Biden is an empty box that centrist dems can pour all their hopes and dreams into. What exactly are the issues he is running on other than not being Bernie?

I sat in on a 90 min interview with Biden in December and left with no clear understanding of what his policies are on most everything

Can't help but have a tremendous sense of dread as the party gets ready to launch Hillary 2.0 into the Trump machine.

Truly, the specter of Sanders actually becoming the Democratic candidate for POTUS was the greatest gift that could have been given to Joe Biden. Look at the difference between the early voting and the day-of votes.
Although, personally, I was hoping that Liz Warren would have been the recipient of that circumstance.

We'll see. Doing very, very badly would constitute a change, regardless. At the moment, it looks like she's only really picked up delegates in Massachusetts, Maine, and Minnesota, either way.



...If whoever posted that is serious and actually did that, they quite deserve a beatdown.

Chris is a notorious Twitter ****-poster, one of my favorite accounts to follow. It's a bit tricky as he is constantly getting banned and making new accounts.

He is probably best known for "MuellerDad69" where he claimed to be a Starbucks manager that discriminated against Christians and was firing any employee that said "Merry Christmas" at work, which was spread around enough to prompt a disavowal from Starbucks corporate. Absolute king.

So no, TonyBeast1957 didn't screw a van full of old people out of voting. Seems to have worked in pissing people off!

Highly recommend the podcast he co-hosts, "Eat the Rich"

Do his policies matter if the GOP is going to ensure that none of them see the light of day ? Even if the Democratic Party manage to get control of the Senate - and IMO that's quite unlikely - then all attempts to legislate will be paralysed by the courts.

A red state will ensure that a local court rules it illegal and if it's overturned and eventually goes to SCOTUS, they'll rule on partisan lines.

Have you seen any video clips of his bizarre speaking? He rambles into nonsense, with increasing frequency. While I fully agree with the premise of the "Trump is crazy" thread I don't think Biden's much better. He seems senile to me.

Is this what it's coming to, the world's superpower's choice for leadership is between a mad old idiot and a senile old fool?
 
According to early analysis, the youth vote failed to turn out in the numbers Bernie needed / expected. So much for the revolution. Better now than November.

It's especially striking if you compare video from Biden during Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns. There has been a clear drop in lucidity.

What the hell is wrong with you?

First of all, baby boomers were born after WWII so they're in their late 60s and 70s now. That's old. You're trying to make a distinction where none exists.

Second, what's wrong with that generation, exactly? Is it because they're not quite as progressive as you are? Who do you think pushed for social change in the 60s and 70s?

"Boomer" has become a boogeyman of the left nowadays. A Boomerman.

OK, Boomer.
 
538 now gives Biden a 30% chance of winning enough delegates to win the nomination, and Sanders an 8% chance.

This is true regardless of Sanders or Biden. If we get the Senate then at least with Sanders there is a chance of moving forward with progressive policies that most Americans want or at least moving the needle off public opinion and consciousness of those policies. With Biden you get status quo regardless.
 
Let's make a distinction between screwed and really screwed. We're really screwed if Trump names RBG's replacement. And maybe Breyer's.

Nope. He's pointing out "Don't blame the minority for being blocked by the majority".

Slavery got abolished because the minority became the majority. Because one became two became four, and those four fought fought for what they believed in, and became nine. The abolitionists won converts to their cause. That's why their cause ultimately prevailed. What's Bernie been up to, his whole political career?

That is the Warren path to victory.

Not in my mailbox in Austin. But he has bought a metric ton of ads on YouTube.

Yeah but "No Majority" still has solid lead and it doesn't matter because if Sanders doesn't win the nomination his supporter will just shift into "da estalbishment cheated" conspiracy mode without pausing for breath.

Sanders wins if he wins, and he wins if he loses because he's the rebal outsider working against ths sytem.
