"In recent days, dozens of Democrats in crucial House and Senate contests have finally gotten back post-Biden polling, and it shows the Vice President Kamala Harris effect is, indeed, real. Senate Democratic incumbents have been ahead in almost every single publicly released poll except in the red state of Montana. One Democratic group testing presidential numbers in competitive House districts rarely saw data that showed Biden above 50 percent; Harris is clearing that threshold and sometimes well above it.”

    Biden isn’t a good man, dude wrote the RAVE Act and openly supported the 90s “crime” bills. He’s a piece of shit like 99% of democratic incumbents.

      That stuff is terrible, we know from the last election.

      He did a has done lot of crappy stuff, but somehow he turned out to be better than trump, which is what most people voted for.

      Perfect shouldn’t be the enemy of good, and I wonder what 2024 would be like with the last guy in charge the last 4 years.

      You won’t ever get what you want if you find little faults in everything and everyone. Yes Biden has written bad bills, helped pass many, and even made decisions this term that many progressives including myself don’t favour.

      However, he has this term on the whole been an ally for progressives in ways that no President in the last 40 years has. We can do better and I am hopeful we will extend that progress with a President Harris and a potential national trifecta, but defeatist attitudes will get us nowhere.
