(11,989 posts)And the stuff you quoted applies to the primary, not the general. It is saying not to assume that he's leading the race merely because he is seen as most likely to beat Trump, but also because he and his positions actually have strong support among Dems... which I don't doubt, but isn't the question at hand. In fact, I am MORE supportive of the idea that people should vote for him in the primary if they genuinely think he and his positions are best than I am with the idea that we should vote for him because he's most electable.
In short, I agree with the stuff you posted, that Biden's biggest strength is not electability, but rather that people actually like Joe and his policies. What I worry about is that, while yes I think he is electable, I also think he is beatable, and I think more so than some of our other candidates.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
