    With that said, I believe Joe Biden is the most conservative & problematic candidate now officially in the race. In the 70s he fought against integration. In the 80s & 90s he fought harder for mass incarceration than any single Democrat. In the 2000s he voted for the Iraq War.

        The best years of Joe Biden's political career were the 8 years he spent as Vice President of the United States. And that's mainly because he didn't get to set the agenda himself. When he sets the agenda - it has consistently been for more war & more jail. Period.

        When I survey Biden's political career, I find it deeply problematic that he has to start out with an extensive apology for being wrong on some of the most important votes of the past 40 years. And that we have to believe those wrong votes don't actually represent him.

        Here's Joe's pitch. Listen, I know I was wrong on integration, mass incarceration, Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas, and the Iraq War - but I'm from Scranton, have folksy charm, and Obama likes me. Therefore trust me on the things I've been wrong about my whole political career.

        I am disturbed by anyone who says some version of "Let's not talk about the political voting records and stances of the candidates." The single GREATEST indication of what you will fight for (or against) tomorrow is what you fought for (or against) before you ran for office.

        My sincere prediction about Biden's campaign is this: 1. He will avoid specifics like the plague because he's basically against every major progressive policy out right now. 2. He will avoid interviews & Q&A's not just to limit gaffes, but to avoid answering all hard questions

        With his hires of Greg Schultz as Campaign Manager, Kate Bedingfield as Communications Director & Deputy Campaign Manager, and Pete Kavanaugh as Deputy Campaign Manager... Joe Biden broke the mold of other leading Democratic campaigns and hired 3 white people to run the show.

        Here we go again with you and the process of ripping the Democrat Party apart if you are a independent be independent but Bernie Sanders policies I'm giving everything free is not going to help our community. Unless its Bernie you just going to rip them apart and re-elect Trump

        Biden was a powerful Senator for decades and he did things that hurt the black community. That's not opinion. It's in the record. Not saying the truth doesn't make it disappear. This process is going to involve some critical examination of candidates' records.

        One by one, a takedown of any candidate not named Bernie Sanders. There is a reason I would only support Sanders if he's the eventual nominee. He's my second to last choice. Because you can't and won't make the choice about him.

        Heck, 26% of Bernie supporters say that they would vote for Trump if Elizabeth Warren got the nomination, despite the fact that they’re pretty much aligned policy-wise. Just goes to show how entrenched they are in the “Bernie or Bust” mentality.

        That's not a "Bernie or Bust" mentality. That sounds like they don't actually support Bernie's policies. If we have people who two elections in a row refuse to vote for a woman in the absence of Bernie, I think we have pretty damn clear pattern of behavior.

        So 74% of his supporters would vote for Warren... That seems pretty effing high to me. Compare that to the who would vote for Warren out of the supporters of the rest of the white male canidates in the field and tell me who you find... 🙄
