      This is a smart thread. I agree that the dominant fact is that Trump was at heart of election. Whatever misgivings one might have about Biden's strategy, he did construct one of the few possible coalitions that could defeat Trump.https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/status/1327623039996006401 …

      Is it possible that another coalition, one that tried to fight Trump's advantage among non-college voters head on, could also have won? I think so but Democratic party and primary voters didn't want to risk it. And given threat of Trump, it's hard to blame them for avoiding risk

      Going forward, we have to think about the conditions that fuelled Trump's rise. In 2 elections 46% and 47% of population supported an anti-system candidate. That would suggest there is a problem with the system.

      No, it would suggest there are people who go along with "anti-system" rhetoric because the "system" asks them to not hate nonwhite Christians. It's just the latest iteration of the oldest "immigrants are an existential threat to you" trick in the book. Sadly it's quite reliable

      Elite contempt for the less well off is what got us into this mess.

          So the anti elitist voters put in Trump who lavished elites w tax cuts, and who repeatedly tried to strip healthcare protections/coverage? Sorry, but race is inextricably tied to the anti elite right wing faux populism.

          I’d say middle class contempt towards the less well off is what got us here

          The less well off voted decisively for Biden: those making more than $100,000 voted for Trump. Sam is right, though, to describe the core problem facing the country as the electoral mobilizing appeal of White grievance and resentment.

          Lower income voters voted in higher numbers for Biden.

          "Non-college-educated" is not the same as "less well off". The less well off went for Biden. Trump's base is non-college-educated white guys who are actually doing pretty well. (Think contractors, small business owners, etc.)

          Not college educated includes a lot of plumbers, HVAC, cops, etc... Making well over 100k a year. They went for Trump. They're not poor.

          Jeet, there is a reason the majority of white Americans have voted Republican or RW populist since 1968, & elite contempt is just a story we tell ourselves.
