In reply to the discussion: Shut the front door! - young Dems now like Biden more than Bernie [View all]FoxNewsSucks
(10,423 posts)15. Now if we could only get people to stop
bashing independents who work harder for democratic principles than some Democrats, and realize that it isn't all cynicism. Maybe we'll see an end to sharp-stick poking. It certainly serves no useful purpose.
Biden is popular because he's doing good and it is realized. It is a very pleasant surprise, and shouldn't be used to be dismissive of some groups of liberals I doubt that same high level of popularity would be there if he had followed a "third-way" or "centrist" policy. .
Let's be glad that we have a decent person in office who is willing to work his ass off for Americans. Those who want to antagonize someone should redirect that toward the Democrat who relishes publicly standing in our way.
