I can't explain it any more clearly. Biden makes white people who vote (and the important ones we need to peel off from Trump--blue collar and old ones who are scared of change) very comfortable. The more of those people vote for him in places with vulnerable Republican senators, the better the chances of flipping the Senate because people will just pull the lever for Dems if they're voting Dem at the top of the ticket.
I'm not going to argue that Biden may no longer be fully there enough to energize progressives. But I think this country has proven that overwhelming swaths of people vote based on a feeling. And Biden feels good and Trump feels bad
to those people.
As for you last question, I need to take it out on somebody and you're as good a candidate as anyone else.
