Joey’s VP
Some think that Joe should have picked Hillary for VP. If Joe had picked Hillary he’d be dead by now. The position of VP is, like everything else in the Democratic Party, symbolic. Joe announces “I’m picking a black woman” and so he did. She was not popular, she tore Biden apart at the debates, so she wasn’t chosen as a great working partner. Joe hit two essential demographics, blacks and women, neither of which are very particular about merit or character.
This is why Obama picked Joe as his VP. He needed someone to identify with the old bigoted part of the Democratic Party. Joe is a shrewd but hapless white man whose gaffes keep constituents entertained whilst Obama tried his best to fundamentally change the country.
The parties pick the president except in the case of Donald Trump. Jeb was the anointed one, given tons of cash and without the intervention of Trump would have extended the Bush legacy of war.
Notice that Bernie has been cheated twice because Joe was the one the party wanted. Furthermore, Joe didn’t need to hardly campaign as the fix was in. If you think your vote counts, think again. The only reason Trump got in is because the Republican and Democratic establishment were over confident as they depended on poll numbers predicting the outcome.
It won’t happen again. I think it was Stalin that said, it doesn’t matter who votes, it matters who counts them.
