The two words you hear most often to describe the Biden campaign are “normalcy” and “nostalgia.” Are they accurate?
As to “normalcy,” absolutely. Biden voters want to rid themselves of Trump’s divisiveness, corruption, and incompetence, but they aren’t demanding the “revolution.” They just want a quiet life with less drama and some incremental change. That’s what he brings to the table. If socialist millennials don’t like it, what are they going to do? Vote for Trump?
As to “nostalgia,” not so much. There is a judgment implicit in the word which suggests that Biden’s repeated statements about bipartisanship are unrealistic and out of date. In reality, if any significant legislation is going to get through the system, with the possible exception of a tax bill, a degree of bipartisanship is going to be required. And if that is a long shot, is the alternative of the “revolution” more plausible?
The upshot of it is that “nostalgia” is actually “realism.” And that’s just fine with me.
