Strange to see you, of all people, saying that. Biden of the '80s would have been much more corporatist and neoliberal than Biden of the 2020s, and therefore way worse despite being in his prime, age-wise.
Saying what?
Isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.
But back in the 80s it wasn't even debatable, Biden was the best public speaker of his generation.
And yeah, he was/is a neoliberal, but he'd have been pretty indistinguishable from Bill. And back then his whole "work with Republicans, not against them" schtick had a chance of working.
Bidens time was decades ago. Doesn't mean he was perfect back then. But I don't think he's changed much, you seem to think he has.
A Biden presidency probably would have been better than a Reagan one.
Random, but when was Hillary’s time?
When she'd have had her best bet?
Right after Bill's second term.
You might not remember, but they ran as a "two for one". He had the charisma and she (supposedly) was the policy expert.
So logically her best shot was right after him, and she probably would have ran if not for the Lewinsky stuff. I think that's what made her pause, then didn't want to run against GW after 9/11.
So she got bumped all the way to 08, Obama happened, so we got stuck with her clogging shit up they the 2016 election.
Honestly probably the best answer. I was JAQing off, but kinda wanted your opinion if you were legit. And yeah I think I’d have to agree, although you’re also right in that I can only gleam those facts from reading
