That is so sad. It's the battle of the groping, morally compromised, mentally unfit old farts. The race to the bottom. While Biden is the least vile choice he is not much of an improvement on Trump, assuming he can beat Trump given the gerrymandering and assuming there will even be any more elections after Donnie declares Martial Law and installs his Dynasty.
Gerrymandering is only a concern for the House of Representatives. For the Senate and Presidency, it's all full state vote.
As for Trump's approval ratings, yeah, it's higher, but if this is his rally around the flag, it's pretty pathetic.

Sanders out. Biden is the candidate for the Democratic Party.
Normally I would say: "Congratulations Donnie". Because no way in hell is Biden gonna beat Trump in a regular election. But this one is different of course. I would expect the country (USA) to stand behind their President, no matter what. That's what patriots do (no matter how dumb). It was the main reason GW Bush won his second election.
But the corona-virus also gives Trump huge opportunities. Huge opportunities to fuck up. To fuck up bigly. To fuck up so bigly, nobody has ever seen before. I have no doubt Trump is gonna let many people die. He's gonna blame it on everybody else ("I take no responsibility"). He's gonna enrich himself. He's gonna enrich his buddies. Maybe the governors and local politicians can control the damage a bit. But the Republican states are gonna be a clusterfuck. And it's gonna explode before November. So really, I don't know what will happen in November. Maybe Biden wins.
My best scenario: Biden appoints a (relatively) young, fresh, competent, unknown Democrat as his running mate. Biden wins in November. Get inaugurated in January. Then catches covid-19 in Februari. He is hit so hard (lung damage, etc), that he gives up his presidency in March. (He doesn't need to die, I got some compassion). The young, fresh, competent vice-president becomes president. USA is saved.
One can hope.
I knew there was no way in hell Sanders would ever be nominated. I didn't expect him to willingly quit this early.

I'd have thought Biden would have this in the bag after Trump's continuous screwups re: coronavirus, but with Trump's approval ratings inexplicably high, I don't know anymore.
The theory someone gave me is because there's a lot of people stuck at home, watching the press conferences live for the first time, who haven't actually seen him speak in real time before and have just seen sound clips.
Current economic-based models (that correctly predicted a Trump win 2016) are forecasting a narrow Trump victory.

Just spoke to my friend MBS (Crown Prince) of Saudi Arabia, who spoke with President Putin of Russia, & I expect & hope that they will be cutting back approximately 10 Million Barrels, and maybe substantially more which, if it happens, will be GREAT for the oil & gas industry!
MBS is one scuzzy dude. Incidentally he's a second degree connection of mine as I've got a friend in NJ who the last time I met him whipped out his phone had selfies of himself partying with MBS. I didn't get the impression he trusts MBS in the slightest and just needs the business relationship.
We do both agree that the "journalist" they killed was almost certainly a spy and that there are some obviously shady circumstances surrounding how MBS came to power.

Well gerrymandering and all the other methods of voter suppression and fraud that the GOP freely practices.

Didn't you vote for him in the 2016 primary?

HE was my candidate even against trump up until the minute he decided to suck a penis and endorse Hillary. keep in my my ONLY reason for supporting him at the time was that I thought he could get us out of the stupid endless wars we are in

Plus, he was pretty lax on gun regulation, though that's changed somewhat over the last 4 years.
It's a damn crying shame we can't have a perfect candidate, huh?

President Best Brain shares his insights about the Coronavirus:

“They develop drugs, like the antibiotics, you see it — antibiotics used to solve every problem. Now, one of the biggest problems the world has is the germ has gotten so brilliant that the antibiotic can't keep up with it, and they're constantly trying to come up with a new. People go to a hospital and they catch — they go for a heart operation, that's no problem, and they end up dying from, from problems. You know the problems I'm talking about. There's a whole genius to it. We're fighting — not only is it hidden, but it's very smart. It's invisible and it's hidden, but it's very smart.”
