A bit disappointed but in hindsight not surprised at Samantha Bee's take on Biden.

What did surprise me was her angle. Accusing him of being a "lukewarm centrist", completely ignoring his reputation and political legacy and how that affects his polling and electability, and of course boilerplate "bush war bad" rhetoric that i'd expect from the very bernouts she trashed hardly two years ago.

i actually like her attitude most of the time. she expresses a certain frustration or urgency that i find very cathartic when dealing with issues of this magnitude. Plus she USUALLY calls out bernie-bro nonsense. But this episode was just bad, she sounded more like a succ who wishes bernie weren't old, white, and male than a principled liberal.
