“It’s almost a cruel joke on the electorate that the longest presidential election potentially ever might also be the one that they’re least excited about,” said one Democratic pollster, speaking anonymously to candidly discuss the race.

    These are good points. Problem is that he’s basically the only other choice and arguing about whether or not to vote for him only helps Trump right now. I would absolutely vote for someone other than Biden if I thought it would do any good, but it won’t. Like it or not we have a two party system in the US so it’s Biden or Trump right now.

      This is why the primary shouldn’t have been rigged for him to be the nominee, and one reason he should have stepped aside. Biden currently polls worse than Trump, but do you know who polls higher than Trump? Undeclared Democrat. Biden filled his role and did his job well, but it’s time for him to move on. It’s a lot like how RBG should have retired and moved on when the timing was right instead of letting her legacy get completely undone.
