The United States is a real melting pot and that shows in maps that show voting behaviors. This is a purple country and you have to be representative of that.
Biden's job is to halt the rightward march in attitudes and rebuild the institutions that Trump has all but destroyed. The only way to do that effectively is to bring in experienced people and leverage the expertise of those who know government. His picks have been solid and should help reestablish some trust in our institutions and provide opportunity to slowly make the shift back toward the center.

Like Susan Rice for the domestic policy council? Like Pete Buttigieg for any post?
Or perhaps you like bringing back Vilsack, who spent his first tour in the department of Ag destroying farmers, and spent his break lobbying for the dairy industry.
If he's trying to build trust with regular Americans, these picks are abysmal. What good is expertise in "know[ing] government" if they spend their time enriching large corporations and building their resumes for plumb lobbying jobs?
