Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers IV: Culling the Herd
Nobody should trash Biden, but we should be aware we are making the same mistake we made in 2016. Familiar isn't always better.
It's not age per se. Warren and Sanders haven't lost a step and for all I know they're even older than Biden. But Biden looks obsolete when it comes to addressing any of the changes any liberal wants to see. He seems like an impediment. That can work -- LBJ was seen as a big step backwards in 1963 and all he did was the VRA and the Great Society. But the optics are sh-t.
