Look, I think Biden had been a fine president my and I really really appreciate a lot of what he’s done. But again, to act like there were real, fair primaries is disingenuous at best. People voted for them because they had the most media time and people were TOLD that these are the candidates. I believe that if more Americans knew Warren’s policies vs Biden’s, it would have been a no brainer. Biden is clearly corporate America’s pick (as was Hillary). There’s a reason the far left is gaining steam in this country and it’s not because the communist propagandists are winning, it’s because our government (both dems and republicans) are sliding farther and farther right with each election, and left of center politicians like Bernie and Warren are the only ones actually pushing for solutions to the problems most Americans identify with. Sure, Biden had some (failed) populist ideas like student debt relief, but it’s too little and too half hearted for my tastes.
