I have no interest in comparing Biden to Trump. That's an incredibly low bar that Biden easily meets, and it has no bearing on my vote in November, which will be for anyone that isn't Trump.

I'm comparing Biden with my expectations for an adult white person in 2020. I'm destined to disappointment, we have such a long way to go (myself included).
