Politicians say they're 'just an average Joe' to make people feel like they are more relatable. It’s like when you tell your friends, ‘I’m just a regular kid,’ even though you’re doing something cool or important. They want people to think, ‘Hey, I can be like them too.’
Examples
- A politician says, 'I’m just an average Joe, I work nine-to-five like everyone else!'
- On a news show, a candidate smiles and says, 'You know me, I'm just an average Joe.'
- At a town hall meeting, a politician says, 'Don’t believe the hype, I’m just an average Joe.'
