I didn't think Biden was 2020's guy and I felt the Dems were too timid on policy.
But, now, seeing how hugely popular Trump remains, I think they made the right call.
Has any incumbent president lost* while increasing their vote before? Not Bush, Carter, Hoover or Taft.

Honestly I don't know how it would have gone if there weren't a lot of activist energy in the blue wall states (mainly from people who didn't care for Biden). The campaign itself was dismaying and demobilizing. Fortunately people really hate Trump.

I mean on hand, there's something to the idea since Michigan and Minnesota did better than Wisconsin in terms of turnout in their cities and Omar and Tlaib did more GOTV than Gwen Moore.

On the other hand, Biden ran ahead of all of these people. It suggests that the left is best at being the hand-maiden of the center which is a very unpleasant thought.

Undeniable about the activists, but Biden also won by appealing to small percentages of moderate and independent voters in key places. The margins in the swing states are tiny so that mattered.

Let’s correct that... The campaign was dismaying and demobilizing...for you. You were always a safe vote, so most of the stuff Biden did, it wasn’t for your benefit
