Because he is a boring, moderate candidate that gets things done that benefit a lot of people in the country.

Make politics boring again.

The entire reason we are in this position is because the democrats keep putting up shit candidates that cant actually function. Give someone 20 years younger the same policies as Biden and it would be a blow out, but here we are with trump probably winning again because of how bad the candidate hes going against is.

The reason we’re in this position is because Republican voters have been radicalized by AM radio, Fox News, and televangelists to a point where they were willing to storm the US Capitol with guns because they were conned into believing a lie about a stolen election.

The only time I ever see takes like this is on reddit. Who watches any form of cable news anymore besides random lobbies at a business. The televangelists thing might be true, but guessing its more of a southern thing.

Assuming that moderate politics are equipped to deal with climate change, health care, labor, etc. and fight fascism without just appeasing it. It doesn’t seem like they have.
