Same. I’ve always said I will vote for whichever of the two of them has the clearest path to the nomination when the IL election rolls around and that’s still@my position. But none of the other candidates are on the table for me personally.

The reason Biden is still on my list is because he lacks the strong Internet harasser base and also because his whole "let's just continue the Obama status quo" is a better outcome for me personally than an economic-left victory that leaves trans ppl behind

He will not continue the Obama status quo is the thing. He keeps praising Republicans and talking about how we need more good ones and the “fever will break” and he’ll succeed in working with them where Obama failed. He’s a regression from Obama not a continuation.

Yeah, I'd trust him further than Pete or Bloomberg, but Biden really seems intent on bringing back the most naive aspects of the Obama administration. I personally wouldn't trust him to be ABLE to deliver on what he promises, even when he doesn't intentionally compromise

At what point can we also bring up that Biden seems to be personally losing his mind

Can we bring up the fact that if Biden or Sanders were to be elected they would immediately be the oldest President in US history

Hasn't this unfortunately been the trend? Like wasn't Trump also that?

Trump was the oldest President *when elected* (edging out Reagan by a few months, who was also elected at the age of 70) Biden and Sanders would both be *older than Reagan when he left office at the time of their inauguration* (he was 78, they will be 79)

Elizabeth Warren would be following the trend (she will be 71 in Jan 2021) Sanders and Biden are leapfrogging it If you expect Sanders to serve out two terms that means he's leaving office when he's *87 years old*, several years longer than most people live

I remember back in 2017 my only stated preference for 2020 was "no more septuagenarians plz" and here we are today with only Mayor Pete viable in that category so the ol monkey's paw got me again

Yes, for humorous juxtaposition if Mayor Pete actually wins he will be the youngest President in US history by a wide margin (he'll be 38, Teddy Roosevelt was 42)
