But posting here at least allows that to be pointed out. My question, why hasn't he been standing with them?

What goes on in his head that, with even the biggest, most important shared issues, he must always present himself as the only person of principle in the Democratic senate and house caucuses combined? I pay him the respect of accepting that he believes this, strange of him as it is, but it's bad for our nation.

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