5. I've wondered that too.

I remember seeing some program recently where a pundit was talking about the black community’s support of Biden. She made a point that younger black voters are not as keen on Biden as those in older generations. I wonder if Biden has not said or done quite enough to support the goals of Black Lives Matter. I don’t recall that he has said a lot about what he would change, other than he does not support the move to defund police departments.

Some of the disapproval could also be coming from the younger Bernie supporters who want much more change. I think most of Bernie’s supporters will vote for Biden, though, because the alternative of Trump means no change at all and lots of destruction.
