    Funny how this comment agreeing with the thesis of the piece is upvoted while the article itself is downvoted. I guess because this emphasizes the need to vote for Biden part while the article spends more time on his failings?

      It’s the Ozma/linkerbaan effect. Seemingly negative headline. Often opinion based, hyperbolic but pushed as news to attack biden. You got caught in the reflex. I tend to down vote them most times. But only after seeing how bad the post is. Every once in a while they might post something reasonable. But not everyone takes the time.
