Why did they choose him over Bernie? Not a fan of Trump but Biden seems like a bit of a wet fish if Im honest, hard to see him beating trump.

Any particular reason hell do better than Trump?

trump barely won in 2016 and his base hasn't grown much since then. Combine that with the fact nobody can say they are taking a chance on him now(since we've seen him as president for 4 years), its pretty clear to see why biden has a good shot at winning.

So more a case of trumps fanbase dwindling as opposed to Biden actually being a stronger candidate for president?

he didnt seem to put his points across strongly enough in the debate. He moaned a bit about Trumps bs but didnt seem to call him out strongly enough in my opinion. I was looking for Biden to really put him in his place, that just didnt happen ...

Biden is not a strong candidate, definitely. Neither is trump really. But yeah, trumps base is dwindling down which helps Biden.

Biden is no prize and he seemingly stands for just towing the line but hes better than someone whose track record is the deaths of 200,000 Americans, the resulting crashing of our economy, the destruction of our countrys reputation as a world leader, boldface lies (at least most other politicians have the common sense to make plausible lies), intentional misinformation designed to undermine our democratic process.

given that a rotting corpse tied to a chair in the Oval Office along the lines of the movie weekend at Bernies with all decisions being made by coin toss would be a more reliable option than trump.

and thats not even taking into account any financial issues which, while suspected are not yet investigated enough or divulged in the public enough to fairly add to the list.

Does the average American still care about this? IIRC somebody raised the point about how hes unpresidential and damaging USAs reputation early on in his presidency and the response was that its America first so that kind of image isnt an issue anymore.

It's crazy how Biden is both a raging leftists extremist and a republican in disguise who exists to bully Bernie Sanders.

Biden is there cause more people voted for him in the primaries. If you want Bernie next time, get off your ass. But honestly America doesn't deserve him.

Also a real time fact checker (or as real
time as you can get) would be so useful in these debates to cut through all the bullshit claims these politicians make

I'm confident in my candidate tonight.
Though he has numerous sexual assault accusations, has said really questionable things, is declining in mental health, and has a terrible track record in office considering the current events going on in our world, the other candidate is evil and wants to destroy America.
My candidate will be much tougher on making sure America stays at the forefront of endless war, endless debt, and endless victimless mass incarceration.
Vote my guy. Don't throw your vote away.

Wasn't impressed with Biden, he's the best the dems can come up with?

He was probably the best candidate put forward by a good measure. There were a few promising candidates, but they got weeded out earlier in the race and Biden had the strongest record anyway.

There's also the sub-issue that Bernie's primary base are people who don't come out to the polls anyway (which is part of the reason he lost in the first place), whereas Biden is more able to bring some people to the polls who Bernie wouldn't.

FatalAccident posted...
Why did they choose him over Bernie?

Because Bernie is absolutely fucking terrible, in addition to the fact that he's only a Democrat when running for president so from a fundamental standpoint he's not somebody you'd want anyway.

FatalAccident posted...


Any particular reason hell do better than Trump?

As president or in the polls? For the polls, they just needed a politician with a solid record and some appeal to working-class Americans. Out of everybody the Democrats fielded, Biden probably appeals the most to blue-collar workers, the same workers that Hillary lost in 2016 and Bernie would have lost in 2020.

argonautweakend posted...
Biden is not a strong candidate, definitely.

He's a former VP who can tap into peoples' like for the Obama administration and has close to 50 years of political experience, including a lot of bipartisan work. Other than the fact that he's not an exciting candidate, he's a very strong candidate and probably the DNC's best bet.

Are you referring to FA's topic or Conner's post? Because there's so much ludicrous nonsense to unpack in Conner's post that one hardly knows where to begin.

The claim about "image as a world leader" is largely silly and generated by media outlets with a bias towards certain candidates. It's more than just a self-fulfilling prophecy, because the media chooses who it will support or malign. Two leaders very often do the exact same thing yet get very different reactions from the media trying to control the story.

America will never do enough terrible shit to deserve Bernie Sanders. Canada might someday, though.

The genius of this satirical remark is that it in this election it really could be leveled at either candidate >_>
