I'm going to try to be concise when I say this. Broadly speaking, especially in studying Israel-Palestine and Ukraine-Russia, I try not to take politicians at their word because sometimes they just say stuff to say stuff. I understand that. But broadly speaking, I'm going to look at the rhetoric and the actions, and I am going to grade them the same.

But sometimes when I look at these polls, when you start to disaggregate them by party, I wonder if it's actually is Biden historically divisive or I'm trying to think of a really polite way to say this.
