2021 had very few people because of corona

Just another day of Biden supporters repeating claims trump supporters used to make.

Biden didn't get elected because people wanted him to be president, he got elected because in the general he was the only option not named trump.

Expecting him to draw a crowd like 08 Obama is just ridiculous

They actively discouraged people from coming because of corona. That's why it isn't comparable.

But even without that stuff, Biden never had what Obama had in 08.

People travelled from all over, it was a huge deal and people were literally celebrating in the streets nationwide.

Some of that was because we getting rid of GW, but most of it was excitement about Obama.

In 2020 there wasn't excitement from anyone, just relief.
