I agree that a far left like Sanders would have made it a much more complicated race. I don't think he'd have been blown out, but it becomes a referendum on Trump mixed with a referendum on Socialism, and a lot of people choosing between the lesser of two evils.
I think there is a lot of sexism in the rust belt that would make a woman a risky bet.
Biden is the right choice for this particular race. Hopefully he restores some relationships with other countries, restores institutions, gets health care going in the right direction, climate issues in the right direction, gets us through COVID and passes it on to someone else after 4 years.

Yup. Biden should be able to hopefully get the right and the left to start talking to each other again as he's done in the past. A big part of his first term will be to bring America back to their normal.
