Joe Biden supports a ban on government funding for abortion [Update: Now against ban]

Lol. No he didn't. He still has name recognition among "centrists" and "independents" as the before time when people weren't batshit fucking insane. Twitter sphere Democrats hate him but people offline love the fuck out of Diamond Joe.
Previous policy change: last month Joe Biden said he wanted to kill the Hyde Amendment
He literally just told the ACLU he was against the Hyde amendment about a month ago.

I think what we're all coming to realize is that we actually wanted the Onion's version of Joe Biden to run for president.
He knows what he is doing. He is going all in on this centrist position, kinda unsurprisingly.
The centrists will lead us to this stagnation. The last thing we need is to postpone any real change as the right continues to degrade society. Oh Joe - you won't have my vote in the primaries. Hopefully you won't be the democrat candidate.

But centrism totes isn't conservativism for people too scared to say they're conservatives.
Something something uncle Joe!! Something something civility

Look at this spin.
The woman mentions Hyde Amendment twice pretty clearly, which sounds nothing like "Mexico City rule". So either a hearing problem, or Biden is pandering, or he's not all there.
Supporting a woman's right to choose ought to be a litmus test for most Dem voters. If this really is Joe Biden's position, then it joins the list of things which disqualify him to represent Democrats in 2020.
This sort of shit is precisely why Warren needs to sit in the White House. Never let a man do a woman's job.
The governor who signed the Alabama abortion bill was a woman.

@ACLU
Our volunteer Nina asked Joe Biden whether, as president, he would lift the Hyde amendment, which bans federal insurance coverage of abortion. He said yes.

The ACLU tweet mentioned in the article. Did he change his mind again this week or does he just agree with whoever is in the room like Trump does?
The "Democratic Establishment" is not why Biden is currently the frontrunner.
The "Democratic Establishment" (spoiler: in 2016 this meant "Literally Barack Obama") actively pushed Biden out to make way for Hillary because Obama preferred Hillary as his successor.
In 2019 there is no "establishment favorite" here, it's a massively split race where Biden currently has the lead based on a coalition primarily based out of black voters and non-college white Dems, largely due to his association with Obama and high name recognition. This coalition base is not how Obama 08/Hillary 16 won (both were based out of white college grads + black voters), it's closer to Bill Clinton's coalition, and it's going to make the race different in how things play out.
SERIOUSLY?! Boomer dems? This is your guy? I didn't expect much to begin with, but there's more bottom to this than I expected! Holly fucking shit!
Yeah and a woman wanted to repeal the 19th Amendment. Not all women have the brains they were born with and you can usually thank men for that.
Joe Biden supports the woman's right to choose. He was banned from receiving communion in 2008 for his stance of supporting Roe v Wade...
I wonder how many people saying Biden is the Dem establishment's choice were also mad in 2015/16 for having the Dem establishment crown Hillary instead of having a "real progressive" like Biden
🤔
Biden is whatever the fuck you want him to be. Plus, he's the only man that can beat Trump.
So says the Biden for President 2020 Campaign.
The only thing that can beat human garbage is more human garbage
-Biden campaign slogan
If you don't support funding abortions for poor women who can't afford them, then you don't really support a woman's right to choose. The Hyde Amendment is trash and the rest of the serious Democratic field does not support it. It is both sexism and classism.
Hillary had a ton of problems but shes fucking Rosa Luxemburg when compared to Mr. "both sides"
and thats without even taking his harassment into consideration. Christ.
The second line is completely accurate.
The first line isn't really backed up by polling right now, for better or for worse.
(QP are very, very, very good pollsters, they're the one polling org that nailed the VA race in 2017.)
At this point I have to wonder if potentially 8 years of Biden would be more harmful to the country in the long run than just 4 more years of Trump.
Yeah, Clinton had her policy issues, but in 2016 she supported getting rid of this ban.
Do these polls take into account people who won't vote at all if those are their choices?
My issue is voter turnout. Do you think Millennials will really line up for the guy who represents the last 30 years of being on the wrong side of a topic, consistently? Trump got the old cultists who line up like it's a ritual, and younger folks tend to have more of a purity test when it comes to that, hence low turnout in general, given their constant lukewarm choices.
