@waitworry @farah I can't even accept that this could not be counteracted, because in 2020 Biden ran a platform saying "okay, we get it, we understand why you're angry and we're here to help." And he did so with NO EVIDENCE he could be trusted to keep his promises, and in fact a political track record of being reactionary/winger neoliberal swine who opposed all those things.
Result? Win, 81M votes, more than anyone had/has ever gotten in a presidential election.
