      given the degree to which Biden courted anti-Trump Republican voters, he may well have been actively harmful to downballot Democratshttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1324072119890710528 …

      I remember one of the arguments for Biden over Bernie was that Biden would help Dems win the Senate.

      Yep. By arguing in effect the problem is one bad man, Trump, and not the GOP, Biden gave voters permission to vote Republican downballot.

          Might have been a catch-22. I'm not sure "actually, the party you generally associate with is bad" would have convinced a lot of voters to switch to him.

          Most american voters are independents and don't associate with either party

          But, by in large, Americans tend to vote for divided government.

          wow, if you believe that running a self described socialist would have somehow made then night better for Democrats, then you really, really do not understand what happened last night Jeet. - House will lose 7-12 seats. - Dems lost share of Latino and Black male vote

          Biden outperformed the Dem Congress with Democratic base. Take Michigan. The incumbent Dem Senator is running behind Biden. You blame that on Biden? crazy talk. You think labeling him with Bernie's socialism helps him win more vote?

          Biden also said that he'd be able to work productively with GOP senators, and presumably some voters heard him.

          Everything they said all campaign was about getting rid of Trump, not the powermongers that refused to remove him through impeachment. Biden's team actively undermined a Dem Senate by courting votes for President alone. Now let's see how many judges he can appoint.
