3. THIS is why we don't need Biden now.

Feb 2019

we are at a tipping point, republic and planet. Can we save our democratic republic? Will the wealthy continue to steal it all and prevent reforms? Can we stop extraction and mass extinction of species?

Remember, trying to appeal to Republicans for a common good did not work (for Obama), it DOES NOT WORK. Sadly, but realistically, bipartisan appeal is just foolish now for Democrats. Biden should have learned that at Obama's knee. His saying this crap shows he learned nothing, and is living in a fantasy-world government.

I would line up behind Biden if he said (in effect) - "Pence is as guilty as Trump. Pence was in on all the corruption, fraud, and is a traitor as well."

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