"Not Trump" isn't a pathetic position, it's a smart one. There's plenty of Republicans that don't like Trump (See 43% Haley in NH yesterday), and getting into specifics will only remind them that "Not Trump" is a liberal commie Democrat.
If you want to know what Biden is running on other than that, you can find it here:

Weird, I don't see record oil production there. Record as in more than any country to ever exist.
That's a nice list. Let's see what Democrats actually do in office.
Oh what's that? Sit on their hands and complain about how Republicans won't play nice?
Again, pathetic party.
A lot of people are confused about this kind of thing and appear to imagine that winning an election means that you get to do everything you want. It doesn't. All it means is that you can try and get some of the things you want done, and you better choose them wisely because you have limited political capital and a set window of time. That's just the way it is, especially in such a polarized country. A better way to view political accomplishments is through the lens of what's actually possible as opposed to what you really want. It's childish to think otherwise.
Our country is basically in a low-level mostly non-violent state of civil war and people are crying because Biden can't or won't give them everything they want? Really? WTF is wrong with you? The plane is about to crash into the fucking mountain! All the lights are flashing bright red! We either come together and stop this thing or we're all going to be in for a very bad time.
This is how democracies die. We either unite and stand together, or we'll all "hang" separately.
That was a quick shift away from "Democrats don't have a platform"
They don't have a real platform. You have to fight for your positions, not give them up before anything is even in committee.
When they CONSTANTLY pretend Republicans are acting in good faith when they are not, how is someone with a functioning brain going to expect them to deal with reality? They cannot even see how they're being manipulated on the daily.
Democrats are useful idiots for Republicans. Little more.
