Because he is a flawed person rather than a person entirely composed OF flaws, that's what.

I understand your frustrations with Biden. What I do not understand is your need to taut them and crow over them, cackling at the potential demise of any chance to unseat Lord Dampnut like a half-remembered nightmare glimpsed through a broken mirror of loss and regret.
I think I'm in a great position to verbally tear him down a peg or two, character wise, since I'm already resigned to casting a reluctant ballot for the sake of my mother, yet I don't like his opponent much either. I think his victory would give her a heart attack. And at the end of the day, it's just not worth it.

Anyone remember the time Mr. Biden said we can only reelect Mr. 45?

Is there a single person here who thinks this man will take it in November, or who isn't suffering from some form of age-related issues? This goes past a stutter. And now, I want to make a heart-rending confession...

In a small way, I'm looking forward to witnessing Mr. 45 verbally tear Mr. Biden down to shreds. I mean, I don't want him to win, but at the same time, the hypocrisy from the democrats is just reaching new, record levels, it's galling. They're throwing #MeToo under the bus. Every claim they level against Mr. 45, you could throw back at this party. And that's another thing. Will the democrats be cowardly enough to use COVID-19 as an excuse to duck the debates? Because Mr. 45 is just going to highlight the doubts we all have.

These are truly dark days. And while I'm not particularly a fan, while I think there were serious issues most people were overlooking, Mr. Sanders was probably the best one suited to beat Mr. 45. I mean, don't dismiss what everyone said. Mr. Sanders is the most partisan senator, a career politician who's got nothing done, the very elite he rails against, and that no one liked him. You can't trust a man like that to get good law passed. At this point, however, I think most people are just so fed up by the system they are more willing to want to stick it to the system rather than try and reform it. And Mr. Sanders would have done just that. Though it'd be interesting to see what the electoral landscape would have looked in 2024 if he had won, when many of his promises failed to materialize.

It'd also be interesting to see how the electoral landscape of 2024 looks if the clouds shift, sunlight shines through, Farore rains down her blessings upon us, and Mr. Biden wins. I mean, what are the goals of the democrats here? Do they want to put through Mr. Biden, and then have him quietly resign - or investigate these allegations then, there by putting his VP into the position he'd just left? Maybe. I don't know.

I just wish I wasn't so trapped into voting this year. Joys of a swing state, huh?

You vote for however you want to influence the election.

That should be a relatively simple task for consideration I'd think.

I'm not kidding when I think my mother would have a stroke if Mr. 45 won again. And she's a very hardcore leftist, so I feel an obligation here, to her and to my siblings.

So long as the DNC shields Mr. Biden from criticism and tries to work around his blunders rather than, say, putting forward someone like Mr. Cuomo at the convention, they will.

When I vote for Biden, I'm not just voting for him but also getting rid of Trump, which is the paramount thing for me. You can bring up Biden's criticisms and blunders as much as you like, but it's never going to make me think I'm better off voting for Trump.
