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.

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

Agree with you about Biden. But I'd love to see you point out all that is problematic with Bernie as well. And Bernie *is* problematic.

Did he ever actually apologize tho? Saying “I was wrong” is NOT an apology.

There are enough other quality candidates that we don’t need a problematic white man as a distraction. Loved “uncle joe” but just no.

We need leaders guided by principle, ready to respond to emerging issues. Being wrong on a litany of obvious moral choices in the past suggests weak moral leadership going forward.

Get over it. There is never going to be a career legislator that anyone agrees with or preforms to your own approval 100% of the time. Thats democracy. There is now no one more experienced, more knowledgeable, more informed, more aware, more savvy & more capable. Feel that bern!
