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.

The thing is, we all know this is Biden's best argument. And I think people understand the argument, and it provides a good, strong skeleton for the campaign as a whole.
What I can't figure out is why he's not getting a campaign in place that puts meat on those bones.
Maybe the whole campaign comes to life in December and January, to time the peak for NH and Iowa, and he's just conserving resources, focus and energy right now. But if Joe Biden doesn't win this, the person he will need to blame is Joe Biden, not anyone else.
