Biden's staffers should work with him on slowing down. Funtatlaguy Aug 2019 #1
Biden's staffers should work with him to help him retire Perseus Aug 2019 #76
Come on now. That's just mean and he might be our nominee. Funtatlaguy Aug 2019 #78
I will vote for Biden as well if he is the nominee but I think we have better candidates Perseus Aug 2019 #90
