      I think a part of it comes from who Biden is. When I voted for Biden I hoped for three things

      1. Clown show to be over

      2. Small problems in government getting fixed

      3. At least one big improvement.

      So far he has given us two. His administration has been quitely making things run better in government and doing it in such a way as to not attract attention. You can’t really expect the news to dedicate a segment to pension reform when they have been at the all you can eat fest of blood in the water and -gates of 2016-2020. Even now Google news in private browsing mode shows me more results about the two frontrunners of the GOP nomination (16 months before the election) then it does of the man literally in the White House.

      It’s a bit sad that he doesn’t have the best odds of winning relection, mostly because of the total lack of showmanship. I wanted a dedicated civil servant and I got one, but only for 4 years.

        Agreed with the rest of your comment, but gotta disagree with this line. All signs seem to indicate that the general election will be a Biden / former guy rematch. And Biden’s already beaten him once.

        To be clear, not saying victory is guaranteed or even likely, it’s going to be a long, hard slog between here and election day. But I wouldn’t count Biden out just yet, not by any means.
