      my hottest take right now is that i think joe biden is wildly overrated as a 2020 presidential contender

      As you know better than I from the history, Biden will certainly face the same ambivalence among young poc HRC ran into, with fewer positives on the other side of the ledger.

      This is exactly right. Biden has almost all of HRC's liabilities and few of her positives.

          That is ludicrous. Biden does not have the Clinton drama stink all over him. None of Bill’s womanizing, or the foundation stuff and especially her emails. How is he got HRC’s problems!

          Biden has a terrible record. Numerous bills he voted for or actually has his name on it that runs directly counter to progressives and civil rights. There's a good sense of a MeToo moment just waiting to happen. Anita Hill debacle. Other than decorum, Trump can hit Biden back.

          I'm not a fan of a Biden 2020 bid, but he's not plagued by scandal and dishonesty like Hillary. That's a big plus.

          there's going to be a lot of energy dedicated to checking out his overzealous back rubs too, and i don't think we're going to love what we discover. best way to avoid this ish: nominate harris or klobuchar. biden's run ten billion times and never gotten the nom.

          And the negatives have more substance/legislation to point to. For all the laissez-faire complaints about Hillary, it was hard to point to much substantive negatives specifically, eg. the bankruptcy bill was one of the few. Not sure why Biden can foresee it.

          Madness. He is a good communicator she is a poor one. His familial connections evoke service and tragedy hers evoke self dealing and nefariousness (fairly or not). I think you’re leaning heavily on the crime bill, which progressive pundits overstate as “baggage”.

          What if you pair Biden with a young POC AND have Biden pledge to only serve one term?

          That is how things should work in a sane world. But Biden’s unfavorables are really really low, despite his policy being nearly identical to Clinton’s. 2016’s lesson should be that people don’t vote on policy at all!
