    I think as candidates Clinton, W. Bush, Gore, Obama, McCain had sincere support

    Joe Biden was better and more progressive than literally every one of those guys. It’s not Biden’s fault that you haven’t been paying much attention.

    I can’t personally remember a race where “the other side must be stopped” as pretty much the sole consideration among the voters until the Trump era.

    I can’t personally remember a president who has achieved more progress than Joe Biden, and I can remember every president starting with Nixon.

      Note I didn’t claim the were progressive or that Biden did nothing, I’m saying voter sentiment is basically “not trump” rather than “for Biden”. I’ll accept that Kerry was in a similar position of being the “not W” candidate, but other than that I can’t think of a candidate whose popular support was so much more about “the other guy” than the candidate themselves.

        WTF? Dude it is not Bidens fault that Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump has been ranked as the worst president in history by historians. That means there are lots of “Biden Republicans”. But Dems would be voting for Biden over any Republicrat.

        You mean the people that Biden got the UN Security Council to pass a cease fire resolution for?

        Arabs are the people who aren’t doing shit for Gaza. How Egypt/Lebanon/Turkey etc aren’t taking in refuges from Gaza and shipping tons of aid in or even offering peacekeepers? Any or all of those countries could have easily done more than Biden but they didn’t lift a finger. Looks like Arabs don’t care anything at all about Palestinians judging by their actions.
