biden is a likable guy. he did some boneheaded things prior to being VP but I think he distinguished himself as VP. I'd certainly vote for him for President. But he's like, sixth on my list of people I want in that job.

Xpost agreed

expressing enthusiasm for joe fucking biden as next dem presidential candidate = enjoy trump's next term

I like this Dame article that coined #SomeWhiteGuy2020.

O'Malley says he's out and Cuomo was probably never likely in the first place. Kaine seemingly last commented "nope" on 2020 shortly after 2016. Duckworth and Lundergan Grimes aren't really making themselves known right now and I don't know if either of them will even comment if they aren't running. The remaining 8/13 on my list are all at least in the liminal phase of running for president as we speak, though it's unclear what party banner if any Bloomberg would be running under. I'll give myself a B-.

On Maddow, @ewarren says she would pull troops out of Syria (and unprompted, Afghanistan), says the metrics of what winning could possibly look like in both places hasn't been sufficiently explained.

what i'll remember about martin omalley

Martin omalley you got a children's book ass name. You sound like the mailman in a town where everyone's a bear

hmm

voting for Biden would be 100x more depressing than voting for Hillary. at least with the latter I caught some feels about the prospect of a female president.

seems like Biden's constituency is someone's relative who didn't vote for Hillary but says they would have voted for him

biden doesn't stand a chance in the primary imo

I really REALLY hope yer right

yeah i can definitely picture a debate stage full of candidates who are a) young b) full of passion and ideas or both, and ol' Diamond Joe looking like a rickety old relic.

he's gonna drop into that hectoring, "come on" posture that was fun when he was debating joe biden, but will seem very out-of-touch when he pulls it on kamala harris or someone

*debating Paul Ryan, d'oh

or when he goes on about how billionaires are not the problem or whatever

yeah he'll get eaten alive in the primary for being out of touch on various hot button issues re: women, financial industry, foreign wars take yr pick

I'd welcome a return of Onion Biden as a heel.

otm

I sorta hate Onion Biden in retrospect for helping to build him up as anything but an old creep and sellout

right, every time i think i hate him i just imagine him installing above ground pools.

Third time's the... what's the opposite of charm?

multiple Anita Hill questions per day would not go well

Hoping Biden doesn’t become the nominee but out of the curiosity, is the “creep” thing based on the Anita Hill questioning or are we talking about stuff on the level of the right wing memes where they have freeze frames of him hugging people as evidence he’s a pedophile?

Joe Biden would beat Donald Trump for sure, but yes he would not even get nominated so...

xpost Biden needs to keep his hands to himself.

But is there actually something to that? Are we talking about normal guy hugs or normal guy hugs replayed in slow-no w menacing music?

He touches women and children like men often touched women and children because they got no say in it. Optically he looks dirty.

hmm

I don't care if he's just super affectionate. Don't grab women or children that you don't know by their sides, from behind, give them shoulder rubs, kiss their heads. Gross.

I mean, I travel a lot between countries where I have to remember 1,2, or 3 cheek kisses on greeting and Biden still gives me creep vibes.

Go on...

you first.

wasn't this a whole gawker series at one point?

Sounds like something in their wheelhouse!

Give it a rest Nerdstrom

where "it" means "breathing"

I heard once that if you pat a child’s head something happens to their soul

If you need additionally pointers, you should also not tickle them.

might as well

Bernie Sanders: I guess.
Tim Kaine: A walking dad joke.
Michael Bloomberg: Stop and frisk for all!
Andrew Cuomo: The worst. A less smart Hillary with fewer convictions and political gifts. His Dad must be so proud.
Cory Booker: Jersey Cuomo.
Kamala Harris: Impressive during Kavanaugh hearings.
Tammy Duckworth: I don’t see it.
Jay Inslee: I saw this guy on TV last night and thought he was one of the least impressive people ever.
Terry McAuliffe: Hell no.
Joe Biden: Love you Uncle Joe, but time to eat jello at the kids table.
Elizabeth Warren: I like bomb throwers; not sure she had a shot. I could get behind her I guess, but might be better in Senate.
Alison Lundergan Grimes: I think I am reasonably well-informed and I had to google her. No shot.
Martin O'Malley: He ruled himself out, lol.

Nice of you to recite the minutes of the most recent NAMBLA meeting Nerdstrom

Hahaha good lord
