You know, if you really don't want him it's okay to just say so. Period, without this kind of thing and certainly no need to go into reasons that might not be acceptable here. That's your right, and would be more than made up for by your decision to vote for him in spite of whatever.

Btw, you may remember that Hillary was able to immediately, like overnight, raise $200 million from wealthy, involved Democrats when she became the nominee and discovered the DNC didn't have the money to put on the candidates' debates. Biden is every bit as well connected and prominent in the party and could have upped his donations if he had ever had to, but he never had to.

Instead, and this is beautiful , he planted Sanders (who'd been doing his own best to buy the election with more big money than the rest put together) an ideological facer by blowing up a whole battery of his favorite and most powerful lies about Democratic corruption.

Guessing that devastating assault on Sanders' deepest delusions (literally the foundation of his own identity) is probably causing him as much distress as having his lies lose power and watching Biden soar far past him, without money and without Republican and Russian assistance: on nothing but the power of what VP Biden offers the electorate.
