Your question may be rhetorical, but it's a pandemic, and people want more to vote for than just being against something.Biden didn't campaign enough, win or lose.
Also, not that many people even voted at all. That's a huge problem. If Trump is so bad, why did 50 percent of the country stay home?
Biden/Harris ran their campaign as if we WEREN'T in a pandemic and recession. Congress has been in recess and people are getting evicted and starving out here. People are fukking tied of politicians playing political theater over Covid Relief Bills while we are sick and dying. I don't want to cave into populism, but the left honestly needed a populist to landslide Trump tonight.
I mean Trump has mismanaged this pandemic from day 1 and Trump HAS COST AMERICAN LIVES, and he's still getting votes tonight. It really speaks not only to the stupidity of many Trump voters, but also to the fact that the Democrats haven't offered hardly anything of substance in the way of policy positions that will help most working class Americans.
People don't want to get sick and I think a lot of them stayed home because Biden/Harris and the DNC didn't give them enough of a reason to go out and vote. People can say whatever they want, and I'm a Democrat, but I'll call it when my team can do much better. MASSIVELY POPULAR policy positions like Medicare For ALL (EIGHTY SEVEN PERCENT favorability among registered Democrats) did not get support from Biden/Harris, and they didn't talk enough about COVID Relief, Marijuana decriminalization, etc.
Also I'll keep it a buck on this too. Democrats are a little bit too hard on gun control. If they chilled just a little bit on some of their gun control positions they'd flip WAY more votes.
