This is what I don't understand. Why would the DNC even allow Biden to be a candidate? Why would they create a Marxist movement disguised as a civil movement with Bidens horrific civil rights history? What is their game plan and who is driving their strategy?
They are hoping that Biden can grab some Obama voters that didn't show up last time and that flipped to Trump in 2016 and that the progressives will hate vote Trump out. Im not sure how much control the establishment DNC has over the progressives atm.
Why not go with Tulsi or some other candidate? Hillary lost because she promised a 3rd Obama term. Most of Bernies voters rallied against DNC and voted Trump. Biden is barely competent. It's a horrific strategy.
I think because Joe is a known commodity. The DNC is fractured and the people who are in power in the partt dont want to risk it with some relatively new comer.
when they run someone against an incumbent, both parties usually trot out some guy they don't think can win, but would be pleasantly surprised if he did. see: romney, mitt
Biden was a safe bet. Their field was full of un-electable wackos. The only popular candidate was bernie, and he was too weak. Bernout would cave to the demands of anyone, not just the deep state. I doubt he could even handle declaring the wars they want to restart. And one question from a right wing reporter he would pop off uncontrollably. (Or a debate with Trump.)
Remember, Biden did not have such obvious signs of dementia. That's a curve-ball the DS was not prepared for.
As far as the obvious corruption? They all have a hand in the Ukrainian cookie jar, Biden has the biggest reason to shut down and block any investigations, or even start pressuring Ukraine again to save himself. In the process he will be defending the very people who put him in power. They don't want a clean candidate, because a clean candidate would have nothing for them to control.
Better to put an obviously corrupt person (Hitlary) who wouldn't dare to turn against them, and just keep the corruption out of the news cycle.
I can understand the skin in the game approach. That makes a lot of sense. However, they would have done better having Romney move as a Dem to run against Trump. He has skin in the game but I think the radicals would go bonkers and run a 3rd party candidate.
Not such a bad idea, but if Biden had kept his wits I think they would be in a better position than with Romney.
It worked with Trump because everyone loved him. Dems and Republicans alike, nobody hated Trump before he announced his presidency, he was literally "An American Icon." Romney however, is a snake and nobody likes him. The left hated him up until he showed the colors of his turncoat hide. They can't cover that up and run the guy who ran against Obama as the successor for the dem party. They need the guy that reminds their base of the Obama years, not the guy that (on paper) stands for everything they hate. Religion, family, oil, and the GOP.
We know he doesn't actually stand for those things at all, but you can't take that image away completely.
I thought it was really interesting how Netflix released a Documentary of Romney that was very favorable and not controversial. After watching it, I knew Romney was another puppet. This was back before I swallowed the Red Pill. I think Romney and the right VP would play much better than Biden. It's interesting. He is certainly controlled opposition.

Yeah but he is 76 or so. He doesn't fit a contender profile. It's strange.

Agree.
