The people were fed up with same same. Hillary was the extension of that current establishment.
People had an "affair" with Trump.
By that I mean, in an affair you are attracted to the 10% that is lacking from your current girlfriend government.
But in doing that, you risk losing the 90% you took for granted. (which is what happened).
A lot of people wanted the gov shaken up. A lot of people were not prepared for the level of shaking. A lot of people ought to be sorry, but I'm not holding my breath. Given the chump's skill at bankrupting businesses, I just hope he doesn't bankrupt the US as well.
I think part of that is right. A lot of people want the government shaken up, but the way Trump shook things up isn't what we wanted. We're tired of the same ol' status quo and we want change. Trump may have many flaws (understatement of the year), but he's not the same old politician the country is used to. Hillary was. So is Biden, for that matter. The last time the democrats paid any attention to that desire was in 2008 when Obama won the election. They need to go back there.
I honestly think Biden might lose. Yeah, I think he's better than Trump (who isn't?) but he's still same ol, status quo Joe. Warren, Yang and Sanders all would have been change. Even Pete Buttigieg would have been a change, even if it was a change in identity and not too much change in policy. Lots of potential 'change' candidates the democrats had to choose from and they turn them all down.
