I love the photo they used to accompany the article. It really screams superfan energy.
Two dozen? That many?
In interviews with nearly two dozen of these Democrats — many of them older, and most of them women — they sounded by turns beleaguered, bewildered and protective. “I’m sorry Joe doesn’t know how much I love him, but I do love Joe,” said Constance Wynn, 73, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. “I don’t even know why people want to pester the man, because the man has things to do.”
More from Biden's young folks supporters.
“He came out of retirement to save the country, save our democracy, a fight for the soul of our nation — he didn’t have to run for president,” Mr. Galban said. “He made it his mission to take our country back from Donald Trump.”
A Philly lawn sign guy
Some of Mr. Biden’s biggest supporters, unsurprisingly, are in Philadelphia politics. He was born in Scranton, Pa., and Jill Biden is a Philadelphia sports fan. The president has visited the city frequently since taking office.
Jim Donnelly, the leader of the 58th Ward, in the city’s conservative-leaning northeast, said he had at least seven Biden signs on his front lawn. He has gotten into fights with his neighbors who have vandalized or stolen them.
Aside from cops, firefighters and his barber, he said, “Everybody I talk to loves Joe Biden.” Among his reasons for supporting Mr. Biden, he listed the president’s well-known friendliness to train conductors, his foreign policy experience and his record of job creation.
The end of the article
Ms. Russell, the Biden backer on Earp Street in Philadelphia, said there was only one thing she would change about Mr. Biden — the flip of white hair on the back of his neck, which sometimes sticks out over his suit collar. “It drives me nuts,” she said. “Just trim it!”
I meant that the author choose the wrong people to interview. Sure, there needs to be lots of middle aged or old people because they are most likely superfans. But the article's vibe is the editor wanted to get readers off his back so he decided to publish a quickie article written by a halfwit who did the article with little or no thought. He grabbed some randos who said they loved Biden and interviewed them.
To me - none of them seemed to be actually passionate - with the exception of the young weirdo. The author could have contacted a reddit sub (r/neoliberal) or whatever and interviewed them too. People like them are Biden's real superfans.
