Biden my time

A problematic contender?

Joe Biden announced his candidacy for the Presidency today, and while I will most assuredly support him should he win the Democratic nomination, Tulsi Gabbard and Seth Moulton are probably the only two candidates in the race (so far) that I have less enthusiasm for.  It could all be for naught, as well, as Biden has run for the Presidency twice before and failed miserably both times.

The Trump campaign has said that the candidate they fear will be their toughest foe is Joe Biden.  Campaigns do not tell voters who they fear--they tell voters who they would most like to face.  My guess is that Trump fears Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris a lot more than Biden because they're both smarter, tougher, and stronger than Trump could ever be.

The reason the Trump campaign wants to run against Joe Biden is because if Biden is the nominee, the election won't be about Donald Trump, it will be about how many times Joe Biden puts his foot in his mouth (quite often will be my guess), and Biden's inappropriate touching of women (keep in mind that the media only cares about Democrats' sexual harassment of women--republicans, because they are neanderthals, one supposes, get a free pass.  Don't believe me?  See also, Trump, Donald and Kavanaugh, Brett).

One hopes that voters in the early primaries will find a candidate more conducive to a Democratic victory for the White House in 2020, but I fear if we choose Biden we will fuck up what should be an unfuckable path to that victory.

Fuck Donald Trump,
