More clear now of course but i am surprised political scientists and pundits did not focus on how shallow Biden's support ever was. He was merely a vessel to beat Trump among most of those who voted for him. No Biden stans.
My theory: because he was such a "party regular" he never really had a faction of die hard supporters. But then again being a "regular" and broadly acceptable was what led him to win the nomination in 2020 in many ways. It's the two sides of the same coin.
Great piece that highlights the complexity of presidential politics using the lens of Aristotle's ideas of tragedy. Though Lilly Goren is focusing on POTUS tragedy, I wonder whether Hillary is also a tragic figure and whether Aristotle (generally lacking in insights with regard to gender) has insights there.
