    Good thread. Entire Biden campaign has been predicated on the idea that the main reason Clinton lost mainly because she's a woman and if you ran the same campaign with a man (ideally a white man) at the head, it would win. Given nature of sexism, it could be true.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1296088212910362624 …

    it's notable to me that the core of the Biden message: calm, steady, compassionate leadership representing a big tent of Americans spanning the left, center and center-right, isn't really that different from Clinton's 2016 message!

        Yeah. I don’t know how to feel about the fact that a lot of Biden’s imperviousness comes from being a white guy.

        Given that Hillary lost by 40k voters, a lot of things could be true...

        Hard disagree here. Clinton ran as a policy wonk; Biden isn't.

        Also, Joe's reputation is as a super likable, warm guy. Unfairly (IMHO), Clinton's reputation was cold, corrupt, etc. The different personalities is a big part (possibly driven somewhat by sexism but in reality, they are very different people!)

        This is very true, but I also think there's a big difference between "how bad could it get?" voters breaking for Trump and the message of calm, steady leadership being more effective now that we have an answer and it's actually very bad.

        Conservatives saw Clinton's ambition early and spent literally decades making up odious, ridiculous shit against her. They have no such history in place against Biden, partly because he's a man, and partly because he was a non-factor most of his career

        In a man, Clinton's ambition would have been laudable.

        The main reason Clinton lost was because of the electoral college. If we went by the vote tally, as should be done in a democracy, she would have won.

        She WON the popular vote. What would you say about Al Gore's "loss?"
