FTA, about Robinson, the article's author:
"Nathan Robinson is the editor of Current Affairs and a Guardian US columnist. He is the author of the new book Why You Should Be a Socialist (St Martin’s Publishing Group)"
in other words, Biden is a DINO
Biden believe Christians should be classified as terrorists. Yes, it’s on video. Nuff said.
Biden way to conservative for this guy, that’s all.
The Democrat canadate is still in hiding.

In Identity Politics Land, (dems), they truly believe that the only way to beat Trump is to get white men voting dem, and the only way to do that is to nominate a white man.
That’s their “logic”.
It’s so full of prejudice it’s laughable, and, it will fail in Hindenburg fashion.
Those rings that President Trump is offering to Quid Pro Joe are adjustable and designed to snugly fit the wrist. /s
Would we be so lucky as to have one of the announced Dem candidates run against the President?
I’m not so sure, but it’s fun to think so.
Biden has tons of baggage.
Biden’s policies are whatever gets votes, not core beliefs.
Biden just lied and said he supported the raid on Bin Laden.
The author is right....Biden will be eaten up by Trump, but thinking Sanders will fare better is just silly.
But the author hopes mainstreaming a socialist campaign sets it up for the future (like AOC) to run on a similar platform and it will not seem so “irregular”
For reasons I don’t quite understand, Biden is stronger among seniors than the other Democrats. All the old white ladies at my church think Biden can do no wrong. Biden has them fooled into thinking he’s an old school moderate Democrat.
It is not a mutually exclusive position to say Biden is the most electable Democrat and Trump will run rings around him.
Oh that's a good one!
It's true that Biden will lose. But the others will lose worse. Except maybe ...
I have a friend who is generally to the right but not as ardently as I am. He thinks Bloomberg has a chance at being the nominee.
It's not a bad idea I think. Since I think it's true that Biden will lose badly, and the other cartoons will lose worse ... Bloomberg may be their wisest choice because he's probably the hardest for Trump to attack -> he appears to be the only sane democrat, once his 4 trillion ads get out there people will 'know' him. Then he can serve the purpose of Biden (a seeming non-cartoon-progressive-communist anything-but-trump) without Biden's baggage not to mention faltering mind due to age.
I know Bloomberg has no charisma -> but am I right that he might be their best bet to try to get the spineless swing voters who will decide the election?
I still think we're looking at a virtual landslide barring some big negative event.
The two statements are not mutually exclusive.
They may both be true.
“Most electable” just means highest name recognition. Even so, Biden will not inspire the needed turnout from the Democrat base. Trump does inspire his base to get out and vote. They don’t have an Obama this time. Not even a Hillary.
Biden (or Clinton) are the most electable but really neither have a chance.
... get used to waiting until 2024.
Biden is an incredibly bad choice, until you look at the rest of the Democrats.
I dunno... I’ve seen the excitement in the faces of those octogenarians at the nursing homes he visits, as Pappy Joe challenges chubby dudes to push up contests. The man is a force!
Their problem is that all their candidates are losers, Slowjoe won’t end up doing too much worse than any of the other options.
