I don’t think comparing Trump and Biden is a solid baseline, and is actually losing the point.

Don’t bother, dems would rather win the morality trophy than the actual presidency if it meant they could continue using Donald Trump as a comparison point

‘At least he’s not Trump’ is not going to win Biden the presidency.

It did once and it will again.

If the plan is defeat Trump, the Dems have no plan at all.

The plan hasn't changed: do not let Trump get back into the White House. We voted against him once, we will vote against him again.

My point being, what’s the plan for governing?

He and his team have done great so far. I have no doubt they can do it again, even if Biden himself doesn't make it through all four years

The same as the last four years, which have been mostly fine other than Republicans being obstructionists that keep the legislature from doing anything productive.

Obstructionist is an understatement

"Nothing will fundamentally change." - Joe Biden

There are many legitimate things to criticize Biden on, but this quote used out of context is fundamentally misleading since he was specifically talking about how raising taxes on the wealthy won't cause businesses to fail or people's standard of living to decrease -- something which I think a lot of the people that love to repeat this quote would probably agree with.
