Ah, yes, because Biden had such radical forward thinking progressive views. He was in no way a status-quo, pro-corporate candidate that didn’t inspire anyone…
Biden actively pilfered Bernie’s platform after winning the primary, so he was a forward thinking progressive compared to Harris and Hillary. Harris in particular explicitly ran to the right of Biden; she wasn’t exactly subtle about this. Perhaps more importantly, however, he had COVID on his side. Plenty of voters (33% of all voters and 57% of Biden voters) considered competent handling of COVID one of their two most important issues when voting; if COVID hadn’t happened or had happened under Biden’s watch Trump would’ve wiped the floor with him.

Biden ran on a lot of progressive policy. Childcare, revisiting the public option, family leave, rescheduling cannabis. They were all lies that killed the party’s credibility and made the 2024 bid a hard sell even before the genocide, regardless of which democrat was the candidate.
That and also he ran on a platform of “if you didn’t vote for him you weren’t black,” so I’m sure that helped out. Probably a lot of suburban whites thought they’d leave the booth magically Trudeau’d up.
(Clearly I’m just making fun of Biden’s statement with a little jab at Canadian Blackface and white kids, laugh about it it isn’t that serious.)

Biden was able to run on a “lesser evil” platform. He won because he wasn’t Trump. Hillary or Harris could have won in 2020.
