Had a lot to do with people voting more conservatively than they would with less fears about the economy and the coronavirus (which the current administration has proven itself to be scarily inept at addressing).

He's great with a teleprompter and good writers. He clearly has physical energy and he can be charismatic when the words and message are given to him. But yes, no real platform. I think depending on whether centrists are sick of Trump and want a safe alternative, Biden can still win. But I think Sanders would have been a much bigger win for the middle class, young people, and progressives that want more than to undo what Trump is done but address root evils.
