what are you seeing in terms of on-line support for Joe Biden? [View all]

outside of DU, i'm getting a really lousy vibe

yesterday i tried to watch a youtube video of a Biden remote presser/town hall kind of thing from 6 days ago, apparently it had been webcast via youtube. the side-chat was 95% anti-Biden, full of hostility and MAGA-trolling. i wish i could say it's not representative, maybe Bernie's reluctance to endorse Biden is costing us, but right now as far as i can tell, the enthusiasm is almost all with Trump.

i get that Biden polls a popular vote lead of 8%+ but i'm not seeing any evidence of it in the culture so far. i look at any comment section for a Biden video, and it's simultaneously embarrassing and terrifying. the likes vs dislikes count is way disproportionate. i don't think the lies and agitprop are going to diminish as the year goes on, either.

and in the videos i've seen, Joe isn't energetic. he's coming across as calm, sincere, and competent, but it's coming across as boring. he's going to be up against a reality tv star, he'll need to over-perform to get any coverage at all.

if i didn't know better, i'd say we have a PR problem. but hell, maybe i'm just looking in the wrong places.
