1. People are underestimating the size of Biden's victory for reasons mentioned in this useful thread: lots of votes left to count in blue states & also historic high turnout. Combined, it looks like a higher share of voters supported Biden than supported Reagan in 1984https://twitter.com/jtlevy/status/1324408585590329345 …

If someone doesn’t “think Trump was an existential threat to American democracy” and that “Biden's strategy was not only successful but justified” then they are hopelessly deluded.

After all, Ivanka might have instituted Medicare for All after Trump established autocratic rule. You never know!

Serious question: have you ever noticed that your tweets summarizing your articles are consistently much better written and more persuasive than the articles themselves?

Good thread, and I don't disagree with any of it. But, this was not a normal election. The CULT of tRUmp is very real, fueled by racism, white anxiety & conspiracy vulnerability. Look at tRUmp's turnout. This was all-hands-on-deck to defeat a cult, regardless of down ballot.

You nailed this. The problem for the left is its presumed strategy was very high risk/reward, ie, *maybe* a social democratic policy election increases Dem wwc .+ more Latinos in TX/FL. More likely, it’s just reduces Biden’s suburban centrist tix split voters. And he loses too.

Very important that these Biden R's look a lot like Reagan D voters in the 80's. It took them a long time for them to consistently vote down ballot for Rs (the '94 election seems to be the tipping point, I think). This is gonna take longer than people want.

How about a compromise? Progressives run wild in the two years before midterm elections, when turnout is low and an energized base very valuable. Then they lay low in the years before presidential elections, when thin margins in swing states can bring existential dangers.
