Yeah you’re right! It IS bad! It was also nearly as true a year and a half ago. The other side is running a candidate who is a rapist, a convicted felon, and who tried to overthrow the government, which seems even worse! But for some reason we accept that will just get papered over.
The "some reason" you refer to is because we have years and years of GOP voters not giving a shit about trump's flaws. Dems can't control that. But they *can* control running a candidate that seems *obviously* better than trump, a bar that Biden is currently failing to clear.
