Joe Biden announces he is running for president

I didn't see anyone post this yet:
Joe Biden announces he is running for president
My guess is that his popularity will go UP, not down because he is the establishment's new darling, and he should get excellent coverage from all the establishment media outlets.

Joe Biden Is a Fraud, Plain and Simple
Quote:
From the outset, with dim prospects from small donors, the Biden campaign is depending on big checks from the rich and corporate elites who greatly appreciate his services rendered.
Biden has a media image that exudes down-to-earth caring and advocacy for regular folks. But his actual record is a very different story.
In 2002, as chair of the Foreign Relations Committee, Biden was the Senate’s most crucial supporter of the Iraq invasion.
Meanwhile, for well over four decades — while corporate media preened his image as “Lunch Bucket Joe” fighting for the middle class — Biden continued his assist for strengthening oligarchy as a powerful champion of legalizing corporate plunder on a mind-boggling scale.
Now, Joe Biden has arrived as a presidential candidate to rescue the Democratic Party from Bernie Sanders.
Biden is the most reliable alternative for corporate America. He has what Sanders completely lacks—vast experience as an elected official serving the interests of credit-card companies, big banks, insurance firms and other parts of the financial services industry. His alignment with corporate interests has been comprehensive.
It's a long article, but it shows Biden is the man for billionaires, not the working class, and he has a vast record to prove it.

Down with Zionist shills. Up with hope.
EDIT: In this world of PC culture and any criticism of Israel/Zionism, it's imperative to state that my comments are not intended to be, nor should be taken as, anti-Semitic/anti-Jewish (ethnically/religiously.) It is a comment on the insanity that is the right-wing, intolerant death-bringing Benjamin Netenyahu.
Zionism is just another militant fundamentalist movement that has no place in a peace-striving society.

His announcement bump only pushed him a penny ahead of Bernie in the Dem Nomination market. I predict that he'll slide from here on in.

It's going to be a competition between the establishment media and the alternative media. I think the establishment media still has the edge on influencing people.

Of course, I hope you're right. But again, we'll see what the majority of Americans listen to. The mainstream establishment news (koods, Enlil), or alternative news (you, Wooof, The Ecstatic). Sorry if I missed anyone - tonight is my rum tasting night and I may be a bit drunk.

There was a pretty shit interview with some centrist group who was advocating Biden on NPR either yesterday or Wednesday.
Most notably, the guy claimed that Bernie wants to socialize 1/5 of the U.S. economy (in reference to health care) and he then tried to justify the current system as is. It was embarrassing.

I'm all for socializing an additional fifth of the economy if it's health care.
This whole Joe Biden thing has me concerned and a bit depressed. He has name recognition and arguably a more impressive resume than the progressives and I can definitely envision the Democratic Party caving in to the safer option, even if it results in not too much actual change.
But if it comes down to Biden vs Trump I'll become his supporter. Four more years of Trump picking Supreme Court Nominees and other Federal Judges will cripple democracy as I know it.
Hopefully the progressives will shine in the debates. I like Bernie over Elizabeth Warren but they both are able and willing to show Biden as the establishment lackey for many years on economic matters.

All of the candidates left and right are statists. And the government desperately wants a statist back in the chair. Red or Blue is just a game for dimwitted voters.

He'll get the nomination just like Hillary, and lose, just like Hillary. Boddhi is right ... Red or Blue is a disguise / front to cover the real madness

In the Sunday Chicago Tribune, a regular columnist Mary Smitch wrote an interesting piece titled "Come on, Joe Biden, apologize to Anita Hill". Biden was the chairman of the (white male) Senate committee that questioned her, following her allegations that Supreme Court Nominee Clarence Thomas sexually harassed her while he was her supervisor.
Biden has shown considerable remorse for the actions of the committee. The rest of this paragraph is verbatim from the column so I don't have to use double quotation marks. "What happened", he has publicly stated, "was she got victimized again during the process." ... In a recent public appearance, he called her brave and said she "paid a price" for her courage. "She was abused in the hearing," he said "she was taken advantage of. Her reputation was attacked. I wish I could have done something." On Friday, in an appearance on ABCs "The View," he said "I'm sorry for the way she got treated" But? "I don't think I treated her badly." A few days ago, The New York Times reported that Biden recently called Hill to express regrets over what happened. His words fell on her ears as less than an apology. She said she doesn't think Biden's behavior during the confirmation hearing disqualifies him. "I'm really open to people changing" ... But, the Times noted, she said he can't support him for president unless he takes full responsibility for his conduct.
Obviously there is a shift in cultural sensitivity to sexual harassment in the last 28 years. It looks to me like Biden wants to straddle the fence and appeal to some progressives and the Me Too crowd without offending some centrists and even sick of Trump Republicans, who aren't too into political correctness.
I hope he's not the choice we're left with.
Beyond any discussions on center-left, I also bothered to type this in hopes of triggering some people for the amusement factor.
