      Fascinating maps. Basically Biden won decisively but yet very modestly: he teased out just enough suburban voters to > Trump’s enormous rural white increase (and this cycle, Latino increase) to match Obama’s 51% in 2012, but with a markedly different demographic composition.https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/status/1330123373284876288 …

      Biden now leads by 3.86 points nationwide, per @Redistrict popular vote tracker, matching Obama's 3.86 pt win in 2012. He'll exceed it soon. They won by similar amounts in very different ways. Here's the shift in presidential results between 2012 and 2020 pic.twitter.com/XjNsqOLfkd

      yes -- he got more suburban voters. Which, just to say, was not what many people on this website seemed to understand was the key to victory.

      True. But everybody, regardless of priors, whether they liked Biden or not, left or liberal, figured that the “Scranton Joe” working class normie white guy shtick would get him more votes than Hillary in rural white areas too. It did—but really not that many.

      Some of us argued all along that Biden was likely to replicate the Clinton campaign's focus on the suburbs, with a greater chance of success (because of misogyny & strength of anti-Trump feeling)pic.twitter.com/RxZVuJCovO

          Hey look on the bright side Jeet, institutional democratic elites have forewarning of the coalition's instability and won't be anesthetized by biden's win and therefore insensate to these issues.

          Which nailed it, yes. I think the “leftwing of the possible” campaign I wish we could run as a natural experiment is not Bernie (would have likely scared off too many suburban centrists and not made it up with rural white wc or urban Black wc) or Warren (despite wwc middle
