Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Biden Will Enter Presidential Race Next Week [View all]madaboutharry
(40,204 posts)1. I like Joe Biden, but I won't support him in the primaries.
I just really feel it is time to look forward. Joe Biden is a good man, but his time has passed. Even though I think the whole thing about him "touching" people was not in the category of "me too," and I do believe he meant no malice or intended to harass, it did represent a backward cultural attitude.
I am just tired now and I am ready for someone new, with fresh eyes, who I think has the skill set to bring the country forward.
Of course, if Joe Biden is the nominee I will enthusiastically vote for him.
If I were to vote in a presidential
