The Media Still Doesn’t Get Biden Voters

A good in-depth discussion of media bias in political reporting, or why is it that Biden voters are encouraged to understand an empathize with Trump voters but Trump voters are never asked to understand Biden voters?

What Biden supporters? I don't know any Biden supporters. Does anyone here know any Biden supporters? I'm voting for Biden because he's not a Republican, not because I support him.
Do you really think Biden won the election in 2016 because people liked him?
Depends on your definition of supporter. I voted for him in the primary. Didn't donate, put up a sign, wear a sticker, or base my life on him or his candidacy in any measurable way.
Yeah I mean...I generally think he's doing a pretty good job. I wouldn't say I am aligned to him much beyond that or I have any ideological attachment to the guy, but yeah he's at least helped steer away (mostly through appointing the right people to the right roles) from what could have been a pretty bad recession and his foreign policy handling of Russia and China particularly around Taiwan and Ukraine are aligned with my views. My only hesitation towards voting for him again is his age and I would prefer someone younger at this point who isn't likely to die on the job.
I’m a Biden supporter. He’s done a pretty good job for a moderate, in an extremely difficult political environment. He’s orders of magnitude better than other major contenders. Now that we’ve recovered somewhat from the dark ages, we just need to find a good liberal/progressive candidate to take the country forward
Do I have merch? Of course not. Do I idolize him? No. Do I think he’s perfect? Far from it. Do I salivate over his every utterance? Of course not. Would I follow him into tyranny? You’ve got to be kidding
i think you meant 2020 and, yes, he's got a cult following, especially on the fediverse who defend him no matter what and all of the exchanges start like this.
He doesn't have a cult following. I am an example of a Biden supporter and believe me it's like paper thin in terms of its depth. I think he's done a generally decent job, which is a far cry from what we had before him. We're not likely to get an alternative in 2024 so I would support him again, but prefer someone younger who shares similar views. I'm the guy everyone on all sides seems to hate: center left, or a right leaning liberal...sorry
You and me both
