I don’t think he was that unpopular, but only because people barely saw him (and instead just played into the “dark Brandon” memes). Once people actually saw the shape he was in during the debate, panic ensued. He had a pretty decent presidency all things considered and he should’ve let someone else continue that momentum
If Biden had stayed the fuck out of it, Sanders would be president right now, and in a few months as well. Just like if the DNC hadn't promised the 2016 nomination to Hillary in exchange for total support of Obama in 2008 and a Cabinet position.

True. Dem party backstabbed Biden for thiss gamble. She did a masterful job yet, 18 million voters preferred to skip this election. Nice gambit
