Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Biden's singular advantage, as a candidate, [View all]Perseus
(4,341 posts)I do have my least favourites, and Biden is on that list.
One thing I can tell you is that Biden will not beat the creature, Biden continually shoots himself on the foot, he lacks progressive ideas and will be vilified as "more of the same". I will vote for him if he becomes the nominee, but the goal has to be greater than just getting rid of trump and winning the senate, we need someone who can fix the country, who can reverse all the wrongdoing republicans have done during these three years, and I don't see Biden being able to do that.
At this time I find that Sanders has what it takes to ridicule the creature during debates, Sanders doesn't allow people to bully him, Warren has a similar agenda as Sanders, and she too will put Pence on his place. Although I won't consider those two my favourites, I find that their actions up to now deserve more consideration than Biden who has said very little constructive and has made many gaffs.
He called the creature "Mr. President" four times in a very short time during one of the debates, to me that is pandering to the right, that will not win him any votes from Democrats. As I have said before, one of Biden's weaknesses is that he wants to be liked by all, he thinks "Mitch", as he calls him, is his friend and there could be nothing further from the truth.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
