He has actual charisma which is a fundamental requirement for a successful candidate, and he's not an obviously horrible person

he's still not a progressive though and the nation is going to keep spiraling into chaos until we get an actual progressive implementing actual social welfare policy expansions.

His everyman affability was turned into an internet meme by the Onion, and now people think it's real. If he runs and people shine a spotlight on him and his actual views and policy background, it's not going to work out well for him. He's a Drug War and Tough on Crime guy. His best move is to maintain the Uncle Joe persona and ride into the sunset.

Considering Trump having a stroke or other public health issues over the next four years is about a 1000% more likely than him being impeached, I feel like there is going to be a deeper scrutiny to older candidates that would be tough for Biden, Sanders, and even Warren.

Maybe it's about the robot. Maybe it possesses sapience and is already traumatized by the fact that its outward appearance was radically altered to fit someone else's agenda, and now its receiving verbal abuse for crimes it didn't commit.

I don't think Biden could make it out of a debate without some comment about how great the rich are or about downplaying our national health care emergency. He's a legacy hard right Democrat (and responsible for asset forfeiture and drug war bullshit) and may win but would be a disastrous president after Trump when we need to rebuild and pull the country towards the center (and preferably to the left of that nebulous center) from the severe right we are at now.

I don't think you're actually familiar with Joe Biden at all. There are a whole host of reasons to not want him to run, being worried that he'll suck off the rich in a debate while downplaying the state of our health crisis is just after the fear he'll go on a rant about how much corvettes suck. Dude is responsible for some real poo poo and hold some bad opinions, but he is under no reasonable examination a hard right Democrat.

It should be remembered that he has run already, several times. He runs a campaign focused on Foreign Policy, is folksy as all gently caress, does well in debates, and then finds a way to gently caress it all up by saying or doing something which is exceedingly bad optically but which he clearly didn't mean that way. He'll never win a primary because he actually is a gaffe machine, and if that doesn't somehow cause his downfall this time it'll be his financial and crime legislation. In 2008 he was on the left end of the field in statements, outside of gaffes, and none of the other candidates even had to bring up his Democratic Candidate disqualifying actions in the Senate because the dude just didn't poll well enough.

Joe Biden could provide a useful roll in the 2020 nomination, likely playing the same role he did in 2008. A decent debate test for the candidates with a real chance and as a rural white people whisperer. He'll highlight Foreign Policy goals for everyone else and domestic policy will be down the middle Democratic things like raising the cap on Social Security Taxes, improving Healthcare, and other such things.

Every candidate that can win has warts. A perfect candidate on either side is insulated in their little homogeneous Congressional district and doesn't have to appeal to the wide range of voters needed to win a national election. Now I don't want Biden to run because I think his last opportunity was 2016 and it was Her Turn, but he's a very good candidate in that he is affable, empathetic to the average voter, can delegate authority, and knows how the country is run.

Biden has all kinds of voting history problems, but he would have been the best candidate in 2016 and is probably on the 80% percentile for 2020.

I don't know how anybody takes this poo poo seriously as a major news outlet as opposed to like some sort of ranting tabloid paper. Like I'll never get the just hurl insults, epitaphs, lies, and labels as fast as possible to see what sticks and who gets offended approach to politics and political opinion that the United States finds itself in the last couple years. It just feels too much like the domain of forum trolls as opposed to high office or media. If I came into this situation being completely oblivious to the state of U.S politics for the last 25 or so years especially I'd be immediately suspicious of the supposed just right wing and terrible awful "libtards" narrative simply based on the insult hurling that makes the one side look rock stupid and probably instantly sympathize with if not be driven right into the "left's" camp when I found out they tend not to do the insult hurling and blithering all the goddamn time. Perhaps we're well into the supposed Koch paid blitz of propaganda already I don't know but even if I did somehow identify with right wing politics I'd find the constant blithering yet political setbacks where it counts only to blither some more loving exhausting.
