My Primary Vote? Joe Biden of course!
If we had a competitive Democratic primary, it's Joe Biden hands down
Four years ago Joe Biden was not my top choice (Elizabeth Warren was). I don’t think he was even in my top 10.
When he got the nomination I supported him - strongly. Because look at the alternative. But I didn’t hold out high hopes for his term.
And then… and then… there were lots of false starts. Lots of initiatives took longer than I hoped. There were compromises. All the difficulty and anguish that goes into crafting compromises.
But out of that came some of the most impactful legislation since FDR. I’d put it as more impactful than what LBJ accomplished (although I can see arguments that say LBJ was a bit more impactful). And he did this in some of the most contentious evenly divided times.
And when he’s been this successful some people want to replace him? Who gives a shit how old he is. If he pulls off in his second term even half the stuff he’s done in his first, that’ll be amazing.
You don’t replace someone who’s doing an incredible job because of some irrelevant criteria the Republicans have cooked up.
