This is one reason why progressives don't like Biden. Bidens biggest challenge will be his LONG history, Anita Hill, Crime Bill, Hyde Amendment, he loves Chenney ETC ETC ETC.
Biden has had his problems with the national dem base before, he failed in 88 and 08 to win the presidential nomination (got rekt pretty hard in both).
Feb is still so far away and Biden will continue to flip flop on lots of his old policies/stances. Lie to everyone and say whatever you think people want to hear on any given day, IOW be a good corporate politician.
Anita Hill? You mean the one that lied about Clarence Thomas; who was part of the modern-day lynching? That one. There was no proof that Clarence Thomas did was he was accused of doing. There was a ton of evidence that this accused behavior was different than what seen experienced by numerous other women.
And, the fact that she took another position with him years after this incident was alleged to have occurred makes it suspect.
Biden's problem is that he is an old-school corporatist Dem trying to make his way in a party where intersectional social theory has taken root. He will do well with the labor Dems, the pro-life and the old coalition of the Dems. If the Dems purge the pro-lifer's from their ranks they are going to tank badly.
This is without a doubt true, at least the part about Biden being apart of the old side of the party.
Biden is old news to progressives and new Democrats, he's apart of the establishment that always makes big promises and never deliveries (or at least has a small track record) He's a guy that is in bed with Corporate lobbyist, and is probably going to be a war-hawk if he were to ever gain some real power.
Even saw this VOX article going after him, which shows the progressive side is on the attack against him.
Joe Biden is the Hillary Clinton of 2020
Americans want outsiders, reformers, and fresh faces, not politicians with decades of baggage.
