I simply will never understand the assignment of parental roles to politicians that libs dole out. Is it some sort of sexual pathology? Biden is not acting like a father in any sense, he is a distracted uncle forced to show up to graduation at best, if we need a family metaphor. It would be really cool if someone ran on some sort of family value campaign, like a woman candidate running on a "maternal" campaign focused on education, nutrition, health care, better working conditions, and safer roads. Or a man candidate running with "paternal" things like infrastructure repair, automotive regulation, increased national parks and parklands, improving air and water quality, and housing availability. This would, of course, require politicians who actually care about people. It would also include a lot of very specific campaign promises, so it would never fly.
