      1. It's really worth paying attention to Biden's words here. “Some say Democrats are angry...well I don’t believe it.” We have an unaddressed climate crisis, abortion rights under siege, migrant kids detained & dying, maybe war with Iran but Uncle Joe is not angry.https://twitter.com/Olivianuzzi/status/1129720696702230528 …

      You should consider analyzing what happened in 2018 not just what happened in 2016.

      2018 victories were fuelled by resistance anger against Trump. Biden now wants to tamp down on that anger in the name of "unity."

      Swing districts are not the whole of America. To treat all of America as a swing district is to pursue a campaign message that will demobilize key Democratic voting blocs. I really don't see the point of repeating all the folly that elected Trump.

      The inability to see the difference between 2016 and 2019 is one of the main reasons twitter pundits are so out of touch with Dem voters. Lots of people thought Trump couldn’t win. Now he’s there. That fact changes a lot of behavior.

      The assumption here is that progressive voters, because they hate Trump so much, will hold their nose & vote for Biden even if he runs on milquetoast restorationist message. Possibly true but not a good recipe for a politics to deal with big issues like climate & courts.

      I actually feel like Biden is running on a mashup of Barack Obama's DNC/2004 and 2008 messages -- that America is a fundamentally good, loving, unified, bipartisan country that somehow just got stuck with a bad president and with him defeated, we can get back to "normal."

          Agree. It's also about giving some Trump/GOP voters an "out" ( I voted for Trump but thought he would not win, etc). Obama was not naive about race. He gave people permission with the subtext of: "I do not care if you call me the "N" word or mildly racists..just vote for me"

          Again. I do not support Biden but good messaging is essential. I have praised @ewarren @KamalaHarris @PeteButtigieg @GovernorBullock when they used the right message. I will do the same with @JoeBiden and whoever ends up being the Dem Candidate should learn from all the others.

          I think the Democratic party acting like all we have to do is beat the Republicans one more time and they'll snap back to reality has been a losing strategy for the past 20-30 years. At some point we're going to stop punching ourself in the dick right

          Look forward to your views now that you have had a chance to see Biden’s dpeech as delivered, rather than just read excerpts from his prepared text. To me, he knocked it out of the park.

          The problem with that view is that Trump is much a symptom as he is a problem. If we *had* Republican party that was willing to do what was best for the country, rather than "win no matter what," the man never would've been their final candidate. #CountryOverPartypic.twitter.com/bPQcQOIiFw

          Were not going back to normal. Biden 2020 will not be a pre-2016 reset- thinking that it is is wishful thinking. Its basically MAGA 2.0 but for Democrats. Obama tried bipartisanship with a perpetually obstructionist GOP - why does Biden think things will be different with him?

          Except that anyone who's paying attention knows it's a fantasy. If Biden intends to govern as he's campaigning, he's promising four wasted years at a time of obvious emergency on many fronts. It's hard to overstate how demoralizing a prospect that is.
