Why has Biden outlasted all those more talented moderates and progressives? It’s not his ability, feats or campaign. Here are the 3 reasons Biden is the front runner.
1. He’s a White male.
2. He’s a centrist White male.
3. He’s a centrist White male who served as Obama’s VP.
1. He’s a White male.

3. He’s a centrist White male who served as Obama’s VP.
All of the other reasons go back to these 3 reasons. This campaign season has demonstrated once again that one’s identity, ideology, and connections are more important than one’s ability.
Forgive me for first names, but Kamala, Corey, Andrew, Julian, Bernie, Amy + Liz were not "electable" because they aren't centrist White men. Pete wouldn't have struggled w/ Black voters if he had been Obama's VP. Bloomberg was the $500 million wild card that Liz ripped apart.
This is not an indictment on Biden. This is an indictment on every instance when someone lost out on a coveted executive position because she wasn't a White male, or he was too progressive, or she did not have the right connections. This is an indictment on America.
