And the states given strategic importance in the Dem primaries mostly don't vote for Dems in the general anyway, so it gives a pretty skewed (but more electable? who knows) take.
But after he was the nominee, I and I'm sure I am far from alone figured we would rather have whatever was the Dem machine running things than Trump. Even if Biden ran little, Dem machine versus Trump. So it never was really about Biden at all. Now did I anticipate they would do a better job than they have? Well yes, in terms of basic competence (not some super high expectation), I expected the Dem machine to do better, but we definitely didn't have that with Trump either.
