Ah, I clicked the tweet link. I didn’t see the yahoo link. I see that my first scenario is essentially what happened, so good.

On top of all the excellent reasons she would do a great job in this position, it’s also true from a purely practical point of view that we would be GAINING a voice in DC instead of losing, for example, a senator.

I’ll be surprised (though delighted) if he picks her, given the lack of more than one or two genuinely progressive bones in his entire body.

Yep. But you’re pretty much preaching to the “STFU and eat you Biden shit sandwich because the only thing that matters now is kicking out Trump!” crowd around here.

Why is Biden commenting on this now? Or was there another coup attempt recently?

He just needs to remind the electorate that, despite all the kinds of radical talk you were hearing from democrats during the primary, he’s not the kind of pinko commie that would balk at training and equipping fascist death squads when people in Latin America elect the wrong kind of president.

Opposition to Maduro was Obama-era policy; I don’t expect any change from any of those policies with Biden, as that would require more imagination than he has.
I’m just surprised that he’s taking time to discuss foreign affairs now, with everything else that’s happening.

Elections have consequences. This started in 2005, prior to Trump, but Republican games meant Obama couldn’t fill that empty seat. Trump has managed to fill two.
President, Senate, House, state… even municipal. They all matter. You want to swing left on America, you can’t start at the top. This has been the result of decades of work by the GOP. It’s what they aimed for.
And yes, president does matter. Trump has shown that he will take advantage of any power he can to bypass the Senate and House if he doesn’t think he has all the votes.
