, all without rocking the boat. They don’t want a revolution, as Biden is eager to remind the American people. They want a return to business as usual, as inadequate and precarious as business may have been pre-2016 and will continue to be even if Biden wins in November: covid-19 promises that any semblance of normality will be hard to find for the foreseeable future.
But Biden, more than anything, is promising a return to Obama. This is why much of the electability argument aroundthird-term Obama never had into a reality. A vote for Uncle Joe doubles as a vote to turn back the clock, to the last time Democrats were around to clean up a Republican’s mess.
Obama was an icon from the start, pumped with meaning—both deserved and premature—and immediately launched to hero status in many households. His broad grin and family portraits grace the mantles, walls, and bookcases of countless black Americans of a certain age, nestled right alongside photos of their own kin. In my parents’ home there are multiple photos of young Sasha and Malia with Barack, Michelle, and their dog Bo right alongside my class pictures and photos of my high school soccer team.
No one wants Biden, we don't need to turn back the clock we need new vision forward.

It’s like a vague pop song where people can fit what they want into the vagueness and resonate and be excited about it
