    Why are you quoting a guy with a The South Won The Civil War fetish?

    I'm quoting a Hugo Award winning science fiction writer because I follow him and I thought that what he said was pretty much dead on. That sort of quote isn't going to endear Biden to the woke crowd.

    He's written numerous alternate history novels. His "Guns of the South" is a damn good read in that genre. The novel's version of R. E. Lee is the good guy that he's been written as for many decades, true. He's a long way from racist if that's what you're implying.

    As a native Delawarean, I've always wanted one of us to be President. Joe made VEEP. His campaign will do nothing b ut hurt him. It's so bad it's happening. It won't be long b before he starts knocking Obama, and then he'll be down in Hickenlooper territory.

    Nothing that I've seen from Biden makes me think that he has learned to run a winning presidential campaign.

    It's fair to consider the extreme. It's also fair to consider that the Boston Bomber represents a minute percentage of the imprisoned population, which is made up of a far greater percentage of people who committed non-violent drug offenses. It's fair to consider that if Tsarnaev and Roof and Nikolas Cruz all cast their votes the same way, they would have zero effect on the overall outcome of an election.

    I'm not advocating for prisoners to have a vote, although I think ex-cons should have their voting rights restored. I don't think prisoners should be able to vote until their sentence has been served - which, not coincidentally, eliminates the need to "consider the extremes" of people who commit crimes so heinous they'll spend their lives in prison.

    All that said, your take on the tweet is clearly written through the lens of someone who doesn't care for AOC. You're dismissing a fair argument. Debate it on its merits instead of denigrating it as "virtue signaling."
