oh ok

Officially not voting democrat for sure.

Biden is the only democrat that I would have 100% voted for; hopefully this will be an easier vote as time goes on, and we're stuck with a decision between the lesser of two evils.

People actually thought Biden would be a good candidate?

Enough that, if I remember correctly, he was still rating at 17% in the polls after the Democratic Debate despite not doing anything in terms of campaigning.

Its cause Hillary is too far in the lead.

If it was more even between Hillary and Bernie, He would have stepped in to take away votes from Bernie. Simple politics, he never had any real interest in running.

He found out that there was no Avengers Initiative. He really wanted one.

Well, the reasons he gave in his speech were that it's too late to mount a successful campaign at this point and that he doesn't see a clear path to the presidency. He would want great odds that he'd win, not just okay ones; given that his biggest reason for attempting the run was his son's dying wish, not running is preferable to running and losing in terms of emotional toll.

Well of course hes not going to admit it. The Dems think Hillary is their only shot to win, Bernie stands no chance.

Personally, I would have liked Biden the best out of all the Democratic candidates and totally think he could easily win the nomination.

I don't think anyone really stands a chance against Hillary tbh.

Isn't Biden considering to be, like, really stupid or some shit?

Another fun note. This can effectively clinch the nomination for Clinton.

Not sure how I feel about that. I agree with Bernie's general policy, but I really don't like how he wants to execute it. It's the reverse for Hillary; I agree with fewer of her policies, but I think she'd be more effective at actually getting them passed. Bernie's a guaranteed "nothing happened" presidency, but Hillary has the prospect of going either way.

Add in the fact that there's like no chance that Bernie would hold the lead in a general election by a safe margin, if leading at all, a Clinton nomination is the only chance for a Democrat President. At the same time, I'd rather have a couple of Republican candidates over Hillary.

Why can't this just be an easy vote like Romney vs Obama?
