This is kind of where I'm at. Biden is a rubber stamp for anything Pelosi and a hypothetical Senate want to put together. It may not be the ideal, but there is the potential for some massive, necessary changes to our institutions and social apparatuses.
Then again, this reasoning got me called, derisively, an "incrementalist" by one of my coworkers the other day even though I'm not endorsing it, just saying that it's a reality we may have to make the best of.
This is pretty much just human culture. Yes, republicans and other right-wing movements are often more blatant, even proud, of it and often oppose ideas so fundamental that it should be outright shameful but anti-intellectualism among progressive movements ain't exactly sacrosanct. Sure, they can be correct that nuclear power isn't perfect, but it's a damned sight better than our dominant systems now and the panic instilled by nuclear is an actual threat. Likewise, GMO opposition is largely rooted in the political left, and legitimately hurts people on a global basis while also ignoring all science.
On a totally different note, since Trump's "Sleepy Joe" nickname came up earlier, I vote for Biden outright embracing it and using a new Springsteen song as his theme. Worked in 2012...
