Other candidates, like Tim Ryan and John Delaney criticize Warren and Sanders for pushing the party too far left, leading to “political suicide.” Joe Biden, a centrist democrat (not too far left or, obviously, too far right), would be a perfect candidate if this were the case.

Let me remind everyone, though, that Hillary Clinton was also a centrist democrat, with a similar history as Biden. It is arguable that Trump’s election in the first place was a result of a lack or faith in the democratic process. People were tired of politicians that did not do anything for them, and they wanted change, positive or negative. Joe Biden has a history of standing up for whatever would advance his political career, as Hillary Clinton did. Take, for instance, his troubling stance on segregation in the 1970s, as CNN reports.
