On July 9, 2016 - just over three years ago - Politico reported of a scheduled July 11, 2016, appearance by the then Vice President among Florida's wealthy, to raise money for a cause every progressive, young or old, should never forget:
It’s the White House versus the revolution in the fight to protect Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
One week after President Barack Obama was in Miami fundraising for the Democratic National Committee — and declaring that Democrats needed to “have her back” like the DNC chair has had his back over the years — Vice President Joe Biden is headed to Florida to headline his own fundraiser just for her congressional campaign.
[...] On Sunday, Biden will be at the home of Stephen and Sabine Bittel for a fundraiser; maximum contribution is $2,700 and to be a co-host with entry to a special reception it’s $10,000.
All donors will get their pictures taken with the vice president.
If what DWS did while boss of DNC still rankles you, as it should, remember who traveled to give DWS a big money-raising tout after she'd knifed Sanders in the back but before Wikileaks published email confirming she'd knifed Sanders in the back. It could have been headlined, "Biden Backs Backstabber at Big Bucks Bonanza Banquet."
And then it was just Ol' Joe, being as "centrist" as ever - as that term has come to stand for zero besides "tool of the rich." Willingly so. Today? Still there, and still soliciting.
Pay heed: A 2020 primary vote for Joe Biden is a vote for DWS and her cadre of deceit and mediocrity, her DNC successor included.
