    Biden has drastically more experience working politics in DC than Obama, and has already gotten more done. If he can inspire more people to vote, he could do even more.

      I think you misspelled “old as heck”. Biden first got elected to the senate in 1972.

      I don’t think the “more experience” angle means what you think it means.

      It means Biden is a corporate crony in a room full of corporate cronies, who actively stifle progress so that “nothing will fundamentally change” which keeps the donor class happy.

          Yes. Which negates any ideas Biden has mentioned raising taxes on the wealthy.

          In the same speech he also told wealthy donors income inequality is not the fault of the wealthy. He was begging the donor class to support him.

          Nina Turner was right. I’m no longer going to choose between a bowl of 💩 and a half bowl of 💩

          3/4’s of US Americans believe taxes should be raised for the wealthiest Americans

          (Well, if you knew the context you would know that absolutely something fundamental needs to change)

            …if you knew the context you wouldn’t be writing out disinformation. He said that wealthy people being taxed at higher rates would not fundamentally change their lifestyle, which is true. Someone making 500k and being taxed 20% would not see a substantial change if it raised to 30, 40, even 50%.

            So he agrees with you.

            Cheers.
