I'm not disagreeing with you.
But I think we're seeing a fundamental flaw of representative democracy in the modern age.

I'm curious what you mean by this.

It's the only viable candidate they got. The only one capable of beating Trump.

I think he missed his shot not piggy backing off of BO. Plus, he seems to be on that 'shaming voters' shyt that is going to turn off a lot of the people who are on the fence about voting or staying home.
Also, I don't trust him to do a lot of campaigning without putting his foot in his mouth.
He didn’t run last time because Obama told him not to. Hillary had to have her turn, and now that she lost, that’s over. Biden has the green light.
I used to worry about Biden saying some crazy shyt, but that was before........
Nothing that Biden (or any other Democrat) can say that will top the long list of outrageous shyt said/tweeted by Trump. If the media has the nerve to call out the Dems for any comments, their staff should immediately direct the media to all the shyt they allowed Trump to get away with.

But he acted like he might run and waited a weekend or some shyt to decide. Besides I'm talking about being in the electorate's psyche. He's gonna be kinda forgotten by 2020.
And did the media let Trump get away with it or did the electorate? I believe the press has covered quite negatively all the things Trump has said, his supporters just don't care. And really I'm worried he will say something to piss off the left wing of the Dem party. He may lecture or dismiss their concerns causing them to stay home or vote third party.

It seems a lot of the news about Trump is what he said recently and how terrible it was.
They actually cover it too much instead of a lot of stories they should be covering.
Space-time and the flow of information. People are able to move more freely, but more importantly information is able to move across the country in milliseconds.
As a result, representation is not longer pocketed as I believe it was initially designed. Politicians are criticized for making votes that reflect their constituents in order to band together with their party first and foremost.
National politics have lost their way.
People in the Midwest and the Appalachians are voting over illegal immigrants and tax cuts because that's why they're supposed to do, but in reality poor health care, the disruption of labor rights and Trump's trade war are larger threats.
And in the past this is something their
representatives would rightfully support.
Example, in NC people in Bostic and Lenoir were running on an anti transgender bill in response to Charlotte and winning because that's what was on the state/regional news and it was provocative.
Like breh, you're not even voting on local issues. You're voting based on a place you heard about, that you're almost never at, over the unemployment and drug crisis crippling your small town.
Further and more important, it increases the reach of lobbyist and corporate money. Put of state businesses are buying off politicians in places that don't get the net benefit.
We're pretty much crowdsourcing corruption at this point.
Trump would eat that closet faq alive in a campaign.
Yeah he's the only one smart enough and has a good record with Obama and even going against Clinton. If it's anyone it him if the socialist don't completely take over the party by next year

Bernie sanders should go form his own party and the leave the 'corrupt'' democrats. The man is a joke and a fraud and a selfish narcisstic at that, the fact that him and hillary were the 2 main options for the dems show how fukked up the political discord is, not that republicans are any good. I will not vote or support that imbecile no matter what, if that means 2 terms of trump then so be it
