Bernie just plain F'd up.

49. We've been in chaos mode for years now

And now we're in crisis mode.

I think people are tired of all the drama and uncertainty and want the familiar and the predictable. Biden is that guy. Is he perfect, no, but he is a known quantity. During crises, people want the known and the sure. He gives that to them.

Plus, I think many are nostalgic for not only the calm and steadiness of 2016, but also its optimism, too. We seemed to be heading in the right direction then. And now... It's all in tatters and we don't know what or who we can trust anymore. Maybe by bringing back the person who was a big part of that last time we felt safe and hopeful, we can recapture what we once had and right the ship again so that we can start working again toward a brighter future.

But I could be wrong. I don't think I am, though. Biden isn't the most exciting guy (although he can be weirdly funny and kooky), but I know I'll sleep better at night knowing he's in the Oval Office.
