(15,244 posts)He is not a particularly good manager, and to my mind, while he's always been on the right side of history in major economic issues, he's not gotten a lot of stuff done.
Same with Biden.
My question to both of these gentlemen is this: You have both been in Congress for many years, decades, and in Biden's case been VP. If you are so effective, why are things so much worse now than when you first got into office?
Is that a painful question? Yes, I know it is very stinging. But it is also very legitimate. I'm tired of people talking a good game and then not getting anything done. I'm not thrilled about the record of either Bernie or Biden, though I do like Bernie's policy positions much better.
But in 2020, the Dems need to run someone who can get millennials and gen Z to the polls, and this time around I don't think it is either Bernie or Joe. Both good men, and I will certainly support if either is the nominee, but we have other candidates that can do better, I think. Better against Trump, and better when they get in office.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
