The headline and photo are hilarious. It sounds as if Biden has brought bad looks to the primaries.

Biden’s legislative legacy includes the implementation of excessive prison sentences that disproportionately impacted hundreds of thousands of black Americans. Minorities will not turn out for him.

There’s no doubt that minorities, particularly Black Americans have a bad taste in their mouths when they think of Biden, he destroyed a lot of lives. He also reached out to Anita Hill to apologize for how he treated her and she turned down his apology and to make matters worse, Biden doesn’t really look as if he wants this, he doesn’t have the fire nor the desire. Even Al Gore showed more enthusiasm when he was running.

Best laugh of the day - Trumpers analyzing Biden and his support from minorities and women...
That's like Trump analyzing marital fidelity and hair styles...

Yes, Biden has his John Hancock on bills that destroyed a lot of Black lives, Anita Hill included. The Biden pummeling is about to begin.

Elizabeth Warren may not be as charismatic as some of the other candidates but she's got a firm grasp on what's going on, what's wrong, and how to fix it.

If Democratic voters think the 3rd time's the charm and pick Biden, so be it. I would hope that the energy in the party has shifted a good deal over the past few years and that it favors the Bernie-Warren wing. Beto, Pete and Biden are all status quo figures who, like Clinton, seem to think things were just peachy up until January 2017.
There was enormous anti-establishment feeling in the country long before Trump took office. Let's not forget that the media and both parties thought it best that we have another Bush-Clinton election. That it took a deranged idiot like Trump to dislodge that dynamic is extremely sad. However, if it means that in the long run people stop electing neoliberal technocrats working on behalf of Wall Street and the arms industry, it might have been worth it.

The woman can’t even fix her lies about her ancestry let alone the country.

You know, I actually fully agree with you for once.
Well, that didn't last long . . .

There was a time when I would have supported Biden, but that time is gone. America is a different country now, and Biden unfortunately is past his prime and relevance. I can forgive him his past mistakes, as he himself has admitted to them, but Biden just doesn't bring anything new to the table.
Warren is the smartest candidate at the moment, and offers the most specific policy proposals. All the Trumpsters can hang on her is the infantile "Pocahontas" thing.

That statement is vexing as much as it is perplexing.
Now I know you didn’t say that with a straight face, right? Come on....
Which Pretty much ruined her. She’s toast. She’ll never get the keys to the WH.

It was a very dodgy one.
Is honesty that important to you?
bass4funk
Sure, but not when the messaging is coming from her.
And over 200 accomplished.
The Dems don’t and won’t help to close the border and they won’t and are not interested in bringing down premiums, the ACA isn’t even close to being affordable.
Increased national debt by ¥2 trillion. Does he have anything new.
Well, that’s your personal opinion.
Then they can’t get in and work. I know it’s Saturday, but.....
Lizzy will never be President.

From who? A serial liar and con-man, with the understanding of a fifth grader, who is currently named as an un-indicted co-conspirator in a felony - who is also so senile he thinks his father was born in Germany?
Jimizo
That makes no sense. The question is if honesty is important.
The question about whether honesty is important shouldn’t involve partisan politics.

The headline and photo are hilarious.
As much as I am sooo not going to vote for Biden, this headline is horrible, it implies Biden is horrible.
"For numerous reasons, Joe Biden is the least electable Democrat that we could possibly nominate,"
There are so many Democrat candidates that are unelectable against Trump, it's hard to say which one would be the least unelectable, but it sure ain't Biden.
Some of Biden's liberal attackers indicated they would support him over Trump should Biden win the nomination
So the other liberal attackers would vote for who?
