Yup—great thread. Particular irony is that even the voters that Biden is presumably targeting—suburban centrists, mostly women—**are very very angry**!!! Biden is the last non angry person. Biden says Trump is a monster, but that nobody is angry about that. Makes no sense.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1129774162485174272 …

Biden said he wanted to pull Trump out behind the alley and beat him up!

Ok, he can get angry too. But, based on the speech excerpts
@HeerJeet cited, he’s decided he’s no longer angry, nor are most Democratic voters. About the latter, I suspect he’s wrong, regardless of their ideology.1 reply 0 retweets 8 likes -
I feel like the insights about candidate affect you often make might apply here.

The candidate affect here is less important than the overriding campaign message, which is one of a return to 2016 normality most likely to appeal to centrist Dems & Never Trump Republicans. I think that message also demobilizes other groups & is risky for that reason.
