    They think the public perception of Biden is that he’s woke incarnate, he’s weak, and he’s too nice. That’s always what liberals think their own problem is, that they’re too nice. It’s often why Democrats will do a sudden show of force shortly after office. Like Clinton’s crime bill or Obama overthrowing Libya

      Which is funny because Biden comes off as a total asshole and constantly hostile. Where does this “nice guy Biden” meme come from anyway, the dude has yelled and jabbed his finger and been thrown more insults than any other politician in the US. The dude is constantly yelling at people calling them “fat” and “dog faced pony soldier” and beating his fist on the table calling for more Israeli funding.

      When the average Brandon hating American imagines Biden they don’t see a pleasant kind old man. They see a belligerent and senile one.

        I think there’s a shred of recognition here. They realise that a lack of any radical policy and ideology cripple them, but since they can’t have that, they think performance of radicalism will help.
