I understand he beat Sanders, but Sanders had enthusiasm on his side and was good at attracting a swath of typical non-voters that Biden just isn't going to reach. Biden is old and incoherent and even when he was young he wasn't the kind of guy that was good at speaking and rallying support. He's polling fine now but I still think that gap closes the closer to the election we get and I still feel like Wisconsin is out of reach, meaning he needs to pull in Arizona or NC or something like that.

So not only do I think Sanders has better policy, I feel like I trust his voters more to show up (I know "hawhaw they didn't even show up for him in the primaries"). I think a lot of those Biden voters are very squishy and could and will move over to Trump once they start dumping all that hard oppo research.

Biden has the democratic base of suburban liberals and older voters, AND he is way stronger than Hillary with rural and working-class dems, which refused to support her and is why Bernie was way more competitive against Hillary than Biden. I think there's gonna be way less people defecting to Trump with Hillary gone, even with oppo. Hillary had that way worse.

Not saying it's going to be a cakewalk though just that it's hard to get worse than Hillary and Biden does have electoral strengths
