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

109. Mine isn't until April 4th so I feel you.

… by the time it gets around to Louisiana, which will almost certainly be red anyway, I don't get much of a voice.

As for your OP, I have many reasons I like Biden, though I have many reasons I like every candidate but Bernie and I even like a little bit about him as well.

But my main reason for picking Biden after Buttigieg wasn't an option is that he gave me my marriage. Yeah, it was by sticking his foot in Obama's mouth and speaking out of turn but I don't care. Joe had a huge amount to do with that pivotal shift regardless of how the Bros want to paint his 1996 DOMA vote. I applaud Bernie for always having a pro gay marriage position but Joe actually got something done.

Referencing that same event and many others, I also like that Joe doesn't always stick to the script. His occasional wildcard behavior will make it difficult for folks to always know what to expect.

He wasn't my first choice and I'd be happy with Warren for other reasons, but I think he will bring the kids of respect back to the office that Obama gave it (and Trump, Bush and, sadly, Clinton didn't). I've had so many negative experiences with Bernie supporters on social media, many, many of whom are clearly not bots (as if it's that hard to tell the difference! LOL). Heck, people on my Facebook accused David Sirota, Briahna Joy Gray, and Nina Turner of being bots. Seriously. While I think the Magas versus the Bros might make for an entertaining election, I think the overall impact to the discourse will be even worse than what we have now because we'll be playing right into Trump's lowering of the bar.
