No candidate in modern history personally campaigned harder than Trump and less than Biden.

Biden's campaign was simplicity itself. He had lost all early primaries but one - a state he lost in the general election. He didn't hold even 1 press conference and his campaign was simple. Early in the Democratic primary - him losing states - he met with a group of billionaires promising not to change things in ways that would affect their wealth accumulation. Biden then basically went home for the entire election season.

Instantly, the richest people and corporations on earth declared on the television stations, newspapers and Big Tech on the Internet declared Biden would be the Democratic Party's candidate - refusing coverage of any other Democratic candidate - and then attacked Trump incessantly primarily with "unnamed sources said" - often proven lies and never confirmed.

For example, to this day not one person confirmed Trump calling our troops "losers" and everyone present said it never happened - but it was declared fact by the billionaire's propaganda outlets. To the contrary, Biden is on video calling our military personnel actively in a combat theater "dull slow stupid bastards" - which was ignored claiming that it is a funny joke to insult the troops.


Promise Jeff Bezos you won't raise his taxes or cause him problems, and Bezos will have WaPo attack Trump incessantly every day. Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerman he will not upset their massive new wealth accumulation, and they'll even ban Trump supporters for Biden.

Is the Biden campaign tactic of promise the richest people in the world whatever they want and doing nothing else since they control all information outlets the future of politics? I think it is. A very small group of the super rich control all information flow and all propaganda outlets. Why even bother with the peasants because they'll do whatever television tell them to do?

Is campaigning only to the richest corporations and people - while essentially ignoring everyone else - the future of politics?
 
Answer should be obvious to anyone with an I.Q. above double digits. How 'any given' candidate will campaign in the future will depend on the candidate, and what he/she thinks will be the best approach to winning while campaigning at that time. Any other response is sheer speculation.

Not to mention, oh I don’t know....

Worldwide & National Pandemic!!!

So yeah - different approach, but with an intelligent and reasonable explanation.
 
I agree with the OP in part. Especially when adding Harris to the equation. Talking about rejection? Not only did her own party send her packing after Telsey owned her, but that 61% 0f voters in California wanted her to withdraw when she was running for POTUS

An explanation that history tells us is not true
 
What exactly is not true?
That Covid was the reason for Biden being MIA during the campaign. However, the Biden camp used Covid to their political advantage. A calculated risk that paid off.
 
There are many reasons that Biden did not have to campaign near as intently, and MSM or left leaning wealth helping him is way down on the list. Up at the top of the list though was sitting back and watching Trump further make a mess of things.
 
I definitely think that if the world is going through a pandemic in the future and there is a presidential campaign at least one of the candidates will have a brain.

So Trump insulted and alienated everybody and their brother during his four years in office- people in cities, people in suburbs, people on the coasts, educated people and academics, a POW, a handicapped person, scientists, doctors, journalists, generals and CEOs, other Republicans, religious minorities, ethnic minorities, the LGBTQ community, etc, etc.... They were literally selling T-shirts with “F your feelings” at his rallies.

And you think he lost the election because of Jeff Bezos? LOL.

Trump supporters absolutely refuse to believe trump was his own worst enemy. He just couldn't stop spitting his venom and hatred on a daily basis.
 
It's the past.

You have to stop listening to those conservative talk shows, Joko.

It's too hard to tell if less campaigning is a winning strategy. I think 2020 was an anomaly in many ways, so I will wait and see in the next presidential election to even form an opinion.
 
1. I have read that in the 19th century, Presidential candidates just sat on the porch of their homes and people came to listen to them.

2. Mr. Biden is exceptional because the 2020 election was unique. The elite decided that it would not tolerate The Donald for another four years, so they did not care who the candidate was or what he did or what he said. He could have literally not said a word, and the elite would have still turned out those (reputed) 80,000,000 voters.

3. Some impartial observers feel that the Dems will now become the permanent party in power because of "demographic" changes. Some people feel that the Republicans might as well disband. American "democracy" has finally ended. Many documented & undocumented immigrants come from de facto dictatorships, so they won't care.

Is this a right wing conspiracy theory or something you came up with all by yourself?

The elite turned out 80 million votes for Biden?

I feel sorry for those who live in such a delusional state.

Biden won the nomination for one reason and one reason only. Bernie was in the lead and Americans woke up to the fact that they were completely and totally terrified of Bernie's socialism. Biden was the only one who could defeat the socialist Bernie so Democratic voters rallied around the only person who could stop socialism.

Yeah, too bad we elected the guy with so much empty space in his skull, he could rent out space.
 
Biden didn't really need to campaign in the traditional sense. Every time Trump opened his mouth, Biden got more votes. All he needed to do was stay calm and smile.

Trump lost because he is a despicable human being and many of his most ardent supporters were utterly despicable people as evidenced by the events of 1/6/2021.

And no, I am not saying that every Trump supporter is a despicable human being, far from it. However, you look at the most die hard Trump supporters out there, and Hillary called it right 5 years ago when she called them a basket of deplorables.
 
Nope, Trump lost because the Dems succeeded in making a lot of voters hold him responsible for Covid deaths, despite a total lack of evidence that they could have done better.
 
Yeah, too bad we elected the guy with so much empty space in his skull, he could rent out space.
yeah, aggressively attacking COVID after the last guy gave up (while spending a ton of him time insulting, tweeting or golfing) is a real bummer.

Don’t leave out “getting the vaccine made more quickly than ever before.” Some Dems probably hoped the vaccine would fail so they’d have another talking point against Trump.
