      What Democrats are basically telling me is that I should ignore Biden's worst stances from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000's and instead only see him through Obama colored glasses. We are basically supposed to view and grade Biden through the emotional lens of Obama's love of him.

      I know Joe Biden was the primary architect of mass incarceration, that he fought like hell for it, and defended it for years. I know it impacted millions of people & those laws are still in effect today. But listen, Obama fucking loves this guy, and really, that's what matters.

      I call it the Obama Curve. It's when you have been blessed by Obama in some way, particularly having served with him in office, your demonstrated political views & history don't actually get graded & scored on their own merit, but get scored on a favorable Obama Curve.

      It's wild to me that ANYONE thinks it's strange that a lifelong justice reform advocate would find being THE MODERN ARCHITECT OF MASS INCARCERATION disqualifying. Here's what I know - if Mitch McConnell was the architect of mass incarceration you'd never hear the end of it.

          even if we are able to forget his Pre Obama past, his current stance is trash. In 2019 he’s been dismissive of: campaigning in communities of color, women, millennials, and claimant change. He’s been 💯 there for corporate funds and he consistently supports gop candidates

          If I may chime in. Biden is supposedly the most admired by people of color. Why? He isn’t for legalizing cannabis which would immediately stop part of the disparity between whites, blacks, the police and weed. Not for legalizing is a deal breaker. Don’t forget his plagiarism.

          Beyond all of the above, @JoeBiden spoke these words in Dubuque Iowa just a couple weeks back. This is his *current* POV. Clearly, he has no appreciation for how the Republican party is enabling 45 (and weakening our democratic institutions in the process).pic.twitter.com/StnfTxZAMA

          And, clearly, @JoeBiden is *still* willing to do "bipartisan deals" with extremist Republicans. This doesn't bode well for *any* policy he'd work on with them (including justice policy).

          If any other candidate voted like Biden did on Roe v Wade, he'd be at the bottom of the pack. I'm trying to figure why "Democrats" let this slide, especially with today's abortion fights in Georgia, etc.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/29/us/politics/biden-abortion-rights.html#click=https://t.co/LgLjZUlhka …

          Yeah, he'll just yell SOCIALISM, that will work. This ain't the 80s or even 08. Young people will not vote for Biden, and they don't watch CNN.

          If Ted Cruz took time off from the Senate, made millions giving speeches to special interests, then ran for president claiming they would reign in those very industries, we would think that was bullshit.

          Question for you? If Biden is the nominee, will you support the ticket?

          First debates haven't even happened yet. My thought is let's see how ALL of the candidates do on all the important issues and the rally behind that candidate. That is important. We ended up where we are now because we couldn't get be had the party nominee. Let's not do that again

          Biden definitely has his faults, which are why I'm not supporting him in the primary. However, if he's the nominee, he's 1000% better than the current occupant of the White House.
