    Everyone who thought Biden was a progressive maybe forgot or wasn’t old enough to remember the reason he was Obama’s running mate is because he was a DINO (democrat in name only) and that was to ground some of the electricity of Obama’s campaign as first black president. Obama was seen as too radical for America with his campaign promises.

    Sounds weird today but at the time MSNBC was asking questions like “is Obama black enough to be America’s first black president?”.

    Joe Biden as a VP turned out to be a liability for Obama. So they slapped some sunglasses on him and gave him an ice cream cone to stop him from making gaffes every time someone put a mic in his face. He is managed by CAA the same organization that manages actors. His persona is all PR. All people seem to remember is this manufactured persona when his actual political career is more in line with a republican and typical for a DINO serving as long as he has.

    Either way you’re going to have war unless we stop consenting to madness done in our name and that includes standing up for what you believe in.

      It’s not like Obama was super progressive. He was essentially just 8 more years of Bush with a fresh coat of paint and a bit more charisma. Hope and change my ass.
