Because Biden doesn't really have his own "brand," for lack of a better word. Remember that he was only nominated because the non-Bernie candidates ratf#cked him before Super Tuesday. Which is all fine and dandy but if Biden ends up being a one-term president and loses to Donald Trump, you can't just blame the public. A President Sanders would have a loyal following that Biden simply lacks. That's just how politics works in this day and age.

Imagine believing all that.

If Biden loses, part of it will be because unlike Trump and Obama, he is terrible at taking credit for good things that happen under his administration. Biden's mostly been an effective president but he a terrible messenger. You can bet that if Trump wins, he'll take credit when inflation inevitably goes down and that will not be a good look for Democrats.

No he’s not. If you follow him or VP on social media, he talks about his economic successes all the time. And administration officials are at every major ribbon cutting — I was at one at a factory in PA just last week. And local news cameras were there.


Unfortunately it’s the public that doesn’t want to acknowledge these successes and I’m not sure why.

Failure to capitalize on one's accomplishments is a sign of a weak leader. The media absolutely has a role in this because they want Trump to win, but the buck stops with the president regardless. The fact that Biden currently has approval numbers matching those of Bush's second term can't solely be attributed to the public or the media.

That's not even true. Biden had an edge that was obscured because none of his most favorable states voted early and he was declared a loser much too early. Sanders always intended to win the nomination with 30% or less which was a poor strategy. The candidates who knew they had no chance going into Super Tuesday endorsed the candidate they knew could win a general election and there was nothing underhanded about doing that.

Sanders' following would have not lasted when he failed to deliver on all of his campaign promises.

Oh, don't worry. We are doing much better ever since we kicked to the curb our own version of Bernie Sanders.

Trump didn't deliver on all of his campaign promises either. Guess what. People still voted for him. Most presidents are lucky to accomplish 33% of what they campaigned on due to the nature of checks and balances.

Sanders supporters aren't the same as Trump supporters. Trump delivered for them through rhetoric. Sanders supporters want free healthcare, free college, etc. and would have been undoubtedly disillusioned by not getting these things.

Biden is the least effective communicator in presidential history.

Sanders would've spent much of his term campaigning against Congress and the blame would be shifted to them. Everyone who supported him except for Terminally Online communists would vote to reelect him anyway. And for all his flaws, Sanders is still better at engaging with voters than Biden is. And that's a fairly low bar since Pete Buttigieg supporters were far more enthusiastic about their candidate than Biden's.

I have to fact check you on those approval numbers, because even Biden’s lowest reading is not as low as Bush’s were in 2007/2008. It’s also harder to get an accurate result now since nobody has landlines anymore. And finally, no president since Bush has enjoyed a period of extended majority approval since the beginning of Obama’s first term, so they’re not the predictor they used to be.

People will probably never give Biden the credit he deserves, but people know his character, and that counts for a lot.
