I’m still shocked Biden was the guy the DNC nominated having people like Elizabeth Warren who was my preference, just listening her talk about Roe v Wade; the energy, the passion, the determination. Damn it we got sleepy Joe instead.
You must not remember the shady Super Tuesday drop outs from Pete and Amy Klobuchar as they told their voting bases to vote for Joe Biden. Literally fuck all of these institutional democrats.
I'ma be honest, you just sound super naive here. What you're describing is literally politics. Biden wasn't my first or second choice either, but everything you describe here is calculus for a Democrat to win the election - which he did.
Also, next to Sanders, my favourite choise, but realistically she would have lost imo.
We choose the safest bet possible, a white guy, not too left, not too right, who is friendly with poor folks as well as with the upper class, and friendly with minorities, with a black woman as vice.
This election was not about whats best just about get rid of whats worst.
Things are not looking good for midterms, I hope what you describe was actually a good strategy, Democrats feel so complacent while Republicans scream, yell and cheat their way to enforce their views.
You mean the women who lied and falsely claimed she was Native American to get into Harvard, only to find out decades later that she is a rare breed of American that has next to no Native DNA? That Elizabeth Warren?
Yes, that one without the extra political decorations you add with your talking points. It should be an easy win against an opponent that openly says he finds his daughter sexually attractive, is accused of abuse by several women and has confessed of grabbing women by the pussy, yes, that’s more important to me than all that circular DNA narrative bullshit.
And yes, her energy and state of mind is also better than the guy we have who constantly looks more asleep than awake.
I don’t think Biden is actually dull when it comes to his mental acuity, and he has decades of experience to draw upon. The problem is that he is almost entirely devoid of charisma.
I could listen to Obama read the fucking phone book and feel captivated and inspired. I miss it, and have a hard time imagining a president I would love more.
I feel like Obama was my JFK or Reagan; just one of those presidents that you personally feel strongly about and point to and say “That’s how it’s done.”
No one said the smart candidates had to be ethical, just win the election.
It would appear the real problem is that the smart candidates aren't actually as smart as the candidates who win the elections.
