it wasn't even that biden was their only chance at stopping bernie. biden was in a distant 4th place! any of the assholes in the dem primary could have gotten similar results after the rest were made to drop out and the machine devoted all its resources to a single candidate. biden was obama's choice, likely because of obama's usual egomania.

it's this. Obama needed someone to salvage his legacy, so people can look at him and look at Joe and go "Hey, that's the guy Obama picked! And he fixed* all of the stuff Trump did! Huh, it all worked out." Joe being mentally enfeebled and much easier for Obama to sway was probably a calculation, in addition to Joe's associations with Obama that made him easier for conservative, neoliberal black machine politicians to get him over the finish line.

It's also that their only other options at that point were Pete, Liz and Amy. Even without Obama's thumb on the scale it seems unlikely that the power brokers were willing to go all in on any of them for a variety of reasons. Biden really was the best they could do, which is really sad and pathetic

Yeah I never got the impression that "they" wanted Biden, which was why Obama didn't want him to run and there was little momentum behind him at the start. He was just at the intersection of acceptable and electable when they needed to blunt the Sanders' campaign's lead.

yeah, they never coalesced around anyone until it was Biden or nobody, because all of the other Dems still in the race had bases of support that were heavily concentrated among white PMC-types & and they didn't have any big wins coming up that could be leveraged by a media blitz going into Super Tuesday

like, as influential as he was, imagine how Clyburn trying to sell everyone in SC on Pete (or Liz or Amy) would have gone

The fundamental conflict in the Biden administration is going to be between the mostly PMC white Obama and Clinton people on the one hand and the black political establishment which thought crowning Joe would give them way more leverage. If that video where Biden was yelling at black political leaders is going to be any indication of the battle moving forward, Biden is in serious loving trouble come 2022 and especially 2024.

Biden was just the only vector left for them to get the already agreed upon Kamala.
