set fire to buildings, loot and throw Molotov cocktails at police. Ideas don't split people's heads open.
Even Wiki makes it clear that Antifa are not just a "concept":Rose City Antifa (RCA) is an antifa group founded 2007 in Portland, Oregon It is a leftist group. It is the oldest active antifa group in the United States. While anti-fascist activism in the United States dates back to the 1980s, RCA is the first to adopt the moniker "antifa". Since 2016, Rose City Antifa is one of the nine chapters of Torch Network coalition.
One member of that chapter of Antifa got six years for splitting a man's head open with a baton and here they are trying to get support for him in prison:
Just "an idea"? No, Trump is 100% correct about them and the dangers that they pose to America. Biden downplaying Antifa as just "an idea" is just an attempt to to dilute their actions and make it appear as if the Trump administration are wrong to categorize them as domestic terrorists. He's not and it's just another very good reason that Biden is not fit to be POTUS and Trump should get reelected.0 -

Nor do I, as even this anti-Trump Boardsie pointed out recently

Have to say, can't see you saying Biden "reaped what he sowed" if he fell ill after that Townhall but nice of you to admit Biden was stupid to do what he did though.Your big strong leader has caught covid due to his own stupidity, its ok though, its just a flu, it will disappear like magic...and if he doesn't get through this Well..... to quote the man himself, "it is what it is"
That's just conjecture and I note that 99.9% of your criticisms are off the cuff remarks he has made, as if he was suddenly going to be this articulate great orator all of a sudden. We all know he's not a master of the English language and owns of the smallest thesauruses in the world, but again, none of that negates any of the many actions which his administration, at Trump's behest, undertook from Jan-Oct to try and mitigate the spread of the Coronavirus and ensure Americans were kept safe and had access to what they needed, including care, should they succumb to it.
As pointed out, 210,000 deaths is on a par with many countries, with regards to deaths per million, and when the dust clears, we'll very likely see that all a lot of countries achieved with strict shutdowns was that they slowed the spread, not prevented it. Mistakes for sure where made in NY, but you can't hold the federal Government responsible for everything. At some stage Governors have to carry the can for decisions they made which had little or nothing to do with who was sitting in the Oval. Indeed, Cuomo praised Trump for what he offered NY, only turning on him when it suited him to politically.
Four more years of Trump is what America needs. Blue States especially.0 -

Four more months will be all he will get and even that is too much IMO0 -

Pure delusion, from the top down with an extraordinary finish.
The only solution for those still behind Trump at this stage is to separate those red states and let him govern them, while they all ignore science, avoid wearing masks and congregate.
Perhaps when he bankrupts them, just like he is trying to do to the US as a whole, maybe - just maybe, the penny will drop. I doubt it.
That way at least, the damage will be minimised to those who are hopelessly devoted to the dumbest and most incompetent snakeoil salesman the world has ever seen.0 -

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/04/trump-behind-biden-election-poll-shows
Flashback to their poll this time 4 years ago.
The idea of a Dem +8 turnout which the poll is based on sounds extremely optimistic based on the registered voter figures which show a GOP increase which has spiked the past few months. The polls problem is projecting the electorate and turnout models and if they are off on turnout by a tiny bit like 2016, the polling error will be huge.
Biden's team wouldn't be campaigning in Michigan if they thought they were 14 points up and more importantly wouldn't be resorting to a ground game 4 weeks from the election after spending the previous 6 months saying that door to door electioneering was now obsolete. The voter registration numbers have to be a worry.0 -
