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?

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
