I don't even know how much more money could help Biden. He just doesn't appeal to Democratic voters. His whole thing was "electability" and his proximity to Obama. But now that those have faded and he is on less of a platform, he's just less politically talented, relevant, and likeable than some of the other candidates.


That's...not true at all. You're overreacting to Iowa and NH.

Biden has really strong favorability numbers so I don't agree with your assessment. Now, they might not hold and Biden is certainly trending down but we really can't say anything until AFTER SC.

Klobuchar and Buttigieg are just much better than him in every conceivable way except for having been Obama's VP.

How? Buttigieg has no experience lol.

Biden was a Senator for over 30 years and helped with some pretty significant legislation. Klobuchar's accomplishments, while impressive, pale in comparison.

They're younger, fresher, more charismatic, more articulate, seem to not get unsettled as much as Biden by people who dont support them, and they arent as nose-deep in the D.C. swamp as Biden.
Quite frankly, nobody cares about legislative accomplishments from 30 years ago. And as much as Biden has tried to claim co-ownership of the more recent Obama-era legislation, I dont think that this pitch is particularly convincing.
Oh yeah, have I mentioned already that these two would not be fucking 77 years old on inauguration day? ;)

Btw, I'm not saying that you're necessarily wrong, I just think differently about Biden. Guess time will tell who was right.
