Irony in this comment. A lot of people claiming all antiBiden sentiment is Russian propaganda and this guy is also mistaken thinking this is Biden cabinet supporting him and not just regular people who are falling for politicians PR.
The thing you should understand about foreign propaganda is that it's not about pushing a specific political agenda. It's mostly about destabilizing a country by creating distrust in institutions.
Trump is overtly going along with the destabilization rhetoric so some foreign adversaries (like Russia) will promote him heavily. But other adversaries (like China and Iran) while wanting destabilization don't want to promote Trump because that could have a negative impact on them.
But all of these efforts have the common interest of making you hate your own government.
Some people haven't fallen for this propaganda and don't actually want their own country to fall apart. Voting for Joe Biden is best course of action towards improving the US. People who live in the US want their country and understand that Biden is improving their country. They understand Trump will make the US worse. The course is clear for those who don't hate their own government.
This nationalism that you are maybe by mistake promoting is a tool for people in power to give them more power and not unite together against them. Stabilization of a country you are talking about is unfortunately stability of the rich politicians to rule over poor people while they suffer and die. That is a stable system that we shouldn't defend. This system shouldn't be stable, it should crumble and people of all nations should unite in their fight against their politicians, not foolishly support their leaders just because they are from their own region.
Russian, Chinese and US government have more in common then any of their citizens do with their governments. Same goes for politicians inside a country, like Biden and Trump. They fight each other for more power, but they easily unite against people that threaten their power. Don't think for a second that if US citizens went against their government, Biden (or Trump) wouldn't ask for (and receive) support from Russian and Chinese government.
It is not US vs China or Russia, it is governments vs the people. Other narratives are just tools to divide people, nationalism was built for this purpose. For centuries regular people didn't feel like part of a certain nation, it was years of successful propaganda that got people thinking like they have more in common then just some same tyrant ruling over them.
