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.

One other point, because unlike Sebby's blathering this whole issue is important - I do think Liz Warren has been making some of Biden's points for him lately. She's campaigning very well, but I think we are seeing some people emerge in polling and public statements who aren't going to vote for her on substance. Those folks may change their minds when and if it really comes down to her versus Trump, but they're going to be prime third party vote territory.
