Agree...Why go up against the most loved, revered and respected president in modern American history? I believe they used him as a spike strip in an attempt to stop Trump. A predictable colossal fail.

Note also that 2016 polls showed a double-digit blowout for Hillary, so Dem voters felt comfortable voting 3rd party, figuring Hillary would win anyway, but also that the Dems were too right-wing and needed to be sent a message only a vote for the Greens could deliver. That 4% third party vote in 2016 swung back to 2% in 2020. Joe Biden has few virtues but chief among them is his likeability, at least compared to Hillary, or Trump.
