5. What does hopping on the "diss Biden" bandwagon buy Dems?

I’m sick of it. It does the party and the country absolutely no good when they make statements like that, especially when Biden had one of the most successful administrations and countrywide recovery. Biden deserves credit and praise for what he accomplished after Trump&Co torched the place with their greed and incompetence.
