The anti-biden Dems need an answer to this poll result. The poll shows, AGAIN, that the Dem party is not a leftist party. It is a center left party. When you add up all the votes.
Wanting a hard left person like Sanders or Warren gets the loud young ones all excited, but it will likely depress turnout among the heart of the party: moderate people who don't want the crazy anymore in politics.
Add this to all the moderate election wins (yeah ok except HRC) and the picture should be clear: At this point, sanders or warren would be a huge mistake. It would get Rs excited, it would push Indies to the right, and the guts of the D party would be worried.

I am not sure why you would want to label some as "anti-Biden".
Maybe someone can simply prefer someone else without being opposed to Biden.
I prefer Warren.
Biden is about 5th on my list of choices which puts him in my top 20%.
I am going with the candidate I like over any safe choice.
In the 2016 primaries (I voted for Hillary over Bernie) Bernie beat Hillary in WI and MI.
And who knows how OH, PA and FL would have turned with Bernie against Trump since that election was a hate-fest against Hillary.
At the Democrat Convention, there was a big Bernie crowd there booing the whole time.
Look at this Bernie rally from 2016 where he endorses Clinton.
They cheer when he says we have to beat Donald Trump.
They Boo strongly when he says they have to elect Hillary Clinton.
