Biden definitely got the most votes
but it wasn’t because Biden spoke to the people and won our hearts over.
Whoever won the Dem nom was getting a shit ton of votes because Trump was the worst President in our lifetime
we partying on okp but only 2 or 3 people were actually excited to vote for Biden when the first poll was released on here. Tulsi had more support on here than Joe.

9. "He can argue he wasnt transformative" In response to Reply # 7
But to use the term "historically bad" is absolutely laughable. In my opinion Clinton was a much worse candidate and i wouldnt even call her historically bad. Biden been in the game for a minute, was Obamas VP, and came out of retirement specifically to take down Trump. He is literally one of the most successful victors in American history. Transformative, no. He's an old white man. I cant imagine anyone asking "hey, who holds the record for the most votes in American history?" and the answer including any form of the term "historically bad."
People underestimate Biden's ability to draw Republicans into voting for him, which flipped almost every battleground state from Trump to Biden.

While I wouldn’t call him “historically bad” I don’t think he was anything special.
Definitely thought he was the perfect candidate for old racist white people in rural areas.

8. "LOL a historically bad candidate ?! Have you studied american history ?" In response to Reply # 1
He wasn't a great candidate and certainly wasn't my choice for the dem ticket ... but he's FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR from historically bad. Objectively.
It’s undeniable that he benefitted from opposing a guy as unfathomably toxic as Trump.
From the primary, where Biden won based off of name recognition and experience, all the way to the general, where he ran a generic campaign built on platitudes and not a lot of policy...he won because people wanted a return to normal. He’s been a politician for 50 years, he didn’t rouse excitement. He was victorious because he WASN’T tantalizing or polarizing in any way. In a typical election cycle, someone that uninspiring would’ve been rooted out with a swiftness.
Speaking from my own experience, he got my family’s vote because he wasn’t Trump, that’s it. I don’t think he’s going to recruit more poor rural voters to grow the party, I don’t think he’s going to hold Wall Street accountable (he’s already brought in many big bank vultures in his cabinet even) , I dont think he’ll have reservations about taking us into another Middle Eastern conflict. These are a few of the tenants that the Democrats should lean on to really position themselves as an alternative in the future.
And why should I think otherwise? If he’s positioning himself as Obama 2, and Obama didn’t do any of those things, why would I expect something different?
I’d love to be proven wrong though.
I think he won’t embarrass us in the eyes of our international peers. And I do think he’ll successfully navigate us out of this pandemic with way more focus and calm than his predecessor and right now that’s most important.
>I HOPE Biden/Harris actually do some shit to make people want >to vote for them again next election
im voting democrat until a better option is viable (that will never be republican) but plenty of people wont if they dont see meaningful change moving forward.
27. "he'd have won in a landslide" In response to Reply # 23
if he'd have handled covid correctly
i think the only thing that may have helped him politically were all the protests. it gave him a narrative of saying they're destroying our cities, is this what you want? it scared enough white people to not completely dip, but still hardly enough to win.
>If Trump had managed to handle it with some semblance of >giving a damn he probably would have won

13. "I did something for me by successfully baiting Tiger Woods" In response to Reply # 11 Wed Jan-06-21 12:06 PM by c71
And....
Y'all seem to be successfully doing something for Tiger Woods to keep him from having to come back to respond to me (and several others to his reply #1)
Too bad
I could have baited a couple of others too, if y'all didn't cover for Tiger Woods (he don't have to continue to respond to "gibberish" I guess - but he was probably embarrassed by my first reply to him, anyway)
12. "he didn't really ask a question, but" In response to Reply # 0
he the premise of the op is: folks voted for biden because of trump, hence it was easy to vote for him. when its time for the re-up, will you vote for him in 2024.
he writes in riddles. lol
to respond, who knows? can we even see what he'll do first?
30. "part of the result is getting away from trump." In response to Reply # 28
there's a ton of value in that alone. we'll just have to wait and see how biden's term plays out.
I'm sure some will have buyers remorse, but I think that's the case with every guy who has been voted in, to some degree.
as others have stated, I don't think he's running. he'll be 100 in president years by then. so folks will be watching Kamala more closely through 2024.

>came back, and the whole point of this post. > > >If you voted for Biden, and he hasn't even been inaugurated >yet, why the backing off? > >I'll post links of the backing off replies
Is it backing of if they were never enthusiastic about voting for Biden ?

Which is great for him if/when he's proven to be right about, uh, whatever the fuck the actual point here was.
Once that happens, he can bask in the glow of all those imaginary GOTCHABITCH! points.
But for all those links, I'm still waiting to see if he has a link to a version of this post that doesn't read like it was written by a Russian spam bot.

Right. I hope he is winning this imaginary argument he's having.
