I mean, it'll probably be like Biden / O'Rourke or Biden / Harris or something.
I'm hoping his touchy feely ness is disqualifying. Which it should be. And would also really show off the disparity between the two parties where one disqualifies a candidate for being disrespectful of personal space (not trying to downplay that, it's important) vs the other party that elects the candidate with more than a dozen accusations of sexual impropriety.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Nah, the Democrats have learned their lesson from 2016 of going with the establishment figure who has waited his turn.

I would be thrilled for it to be Sanders or Warren to be honest. My main qualm about Sanders is that he's old. But otherwise they are so much better than the usual offering from the Dems.

Co-signed. Both of them are a compromise to my values, but they’re the least compromise.

I know why, of course, it's their respective policies. But I don't see why Biden's age isn't coming up like Bernie's. They would have graduated high school the same year. They were both alive for Pearl Harbour.

For some weird and totally not self-interested reason, Joe Biden called Anita Hill to apologize. She properly told him to go fuck himself.

I thought this was an Onion article: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/m ... ssion=true

On the plus side, Mayor Pete now enjoys the support of both Doc and revbob.

He didn't pick OKC, so, no, he's lost my (hypothetical) vote. I'm waiting for a candidate who says Swans' Children of God or To Be Kind changed their life. (For the worse would also be acceptable.)
