hubris of the Democrats for causing the republicans to reject climate change:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/03/us/politics/republican-leaders-climate-change.html

Or their hiring of climate change denier Bret Stephens

or their shallow reporting regarding the Russian involvement in our election:

Yeah, the wonderful NY Times, and their pattern of setting up false equivalencies between republicans and Democrats:

they put a video by Mark Scheffle and Shane O'Neill telling us how both republicans and Democrats have flip-flopped on Comey. It was so out of context it was pathetic.

They did the same thing when one of the Democrats on the FEC stepped down, building the false equivalency argument how there is deadlock because both sides won't budge. That was NOT the case at all, and was a gross distortion again.

In fact, that report was so messed up, that the Democrat who resign from the commission wrote a rebuttal to state the reality of the situation:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/20/opinion/dysfunction-and-deadlock-at-the-federal-election-commission.html

They played the false equivalency game big time in 2016, and made sure that when Comey released the letter to the republicans in Congress they reported it as "The email investigation was being reopened", which was a LIE, but they were following the other outlets.

The NY Times is not what it used to be, and their hiring a while back of reporters from Politico didn't help their reporting

The actual question should be where does Biden stand today on abortion. That they decide to inject something from 1980 smells more of typical flame baiting to create a horse race scenario because they know damn well he supports Roe

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
