Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton both fall under the label nostalgia candidate. The left, which is being sucked ever further leftward by its radical wing, paradoxically pines for a bygone, Obama-dominated era when Democrats tended to be somewhat more moderate in their views. Those days are over, though; Obama did much to damage the racial fabric of the country, and Donald Trump is the kind of man who would rather noisily flip the chessboard over than sit there and thoughtfully make his moves. Like it or not, this is no longer chess, and it's not even pro boxing: it's bare-knuckle, no-holds-barred kickboxing: all knees, elbows, and teeth. Calls for civility—which some of us on the sidelines do make from time to time—are basically a joke at this point, and if you're not a larger-than-life candidate, you're toast.
At the beginning of the above video, Tim Pool suggests that a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for "the chaos candidate." This is why one might vote Biden. Trump, with his outsider status and mercurial personality, was also called a chaos candidate, and it's been suggested that people in the mood for a radical paradigm shift voted for him in 2016 for just that reason. But now, almost four years later, Trump is a known quantity. He's not the chaos candidate anymore—at least, not in the originally intended sense. But neither is the soporific Biden, a man so uninspirational that he probably has trouble inspiring himself to eat dinner. Listen to the video as the crew discusses why Trump would definitely be a better president than Biden for the 2021-2025 term. They agree that Trump has a proven track record when it comes to the economy, and that counts for a lot: that counts for almost everything.
Joe Biden—chaos candidate? Nostalgia candidate, maybe, but certainly not chaos.
