There is no go back. Even if we win, we will still have obstructionist Republicans, a growing white supremacist movement, worsening climate, and a tottering empire.
Biden can't undo these things. Better to pick someone who can lead us forward into the new normal.

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

Not sure why he might be concerned about declaring a VP choice so early... InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #7

To me, it's a bit premature to be naming a VP running mate so early on ... yep, a bit gimmicky. RKP5637 Mar 2019 #9

Exactly... Joe seems healthy enough, but it could raise questions. InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #10
