A guy who had sucked ass in multiple previous presidential elections. A guy who had looked like shyt in the debates and who had been making nonsensical diversions and falsehoods in stump speeches. A guy who didn't even have the energy to campaign frequently and who didn't even want to because there was no enthusiast base for him anyway. A guy whose entire record was the polar opposite of the BLM energy sweeping the nation, whose entire persona was the opposite of the movement the young and the left (especially the young left black and brown) were feeling to actually change something in this country. But the establishment wanted him elected, so he got elected. Trump was fukking up the economy, fukking up with Covid, fukking up with BLM, and the vote-by-mail was a godsend for Democratic turnout. It should have been a fukking blowout.....and yet Biden barely squeaks through, badly underperforming compared to polling #'s. After all those advantages the election was basically a tossup - Biden won 4 out of 4 states decided by 1.1% or less, if Trump had won any 3 of them, the presidency would have been his.
Now Biden is having a hell of a time with the American people, in large part due to the same deficiencies that made it so hard for him to win presidential contests in the first place - he speaks poorly, makes lots of errors, brings no enthusiasm, and no one except for moderate establishment dems is convinced he's on their side.
