his parents were both very respected academics and his mother who he grew up with was upper middle class, he was always a suburban kid. Like I'm not gonna pretend being a black kid at that time was awesome but yea he was never some poor dude who'd be the victim of Biden's policies.

I grew up in the same neighborhood. It’s full of 60s cinder block walk up apartments. I’d call the area working class or lower middle class if you own the apartment. It is right next to the university though so you see more academics and grad students in the general area. Most significant is the private school he went to which was explicitly founded to educate the children of the missionary/plantation owner elite and had a box to check on its application to indicate if a child could trace ancestry back to a missionary family. It’s remarkably white in an area which is mostly Asian.

From what I remember when Biden was picked there was a little bit of “wait they’re going with him?”, but it was quickly overshadowed by Palin.

there were several reasons. along with geographic and demographic "balancing", biden also ran in 2008 up until iowa and the only other 'in the news' names for VP were hillary, john edwards and chris dodd, who were all unacceptable for other issues. if all the party leaders and obama himself had to choose an older white centrist there were probably worse picks out there, i guess. would be hilarious if he chose max baucus and everything else stayed the same so baucus is president now. it's not like obama would have picked russ feingold or anyone else to the left; i remember that adolph reed quote posted above

does bernie's chummy influence with biden make this administration better than a counterfactual buttigieg admin? maybe, but i feel like obama's purposefully do-nothing tenure kneecapped the left for a generation no matter what happens; the writing was on the wall from early 2009

I thought Obama was poor before he went to school, his book made it seem like he didn’t have any money growing up, but I’m not an Obama historian so I could be off base there

It's like how Lenny Bruce's act eventually was just him bitching about his legal problems. But Bruce was being prosecuted by the government for obscenity. Chappelle just discovered that some people don't like his comedy.

For me it’s that his specials just went from being 100% jokes to 75% jokes up until his latest special being maybe 40% jokes and the rest just a 50 year old millionaire explaining to an audience why his last specials were good, actually

It sucks but honestly it’s ok for someone who made good TV 20 years ago to be lame and lovely today
