      This is very interesting for understanding Biden's genuine appeal to voters is rooted in his personal story.https://twitter.com/PoliticoScott/status/1134095583898165250 …

      Im not sure the political world, which knows Biden for many other things, fully gets this. He wasn’t particularly popular for most of Obama admin. Views shifted dramatically after his son died (via HuffPost), maybe out of sense of connection described here https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/30/us/politics/joe-biden-beau-biden-death.html … pic.twitter.com/XEZPVJ9lt8

      This piece by @blauwsteen gets at this crucial aspect of Biden's political identity: the man of suffering who can relate to the others in grief. A brilliant piece.https://newrepublic.com/article/153910/joe-biden-audacity-grief …

          I'm not a big fan of Biden as a candidate for president generally, but it's true, his ability to relate to others in grief is appealing, especially in contrast to @realDonaldTrump, who has zero compassion and empathy.

          « Biden was, and in some weird way remains, a boy eager to be included in the conversations of older men. » Exactly.

          Does this apply to the communities devastated by his 1994 crime bill? Or to Anita Hill? Or to the women and girls whose personal space he's completely ignored for years? Does his compassion extend to the left flank he's destined to lose?

          This aspect of his character is very impressive to people when they learn of it (and what those on political twitter forget is most Americans really do not have a political ideology and don't know what words like noelibralism or populism mean).

          I feel the same way about Genghis Khan, once you know his charming personal story your on board all the way, you see the nobility and majesty of his purpose and you realize there was a reason he was admired, considering what he did to the people who didn't admire him.
