Biden doesn't arouse that same sentiment, he's just there. The Democrats are banking on Trump defeating himself. In a way, they've learned the lesson from the 2016 election, don't put forth someone too polarizing when dealing with a person like Trump. Put forth a safe choice with broad appeal and let the adversary defeat themselves.

This is what politics is, btw, a careful balance to appeal to most of the electorate and win the race.

Yeah except Biden isn't broad appeal because everyone thinks he's done nothing substantial, which is partially true.

There's a 0% chance Michigan will be blue this year, and I'm sure many other swing states will follow.

I think he somehow values his Israeli support in government over his actual voterbase, which is absurd because that's exactly how you lose elections.
