      Don’t bring black people into this. Obama chose Biden as his VP twice. Also, black people were key voters in winning Georgia, cementing Biden’s victory. They obviously like him.

        I’m personally not a fan of Biden. But it’s not like we have real options to choose from.

        At least among non-white people, his approval has gone from 80% at the start of Biden’s term to 46% now. So… he was popular with certain demographics before. Now he’s not (except democrats, liberals, and postgraduates still have an approval rating above 50%). He has a higher approval rating from boomers than non-whites now.

          The thing about approval ratings is, you may dislike a solution but favor it above others. I totally understand disliking Biden but still voting for him.

          I think current polls are flawed and the people who “dislike” Biden will still vote for him. The public is fickle and enthusiasm will be determined by an event closer to the election.

          At this point in the 2008 election, Obama and Hillary were neck and neck. John Edwards was still in the race for the Democratic nomination. Of course, Biden had not yet been nominated for VP. Literally ignore everything until late September.

          Fucking vote.

      No that’s Hillary “I deserve whatever I want” Rodham Clinton

      He made the bill she used to say that but his actual idea on what made someone a “predator” was being born out of wedlock.

      … He’s not great but let’s get it right at least.
