He makes me miss Hillary Clinton.

The only people who support him are baby boomers who want to protect their money from us. Well, guess what old people, if we don't have enough money. (Gen-Z, millennials) We can't pay your pensions. (social security, medicare)

Checkmate.

He might have cut into Hillary's support, but she had locked down the democratic party elite very early. I don't think he'd have won the primary and his politics are so similar to Hillary's that I'm not sure he'd have fared any better in the general.
What he might have done is been more appealing to certain sectors of the populace that moved towards Trump in some key states.
I don't think Biden inspires the same amount of Loathing in the right that Hillary did/does. I have no love for her(and voted for her just to block Trump) but I remember as far back as the 1990's when the Right decided they despised her and never let it go.

But yeah, Hillary more or less rigging the primary to win when she probably didn't need to didn't help matters. Hiring Debbie Wassermann -Schultz also didn't help either.

That could easily have gone the other way. There's a reason he's never won a Presidential primary.

He has some very weird unforced errors (e.g. copying a Labour MP (Neil Kinnock's) life story and falsely claiming it for himself, casual racism, creepy behavior on video) not to mention being even more right wing than Hillary Clinton when it comes to mass incarceration, bankruptcy law, and so forth.

To be fair, Hillary Clinton is a loathsome power-hungry psychopath, and Joe Biden isn't any of those things.

It's ok, everyone can relax, Warren is going to win the primary anyway.

Perhaps not if you don't inspect him too closely?

She certainly has the media's support.

This might be a problem for her, though:

I mean, Joe Biden is a boob. The closer you inspect him, the more of a doofus he seems. It's hard to hate him or think he hate others, he's just such a boob.

Oh yeah. She's got the media attention, and she's got a slogan basically designed to mock Bernie. As soon as Biden starts losing states and people start to worry he's not as electable as they thought, Warren is where they'll jump ship to. I just hope that if she makes it to the oval office, she stops pretending she's female Bernie Sanders, cause I'm pretty sure you'd agree with me that she's not putting on a good act.

Not according to polls [https://morningconsult.com/2020-democratic-primary/].

Is it just me, or is it weird to see "political intelligence" written next to a donkey?

Also, Andrew Yang, "business person." Um, okay...

Not necessarily a bad trait in a politician, when you consider that many people are likely to vote on a basis close to "I wouldn't mind having a chat over a pint with that guy".

I mean, what else would you call him when describing his political background for a poll? "Other"? The other names have their current or highest office listed.

Personally, I'd like to see Sanders/Yang 2020. Because while I support most of Yang's ideas, he doesn't have the experience or recognizability to win and be effective as President (though he does have that "every time he opens his mouth he gets more popular" bit going like Sanders had last time), but a term or two as VP might actually give him that. I'd make do with something like Sanders/Warren, Warren/Sanders or Warren/Yang (in order of preference).

I guess they are trying to dumb things down for people who don't know what an entrepreneur is.

A businessperson is someone who has people do things for them to make money.
An entrepreneur is someone who has people do things for them to make money, but like riskier and stuff.

He's been calling himself an entrepreneur from the beginning. They might as well just call him that.
