Yeah Yeah, maybe "Joe is a good friend of mine" and "Yes I think he can beat Trump" wasn't a good primary campaign strategy in 2020.

The best rises to the top in competitions, and the best most perfect candidates for the democratic party, so that they could win, was Hillary and Joe Biden.

[@RyanBrrr]

I love Bernie, but he likely wouldn’t have been very productive. It’s great to have a leader who champions the average citizen, but it’s meaningless if you cannot craft policy that can pass Congress. Bernie would have been unable to reach across the aisle. Biden was surprisingly productive in his four years, and I would sadly have been surprised if Bernie could have done as much with twice the time.

[@BitTheShed]

​@Musicphilsgood He did that only when it was at the point that continuing on in the race would split the vote between him and Hillary and guarantee a Trump presidency. The real issue was that the DNC, including officials near the top, were against having him as the candidate from nearly the beginning and attempted to prevent it.

Don't forget he also came second after Biden at the D. Presidential election. Seems to me that even if Kamala does win it will be a Obama win. A result that will only polarize the situation further for the upcoming decennial's on half of the US against the other half which is no win at all at this moment in time.

@@xpsxps1339 The EU gets a lot of good rap on these issues globally and it's not entirely deserved. In Belgium, one of the richest EU member states per capita, the minimum wage, adjusted for an hourly rate, is around $11 so nothing terribly exciting - while the cost of living is higher than in the US on average. Also, mind you, the median wage in Belgium is 3,500EUR (or $3,800), while the US median wage is about $90 higher. The more realistic comparison between the US (335 mil people) and the EU (450 mil) as a whole is also interesting: the EU-level median wage is only around 2,200 EUR ($2,400).
