i'm not yet interested in coming back full time to this forum so i'm not going to debate all of the little points. i will say that there isn't a single politician in washington, regardless of the duration of his/her career, where you couldn't find votes to disagree with. the longer a person's career, the more opportunity they have to do or say things you don't agree with. no one is your mirror image. you just have to decide who matches up as well as is possible. if biden doesn't match up for you, then so be it. you don't have to like his record. but it seems silly to make his longevity your sticking point. using words like "entrenched" and "washington insider" says nothing about your opinion of his record. it just says you're equating short-term careers with more integrity. which makes very little sense.
if you have a problem with his record while in office, then make that your problem. don't just vex about how he's been in office for 35 years as though experience automatically means corruption.
