Never Biden. If he’s the nominee, yes, I will vote blue, etc.
But I don’t like him one bit.
Really? JOOC, why?
I'm not asking to start any ruckus; frankly, I see him as...a fairly inoffensive candidate.
To be clear: I would LOVE to see a woman in office (& see America join the ranks of...well, the rest of the civilized world), however, I fear we're just so very backward, a female candidate running against a male candidate would hand it to the repubs.

First and foremost, he’s wayyyyy outdated.
More palatable than angry grampa, but that’s not saying much.

While I can't prove this, I had a conversation with my mother about this in the 1980s, and I said at the time (and she actually agreed) that America would see a "black *man* [as POTUS] before a *woman* would ever be elected".
So...while I was overjoyed to see Obama in, I was kinda saddened as well, as it...well, it kinda made my prediction right.
Iceland, the UK...I don't care to list every single country that's evolved past us; it's kind of a bummer :(
@netspionage @Kitty62862 @TheAbbotTrithemius Merida....still more sexist than racist!

I said it in the spring of 2008.
I’ve never shared this, but my daughter and I watched that official nomination festivity, in 2016. I held her close to my face and whispered “No more limits. Dream it, work for it, have it”. It’s the closest I’ve come to tears since I don’t remember when. Maybe 2009.
The election results took my major depression, and threw a molotov cocktail into it.
