    I dont know why Biden gets so much hate. He has been a fantastic president so far. Could he have done more? Sure, but I dont understand why the hate. They say “hold my nose” to vote for him… like wtf why?

      Yeah I’m right there with you. Biden has accomplished a lot. I don’t agree with everything he’s said or done but as a whole he’s done a fantastic job turning America around. If he can beat Trump once he can beat him again and that is paramount. Plus it gives dems another 4 years to start pushing younger more progressive candidates into the spotlight.

        Don’t forget Trump is dragging the Republican party down, big time. - he will destroy the country. He has allowed those who are enemies of the constitution to come out of the closet and attack democracy.
        Biden on the other hand, has surprised us by being more progressive than we thought he would be. He may not be physically agile but he knows good policy, like forgiving student loans for example, and he knows how to get legislation passed.

      A lot of people don’t understand how hard it is to fix things with a hostile Supreme Court and an obstructive congress. To the people saying “both sides are the same because Biden has only managed to clean up a few of Trump’s messes”, how would you do it instead? Biden has decades of experience, and he’s trying. Do you honestly believe someone else could do better?

      Because he’s not charismatic.

      People like to point to his earlier career not aging well to current social / political norms, completely ignoring that adapting one’s values as society evolves is a desirable trait.

      But really, it comes down to charisma. He’s awkward and not particularly likeable, and people will bend over backwards to justify their dislike of him despite his accomplishments.

      Then are the hardline progressives, who literally no electable will ever please. I’m sure even Bernie would have had to make compromises or fail to deliver enough to alienate these folks if he had taken the presidency.

        If Bernie got elected hard-line progressives would be throwing themselves off their roofs onto the grass outside their mothers houses for how little he’s done and how all politicians are the same lol.

      Axelrod and a bunch of the ‘conservative’ left really, really dislike Kamala and fear her as a president.
