      One theory was that Trump won by flipping white, working class Obama voters, and therefore Dems needed to lure them back--maybe with a populist economic pitch. I think that explanation for Trump's win was accurate, but Biden had very, very limited success with Obama-Trump vote

      A lot of the data preelection suggested Biden did have some success there, but it's really, really hard to see the case for it now. In fact, many Obama-->Trump counties swung even *more* toward Trump in WI, OH, IA, etc.

      A second theory was that Trump won because of a bad progressive, youth, and nonwhite (but especially Black) turnout. To win, all Democrats needed was to recreate the Obama turnout, win some Jill Stein votes, etc.

      The evidence never really matched this theory IMO, but it looks even worse today. The black share of the electorate did not increase, and quite possibly dropped. The voter file data we have so far suggests that the partisan turnout balance was unchanged or even *better* for Rs

      And most of all, this theory assumed--implicitly--that all Dems needed to do was win 2016, as the president had maxed out his support, hadn't won any new converts, and couldn't compete in a higher turnout election. That assumption was wrong

      Instead, Biden wound up winning in a way that I think many post-2016 post-mortems allowed as a possibility, but that I think had relatively few advocates: more-or-less run the Clinton playbook, but with a less polarizing candidate

      Some of us saw this coming from start of Biden campaign. It's a coalition that can win against Trump -- whether its a coalition that is good for the Dems in the long run is another question. The dampening enthusiasm about POC & young is a problempic.twitter.com/tghaGkhvAm

      The one time in this century that the Democrats had a coalition large enough to govern was when they got young people to come out (2008). Failing to do that in subsequent elections has hurt the party.

      Nominate charismatic young politicians instead of doddering party functionaries would be a good start.

          Lol yeah why are people acting like it's some mysterious dark art? Democrats keep putting forth old people that target middle class and higher voters, then act surprised when younger poorer people don't come out to vote
