Biden

[kmusser]

Those of you that follow me know that Biden was not my first choice, he came in at around 15th. He does however have the distinction of being the only candidate that was running that I've worked for. I work for a science-based agency and was tapped to do some work for his office back in 2009 and one of the things that struck me about him was that he was very concerned that A) our work was accurate and B) that he understood it correctly (also C) he loves maps, but that's besides the point). Now there are many many reasons he would make a better president than our current one, but I wanted to offer this one from personal experience. He believes science is real and listens to experts in their field. Compared to someone who listens to nothing other than his own ego that alone would be reason enough to win my vote even if we didn't have the whole our democracy being at stake business.

This surprises me not at all but it was still nice to hear

Some right-wing rhetoric I've seen says, to paraphrase, that the guy's basically a blank slate for the left to write upon. That's their argument against, which is exactly my argument for. No disagreement here!

Also, your tag misspells "politics".

Thanks, fixed.
