Biden to jump into race for POTUS

[shanny]

23. I luv Joe...but he is the past.

It is not his age, it is that the nation and the party have moved on. There's Anita Hill, which resonates very strongly and negatively now with Barf Kavanaugh on the Court. There's Bill Clinton's soul-destroying crime bill, which he supported. There's the truly awful bankruptcy bill, which looks horrific and corporatist in the face of stagnant wages, soaring debt and a generation that is worse off than their parents. All the fire, and energy, on our side of the aisle is coming from people Biden's past positions have hurt. (and remember that when he has run on his own he has gotten nowhere).

The Obama years were an era of attempted bipartisanship and reaching across the aisle. It didn't work, we are not going back there, we are in the fight for our lives and the planet and Joe just isn't the guy. We can't just try to turn back the clock and return to those years. Those years weren't working! for too many. And Biden, fairly or unfairly, represents that time.

If he's in for another stint as VP, I'm all for it; he did a good job. If he's in as a surrogate and happy warrior supporting our nominee and trashing theirs, bring it on. But not at the top of the ticket. His time is past (and we wouldn't even be considering him were it not for the veep years.)

My two cents.
