Biden’s history regarding race is far from progressive. In the early 1970s, Biden denounced the need for busing in the North, which would have desegregated schools, a stance he stood by in his memoir published in 2007. Biden also played a large role in criminal justice reform that disproportionately harmed people of color in the U.S.

In relation to women in the U.S., Biden’s singular transformative policy was the Violence Against Women Act. However, there have been far more actions that would demonstrate that Biden does not truly understand its purpose. 

As of April 5, 2019, there have been seven official allegations against Biden for various inappropriate interactions. On April 3, 2019, Biden posted an informal video on Twitter that acknowledged that times were changing. Although, there was no mention once about how Biden understood his actions were inappropriate or any mention of the word "sorry."

Biden’s handling of the most recent allegations against him as well as voters' complacency to its impact demonstrates a terrible truth of the state of American politics. 

Saying, "that is just how he is" is not good enough. Biden must take steps to ensure that he changes the way he interacts with voters, women and children. 

By not acknowledging the importance of his actions or words, Biden demonstrates a fundamental disconnect with the women who have stepped forward against him. 

These are some of the many reasons why he should NEVER be voted president.

As youth, it is our responsibility to ensure that those elected are responsive to the times rather than just citing progressiveness to attract voters.
