1. It increasingly feels like Biden, if he's the Democratic nominee, will be Hilary Clinton 2.0, but worse. A campaign based on personal revulsion against Trump, nostalgia for normal politics, & outreach to moderate Republicans.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1124667509242777600 …

7. Let's say Biden is the candidate & he runs (as he wants to do) a campaign aimed at suburban moderates. 2 questions: 1. can he beat Trump? (Yes, because Dem coalition will be super-mobilized by anti-Trump feelings) 2. Will victory be lasting? (No.)

8. I have no trouble imagining Biden winning a reprise of 2016, with Obama coalition & weaker working class support offset by suburban moderates. But such a coalition seems unstable, unlikely to survive long without antipathy of Trump. Those moderates will edge back to GOP.

9. The stuff Biden will say to win suburban Republicans will dampen enthusiasm among young & among working class, if not in 2020 then soon after in subsequent elections. And GOP will be able to run candidates who borrow Trump's politics without his personal failings.

Which is bizarre, considering one of the main reasons people supported HRC is because she might be the first female president.

Democratic leadership wants to protect corporate power. The establishment Democratic Party promotes *cultural* (faux-) wokeness with neoliberal politics, and--at the local level--puts minority/female candidates in races precisely 2 offer the appearance of being woke when it isn't

I find that most centrists don’t get it. An acquaintance who listens to Bill Maher (first mistake) keeps parroting his theory that Republicans continue to win because the Left is too into perfection of candidates. That ain’t it. I argue that GOP win because they’re playing chess

Left of centre establishment wants to only win elections and don’t build for the long term. Secondly what the GOP voters have done is essentially elect those who SEEM to challenge the status quo. Those are the candidates being elected. Yes, on both sides.
