Biden appeals to most of the Democratic voters, which is why he is their candidate and why he won in 2020.
Unaffiliated voters expecting him to appeal to them specifically is on those voters, not the Dems.
It’s like people didn’t notice how the GOP shrank down to core fanatics and dems won by expanding the tent in their own party.
Now these people think the same level of ideological compromise that should define congress apparently has no place in their own party.
NEWSFLASH: if you refuse to participate unless your ideological purity test is met, you should prob go join the tea party.
Get over it and grow up. A capable, national political party will clearly include people other than you, viewpoints other than yours, and you won’t always get what you want.
Work with people instead of working selfishly against everyone not 100% aligned with your own mental utopia. Your purity test is not a reason to flip the table.
Except if the Democrats want to win.
So don't appeal to the Dem party voters, appeal to other people who have an extremely wide variety of expectations that apparently don't align with the Dems.
Sound logic!
If you want to win, you have to appeal to the majority of voters. That's how voting works... You can do that by energizing the base to overcome the middle or by appealing to the middle. If you pick a candidate that can't do either, don't expect to win.
"I don't like candidates like Biden that don't stand for anything, they just try to appeal to everyone and are too bland."
-the middle
Nice strawman you have there.
Based on a true story.
In that case, nice anecdote you have.
