Biden is definitely running, right?

You ever see the movie Click? I would like to have a remote control and fast forward 20 (?) years so they're all dead....

    Bernie reminds me of leftist politicians who've been running for president since the 90's and gets around five percent of the total votes every time. They've become such a constant that you have multiple generations making the same joke of "they're STILL running?"

      I remember reading a newspaper column, maybe by Herb Safire, about one of those. He had run for state legislature for decades and never gotten any traction. Well one year the longtime incumbent up and died, and it was too late to get a new candidate on the ballot. He had name recognition up the wazoo, and sure enough he won the election.

      Once in office he was highly unpopular among the other legislators because he actually tried to be honest and do what he always said he was going to do in his campaign ads. He made little headway. He served one term and was defeated.

      The thing is we've had actual leftists do that, and fucking win eventually cause they built something and didn't compromise. Allende was a constant in elections, never doing very well, until he became the most dangerous man to the USA
