Biden styled himself as the antithesis to bare-knuckled Trumpism - and won

Joe Biden had characterized his campaign for the White House as a “battle for the soul of the nation” against Donald Trump, a president he said threatened the very foundation of American democracy.

Now, four years after Americans elected a real estate developer-turned reality TV star with no political experience, they have elected a former US senator and vice-president with nearly 50 years of political experience.

Democrats agonized and strategized over how to beat a candidate as unconventional and unpredictable as Trump. The answer, Biden showed, was a completely conventional and predictable campaign.

Despite a year of historic upheaval – a pandemic that has killed more than 227,000 Americans, economic turmoil, social unrest, the death of a supreme court justice, a briefly hospitalized president – the race remained remarkably stable towards the end, and polling correctly predicted a Biden victory, though by a narrower margin than anticipated.

I think after Trump's chaos people would rather have stable predictability.

I’m so tired of people in the media portraying Trump as this hard-nosed, tough-as-nails business executive instead of a weak, whiny, spineless, cowardly loser.
