2021 had very few people because of corona
Just another day of Biden supporters repeating claims trump supporters used to make.
Biden didn't get elected because people wanted him to be president, he got elected because in the general he was the only option not named trump.
Expecting him to draw a crowd like 08 Obama is just ridiculous
They actively discouraged people from coming because of corona. That's why it isn't comparable.
Also it was weeks after January 6th, security was high and I'm sure everyone who was there was on edge imagining a crazy MAGA supporter with a gun or a bomb.
Man if only there was some word for using violence to instill fear in political opponents.
Oh well.
But even without that stuff, Biden never had what Obama had in 08.
People travelled from all over, it was a huge deal and people were literally celebrating in the streets nationwide.
Some of that was because we getting rid of GW, but most of it was excitement about Obama.
In 2020 there wasn't excitement from anyone, just relief.
OK... Nobody claimed he would have anything like what Obama had.
But the biggest factor for turnout was still covid.
It's weird that you're turning this into some sort of "man look at blue maga here!" thing.

To be fair, in 2008 Obama and Hillary Clinton were viable candidates (despite not being a white Christian rich man) because the US public was really tired of Republican shennanigans, and of the Bush administration specifically. While McCain seemed reasonable Sarah Palin was scary and the McCain campaign took its cues from the ur-Maga Karl Rove / Tea-Party Republican talking points, who were only onto public benefits if no-one else got them.
Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize for simply not being
TrumpBush and admitted as much it was rather silly when he promised to work to rise to the level of deserving it.Sadly, Obama retained a lot of Bush policies and was more neoliberal than we needed.
I really thought after Bush, we'd never vote for a Republican president again, nor would we allow one to win by the EC. I was wrong and the US paid for it dearly. So I'm really sore and bitter about the whole affair.

Do you mean Bush here? He got the prize in 2009, Trump wasn't even politically active for another 6 years.
Yes. Fixed!
