I'm convinced Biden is just a muppet/puppet not actually running things or deciding on things.
I don't think people voting for him are necessarily dumb.
A large part just want to hear a leader say nice things as it makes them feel comfortable to continue with their lives.
If the media reacts nicely at the same time then we are onto a winner.
I get that. Biden has been doing that same spiel for decades. He says things whichever direction the wind blows.
There are little principles over a long timeframe as many of the things he now says are often direct opposites of his mantra from a few decades ago (race stuff / gay marriage / border stuff etc).
I watched some of Razorfists's coverage of the (absolute) State of the union address.
It was pretty funny.
Razor said you could have put Mein Kampf on the teleprompter and Joe would probably just have read it without noticing what's going on.
Pretty clear that people in the house have to stand and clap at certain points and that this is co-ordinated as at least a few times what Joe said was completely incomprehensible and no reason to get excited about.
