      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 think you misunderstand incrementalism my friend. Particularly as it pertains to mass incarceration.

          If you are at a job for forty years, its only human to make a few mistakes. But has he done great thing? YES. Did he support legislation that had unintended consequences, YES. He was a Senator. He didn't do it with executive power, meaning majority of the Senate agreed with him.

          He recognizes what he could have done better & owns up to it. Do will have that in the Oval atm. You have the clout on SM to present an open dialogue about the past and how to shape the future. Don't spread animosity towards ANY Dem candidate please. Ousting Trump is key.
