Well, the backlash made me cogitate further …is it just me?
To which a quick google reveals a resounding “No.” Indeed, so undeniably boring is Biden that his supporters even try to turn it into a positive trait.
“Vote Biden and make the Presidency boring again” – declares a Chicago Sun Times headline
“Our elected officials were never meant to be celebrities or cult figures who demanded our undying attention and adoration. Presidential elections weren’t meant to be four-year-long events that bleed seamlessly into one another. Our psychological wellbeing shouldn’t be dependent on who is in office.”
Even CNN declares only slightly more cryptically “Make America Relaxed again”
"That line captures how a lot of people feel," said a Biden aide. "You want to be able to pick up your phone in the morning and not be outraged or scared, you want a government that works."
DNC: Trump makes politics exciting — but terrifying. Democrats bore — but govern.
And GBH comes up with “Biden’s Predictable Choice Of Running Mate Continues His Anti-Attention Campaign”
In fact apparently he’s so boring he’s been known for years by the moniker “Sleepy Joe”…
But surely no one this boring can actually win a national electoral campaign?
Oh well it worked for John Major…
