Was that a super delegate?

Pipelines are dirty, dangerous, and most of all, a nod to our past energy usage.

We need to get away from stuff like that and head into the future with green energy and technologies that will eliminate carbon production.

You need to look to the future, Joe! And you aren't.

If he's the nominee, of course I will vote for him. But I won't be happy about it. And this pipeline stuff is just one of the reasons why.

It really helped Hillary in Iowa, Nebraska, and the Dakotas in 2016.

I'm hoping you'll clarify.

Nevermind the human cost of these pipelines...


By your logic who cares if Biden will lock in the AA vote in S. Carolina?

Democrats haven't' won S. Carolina in the general since Jimmy Carter.

The inconsistency is getting hard to fathom. It's like it's all about getting Biden to be the nominee and there's no plan after that.

...STILL the wrong answer. At least as the first response. I mean, wouldn't you typically express some understanding of his concern, and then explain why you still felt your position was the right one? Or if there's no sufficiently short explanation, at least say something like, "it's more complicated than I have time to explain now, but if you go to my web site..." and "we may not be able to agree on this one issue, but I hope you'll consider voting for me anyway"... But "go away kid, you bother me" is not going to endear him to anybody. And he should know, mics are always live, and somebody is always recording.

Good grief

VOTE FOR SOMEONE ELSE!

He says it enough.

Seriously, does he think it's clever?!

The man treated Joe with courtesy …. Why the hostility ? ...

is it me or does Biden and many of his supporters seem to think we can throw away votes?

Many have a very high-handed approach to other candidates and their supporters, which didn't work so well in the last election. We need every vote we can get. Trashing others doesn't help that cause.

Joe Biden is. His reply is obnoxious and not clever in the least.

That’s twice that I’ve seen this week. Not a good look.

Be it energy independence, safer and more efficient than oil trains, etc. Instead of being dismissive. Not a good look for Joe for those who vote on environmental issues.

That was a really obnoxious reply.

his tough guy shtick.

56% don't think Biden is the best candidate to beat Trump and 69% didn't choose him as best leader.

He's liked and disliked for any number of reasons. I don't like the tough-guy shtick and find it obnoxious when he tells a voter who disagrees with him to vote for someone else. Does he not understand how high the stakes are? We cannot afford a second Drumpf term...

faux outrage...is just well faux.

to say "Don't touch me" when he does that.

Can Joe say or do whatever he wants, including turning away voters, and still maintain your support?

I've seen it too many times here to think differently.

attempt to accuse Joe of acting like some Bernie supporters.

could you maybe rephrase that?

Are you saying Bernie supporters are telling people to vote for Trump?

And how is this the same as a CANDIDATE who is not Trumptelling people to vote for Trump?

Remember the immigrant activist?

Same thing.

My number one is the environment and Tom said first thing he would do is fix what he can personally with the environment.

Pipelines are useful and necessary. Demanding the end of pipelines makes no sense in the real world.

Maybe you should email that to Joe.

say things I may not agree with because they are human and they are not me.
At least I keep it real and am not blind to my candidates short comings because they all got em.

in his face. Biden has a short fuse for "malarkey".

Thanks for the concern, but you needn't worry yourself about Joe.

The issue is how the voters respond to what Joe do.

"Meek and mild" has fallen out of fashion.

I find that more unsettling than his non-answer.

Anyone who looks at this will think it is ratfucking.

is the dirty trick?

Be sure to read all responses in each thread to get all the information. Don't be lead or influenced by fear tactics and negative half truths. Investigate all claims and news stories. Decide for yourselves. Be your own DUer.

And welcome.

ONLY!!! 2020 and beyond.

and shows it. Occasionally he gives off some heat, too, but his more consistent style is graciousness, affability. Supporters, and even those not politically in sync, mention his empathy.

Sanders, on the other hand, though he comes across as confidently intelligent and fired up, never hits the warmer, more mellow notes. He appears passionately connected to his own ideas, his vision, but not to people. Definitely a personality that can be a drawback even when folks like his policy. He is never described as likable, friendly, warm. In fact, he doesn’t describe himself in terms of sociability. Just the opposite.

I don’t think Biden’s occasional show of anger, remarked upon because he’s mostly even tempered, will hurt him. But I do see that Sander’s abrasive manner gets wearing and may keep him from having a wider appeal.
