    This piece complains about a “lack of communication” about bidens accomplishments and then goes on to list precisely none of them. Are we to suppose it’s a case of not wanting to because theyre not worth mentioning or is it more a casually racist assumption by the writer that no black Americans read Politico?

      Even if that were the case, Politico readers would still benefit from knowing them. Maybe the concerns of black voters are not ones they want to address, and talking about them just makes their job more difficult

        Yeah you’re right. it’s probably just that style all writers seem to use these days, where they detach themselves (and the reader) from the subject as if neither has anything to do with The Problem
