      1. It increasingly feels like Biden, if he's the Democratic nominee, will be Hilary Clinton 2.0, but worse. A campaign based on personal revulsion against Trump, nostalgia for normal politics, & outreach to moderate Republicans.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1124667509242777600 …

      Joe Biden says the Trump presidency is an aberration, and that he doesn't represent the Republican Party. Some Democrats think that is naive. https://nyti.ms/2H0fZd1

      2. Biden is Hilary Clinton but worse. Clinton generated real enthusiasm as a pioneering woman. Also Clinton made some efforts, admittedly awkward (hot sauce!) to reach the young. Biden's message is people under 40 need to fuck off & die. https://twitter.com/IbrahimAS97/status/1124116716169113601 …

      3. Both Clinton (with her alt-right speech) & Biden (invoking Charlottesville in announcing his campaign) had campaigns using rhetorical anti-racism as glue to hold together Democratic coalition. This type of performative wokeness is, alas, of limited electoral utility.

      Calling out neo-nazis (aka 'performative wokeness') is bad now....but from the left.

      White candidate who supported mass incarceration, scare-mongered on bussing and slimed Anita Hill suddenly adopting anti-racist, anti-sexist language is performative wokeness.

          i'm not really defending biden, but i think it's bullshit when Clinton made anti-racism one of the core tenets of her campaign and was widely mocked for it by the 'i'm more woke & principled than you' set.

          Jeet has opinions! Not sure where Jeet gets the idea that his opinions have any sophisticated abstract thought behind them but, he indeed has opinions. Maybe it's bcs he's a BernieBro and his opinions all serve the idea Bernie should be pres. Talk about "performative wokeness".

          They voted for Obama. Nobody outside of Delaware has ever voted for Biden.

          Biden wrote the crime bill. Remember how Hillary got battered for helping to push it/her husband signing it? That x20. "superpredators" x100.

          Do you say the same for the man who wrote about how women secretly desire to be raped?

          So I'm sure you'll be saying the same thing about Bernie Sanders who voted for 94 crime bill and has frequent appearances with Killer Mike, right?

          Bernie voted for crime bill. As did most dems at time. The idea that evolution is discounted as performative is so utterly absurd on its face.
