13370344, I still think the best call was for neither to run

Biden aint it. He's surging right now because he actually put up a W and Obama clearly made some calls for folks to drop out.

Oh and Bloomberg popped up and said "look how terrible it actually can be!"

But the idea of Biden is a lot more comforting than actual Joe. Because of shit like this.

Not only does he have 30+ years of baggage, but something is clearly not right with him.

Also, I personally think the best bet to win the white house these days is to run an outsider.

The moderate/Obama mantle should have gone to someone else.

I think the party is going to regret going all in on him so early- probably at all.

I'm sorry, but same with Bernie. Bernie can't really effectively run as an outsider having been in Congress for 30 years.


And, fair or not, a lot of people (voters too) in the party do not like Bernie.

He's also old, and is starting to look tired AF.


The better progressive bet would have been for him to throw his movement's weight behind Warren or hell Tina Turner or someone.


Basically, right now I wish it was Castro or Booker or Kamala vs Warren or Turner or Gillum or someone like Ro Khanna or some shit.


Younger/more diverse blood with less baggage running on the same messages would make me feel a lot better.


I really wish both had sat out. Ego, stubbornness, and misplaced loyalty are going to sink the Dems again.
