Biden is more popular than Bernie by far, especially with black voters. Bernie only wins millenials and Gen z voters. The democratic primary showed this. People vote mostly not based on the candidates' policy, but on how they are, or how they are precieved to be.

Not always. It seems more common that people vote on party lines.

and do Democrats even like Biden or is it an anti-Trump thing? Some choice.

If turnout is much higher than how polls are weighted. Then I'd go against any predictions, same thing happens here.

Nope, there's more enthusiasm for Trump now than in 2016.

To be fair you are the most enthusiastic person I have seen. Even made the Daily Mail had a thing on you! You are one of my favourite people on this site since I signed up over 10 years ago.

If Trump loses he will probably retire to Scotland, so I'm in two minds about the result.

Yeah but at the same time, I think there are more people afraid to vote for Trump. To be honest, Biden isn't as horrible a person or candidate as Hillary was, so that's a problem for Trump.

People don't have to say who they are voting for. The polls would indicate that people are too afraid to say they would vote for Trump. It doesn't mean anything when it comes to the ballot box.
Joe Biden is even less appealing than Hillary and a weaker candidate, also mainly because of his VP choice. They will run Joe out ASAP if elected, and make Kamalah president.

That's what I'm hoping, for sure...

Didn't Clinton fail to win over the Sanders side of the Democrats who were basically a no-show last election? She fucked them off too much.

It's getting your voters out there for both sides.
