The Pennsylvania Democrat recalled his time serving as a Hillary Clinton surrogate in 2016, even after he supported Bernie Sanders in the primary.

      They specifically admitted to it in the 2016 race. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz got some heat for it. Then in the 2020 race Biden was at the bottom of the primaries then suddenly Clyburn endorsed him and everyone else dropped out. Biden did not win with voter approval; he won with trump disapproval. It will always be a tainted win for a guy who openly championed right wing ideas and who lost three previous attempts to run.

        Biden “openly championed right wing ideas”? When, in the fucking 90s? And absolutely nothing happened in the years since.

        Completely ignore that he’s the most progressive president we’ve had since FDR. Or LBJ at the very least.

          He had been in favor of abolishing social safety nets all the way up until he was picked by Obama. He was picked as a sympathetic vote for conservatives, as most VPs are. Biden was not picked for his progressive record.

        Would you be considered good at math? Im asking because the “math” that people have used to prove Sanders “won” is really flawed.

        Biden polled better vs Trump and many stepped aside rather than risk a dictatorship in the USA.

        As an aside your notion of “right wing” is either historically inaccurate or you are being inappropriately eurocentric in your views.

          So what do you call America conservatives who have successfulky encouraged violence against other cirizens, consistently lied on every policy position, taken control of all broadcast airwaves, and are desperately trying to re-elect a failure and a criminal?
