Ok. So sell me. What does Biden stand for?

[NY06DemSoc]

93. OP here. I wish this thread had gone better

I got a lot of the usual non-platform based replies.

He's a Democrat.
He's going to put things back the way they were.
He will restore honor and dignity.
He'll get black votes because he has a black friend (President Obama.)
He's not evil Bernie (honeymoon or not a dem or whatever)
Downballot dems will benefit.

Maybe I was hoping too much. I kind of figured there was something more specific and less generic or anti someone else. Maybe DU isn't the place for that sort of thing at this point.

Like if I'm going out into PA to canvas for the Democratic candidate. What am I going to tell these people that Biden is for? The people who decided not to vote for Hillary because she was offering more of the same and took a chance on Trump instead. I can't agree with their decision but what am I going to tell them is better about Joe?

While I know I'll vote blue no matter who, it's the rest of the electorate that I wonder about. What is it about Biden that is going to sell people on pulling the lever for him in November?

The bits of specifics I did see. Ones that aren't necessarily common to all the other candidates (return to rule of law, voter protection, non-corrupt scandal laden Trumpery, fix all the stuff Trump has broken.)

15K tax credit on new home purchases.
$15 minimum wage
Gun control legislation
Expanding Obmacare

The ones I have doubts about:

Better supreme court justices: He gave us Clarence Thomas and brutalized Anita Hill in the hearing. Sure that was a long time ago, but Clarence and Ginny Thomas are still causing havoc today. Maybe he's learned to trust women when they say they've been victimized by powerful men. I'm just not clear that he has.

Ok, carry-on with your abuse of my post.
