I get what he's trying to say but this is sad. If you want to beat Trump, your champion can't be "not Trump". You have to put up somebody who people are actually excited to vote for. Yang, Bernie, Hillary all had energized voters. People are not going to turn up for Biden. #TKO

Maybe it's Biden's first speech and he's nervous.

Might be the first one he remembers giving.

But they are going to turn up against Trump.

... or, perhaps, we should be asking ourselves how nearly half the Country finds Trump to be even remotely suitable as President. We the people are to thank for the leaders we have. Not all of us haven chosen / voted for this reality, but we're in this together.

I don't think that's empirically true. In the US Clinton won popular vote despite being allegedly unloved and outside the US there is ample evidence of voting "against". In 2016 I bet on Trump. Not this year

Clinton vs Dole isn't that different from Trump vs Biden. Clinton and Trump are both extremely charismatic, which enables them to get away with everything and alone is probably worth at least 10 points.

You can find hundreds of similar episodes with Trump. Hasn't stopped people from voting for him.

It just shows that presidential election is a mascarade. The power isn’t in the hands of one president working for the interests of his voters, but in the hands of the oligarchs who catapulted that man into Oval Office, indifferent to whether he’s Democrat or Republican or Eskimo
