I was sad for a lot of reasons when former Vice President Joe Biden emerged as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
I had supported Elizabeth Warren and would have enthusiastically voted for Bernie Sanders. They have big ideas, passion and an unquestionable commitment to making life better for working people. Biden feels like a page from the past.
But OK.
Democratic voters are angry, exhausted and appalled by the presidency of Donald Trump. As the primaries wore on, they sought refuge in the comfortable, the familiar. They wanted a return to sanity, not a revolution. Like an old slipper, Biden felt just right to a lot of voters.
Unfortunately, the world soon went into shutdown mode, and took the American presidential campaign with it. Biden virtually disappeared.
And then Tara Reade stepped forward to claim that Biden sexually assaulted her nearly 30 years ago when she was a low-level staffer in his Senate office, and suddenly Biden was back in the spotlight, though not for reasons any candidate would desire.
And now he is fending off a terrible accusation, which he has handled with something approaching grace, if not full transparency.
He's not perfect, but he's not Donald Trump. If Biden is elected, he will surely begin to mend this broken country, renew our standing in the world, stop the demonization of immigrants, expand access to healthcare, appoint judges who put people over corporations and try to save us all from climate change.
Which, at this particular moment in history, is good enough for me.

That is understandable considering the stream of lies the news media feeds them about the President. And instead of "news," the media actually feeds them "opinion" wrapped like "news."
Repeal the 19th.
That’s right Robin.
What the Libtards need is an old geezer with dementia, that’s been in DC for 50 years, groping every girl he gets close to.
It’s pure genius.
For Democrats, the question isn’t whether Biden is better than Trump. It’s whether Biden is better than the runner-up - Sanders.
This is why it’s so important that you believe the Constitution to be a ‘living document’.
The rules must be changeable so as to protect the Left and punish its enemies.
“Repeal the 19th.”
Ratified 100 years ago this August. 100 years of damage done. Men used to know womens’ realities:

She brave...of course Slo Joe finger didn’t stick it to her.
So they nominate and support everything they claim to hate, an old white guy.
They have big ideas, passion and an unquestionable commitment to making life better for working people.
Puke fest from a puke, if her daughter was molested by a creep such as jo biden would she still feel the same?
sick of these pompus fools
AP Admits Not Reporting, Deleting Tara Reade 2019 Interview Detailing Charges Against Joe Biden
Biden could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and his base would still vote for him.
Ann Coulter: “If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president”
Locker room talk bad, if the accused is Republican.
Rape accusations ok, if the accused is Democrat.
Got it.
Now can we repeal 19?
Isn’t it funny they were upset about something Trump said in a private conversation but are not upset that Biden actually did what Trump said powerful men could do?
The author is a Democrat and so when it comes to bad behavior by a fellow Democrat all is forgiven.
Her use of the word ‘infinitely’ in the title is distracting.
Do dems see Joe’s mental decline?
