He is just like Hillary. White and milquetoast. The Democrats suck and the only thing special about them is that they're just not as bad as the Republicans. We need better candidates.

He reminds me a lot of Mitt Romney.

He is worse than Hillary. Much, much worse. I’m glad that more people are seeing it because as we can never let this evil, bigoted clown take any nominations.

Can you unironically explain? I remember in 2020 when Biden was chosen he was named as an example of one (relative to him) more left / progressive mainstream Democrat

Jokes on you Gavin, I didn't take the SATs. I can brag that I'm not a dumbass "just like you."

😂 this dude has tanked his own campaign. He's so unbelievably out of touch.

960?? Wow. Aside from that being incredibly insulting to the audience, I would never admit that. I'd take that to my grave. That's just embarrassing. Looking at some equivalency charts, that's like an 18 on the ACT. I would be re-taking that shit immediately. It really is just idiots and assholes the whole way up the chain.
