The belief that Biden has a better chance of beating Trump matters more to some Dems than disagreements that they may have with him on some policy positions. I am one of those Dems who strongly support Biden but disagree with his position on Marijuana. I'm hopeful the party platform will resolve that issue for Dems.

Glad to see his achievements come to the forefront where he's receiving a nod and appreciation for a long, distinguished career. Maybe this will quell some of the nonsense accusations running around.
