    But, the media sounds it’s like Joe Biden don’t have a friend in the world and Democrats are not engaged in the election.

      No ones excited and we’re in an era where excitement wins elections.

      And no shaming people for “not being excited” isn’t going to work either. Biden needs to give cause for people to show up to the election, and the fact that the vast majority of working class recognize that their needs are not being met by the current economy… welp. Biden’s got work to do.

      I don’t know anyone who likes Biden. I know people who are pleasantly surprised. I know people who would prefer anyone but Biden’s predecessor (me included)

        I don’t like Biden. That being said, he’s definitely exceeded my admittedly low expectations. The fact that he’s been able to get ANYTHING done with the GOP controlling the house and the barest majority possible in the Senate is impressive. I think he’s easier to push left than I expected and has generally surrounded himself with reasonable people. Having to compare Biden to Trump is absurd. There’s nothing that comes close to making Biden a worse choice.

          Oh, 100%. I would rather be disappointed in Biden than horrified at Trump.

          That being said, I’d prefer someone else.
