First, I’m hoping that Biden can get elected. I suspect he can, because he doesn’t have the same problems Hillary does (for example, he lacks a vagina) but there’s no end to the Republicans’ fuckery.
If he does get elected, if he were to get primaried, I would prefer he were primaried by an actual leftist, or at least a non Phil Ochs liberal. A Social Democrat at least. Someone who represents progress, not 90s Republicanism dressed up as milquetoast centrism, not “he’s not a sociopath who will make you drink bleach”. I want him to be replaced by the real deal… Assuming we’re lucky enough to have him to be replaced.
He will be 81, not 91. He will be slightly above the life expectancy for the average American male, but he’s not the average American male. He’s a wealthy career US Senator, not a truck driver from Kansas. I suspect he will be alive well into his 80s.
How about no.
As someone born and raised in the Midwest, fuck that noise. We’re not all ignorant hillbilly dirt farmers. Some of us are well educated progressive folks who are doing the best we can for our communities, and are tired of being told we’re beyond redemption just because of where we live. That would be bad enough, but most of this condescension comes from East Coast types who would look down on us anyway just because our grandparents didn’t go to the right colleges.
