I don't consider Biden advocating radical change

So one can look for change without throwing the baby out with the bathwater or they are doing nothing more but supporting what they currently hate.
I'm not sure I'm following you, here. One, this isn't really a response to my post, rather a non sequitur to discussing the candidates themselves. Two, how are they supporting what they currently hate?
Democratic turnout was dismally low in 2016 because people weren't excited about Clinton. Biden, policy wise, is probably closest to Clinton out of the entire field. He isn't what the majority of the party wants right now. He isn't going to turn out new voters, he isn't going to excite previous voters. He isn't going to speak to the Obama-Trump voters that abandoned the Democratic party over their failure to pay attention to them. If anything, Biden has one of the highest chances of a repeat of 2016.
