15. There aren't any legitimate allegations of corruption against Biden.

All of the most salacious allegations, Burisma and China (which are actually around Hunter Biden) are made up by right wingers and there is no legitimacy whatsoever.

I am not advocating "guilt or innocence" on these next issues. For my part, though Biden was not my first choice, I will be supporting him enthusiastically.

Here is some other information:

Some concern from the "left" is that Biden is too moderate and pro business. He was the Senator from Delaware, which is home to many large financial corporations. Some people think that Biden was too cozy with Credit Card companies and big finance.

Other things that have been leveled at Biden was his part in the confirmation of Clarence Thomas, or more accurately, his behavior toward Anita Hill. That, and his role in the crime bill which some blame for the continued mass incarceration of Black people.

The problem with criticisms coming from the right is that people have heard very few facts and have been provided a narrative that is not accurate but usually repeated and it appeals to emotion rather than logic.

Criticisms from the further left may have more accuracy, but are often based on purity and a general critique of capitalism as the economic system is seen as the root cause of many problems.
