    “Most progressive” is not a high bar to clear

    Yet Biden managed to fail anyway.

    It’s a reasonably fair claim that Biden has been more progressive than Obama

    Nope. Neither fair nor accurate. Obama picked Biden to assuage the fears of white conservative Democrats and Biden is the exact same guy that he’s always been. His age isn’t much of a problem in itself, but his outdated policy positions and opinions are.

    He entered politics before the invention of the walkman and he hasn’t changed or acknowledged any of his mistakes since then.

    definitely isn’t outrageous enough to justify ranting about crack smoking and traumatic brain damage.

    For the reasons stated above, I beg to differ.
