2. In the second debate Biden said, as president he would "transition from the old industry." Trump jumped on that & said "Will you remember that Texas? Will you remember that Pennsylvania, Oklahoma?" I'm sure Biden's words cost him. But they were the right thing to say.

3. On Covid, Biden's bleak message ("a dark winter") likely cost him votes. But it was also honest and better leadership than Trump's everything is going to be great soon.

4. Also on Covid, and perhaps more debatable, the Biden campaign's decision not to do door-to-door canvassing. It clearly cost them. Arguably they went too far but it was consistent with the larger (and correct) message of prioritizing fighting Covid.

5. Arguably the Covid message could have been modified by emphasizing that further sacrifices would be compensated by stimulus (and Dems, unlike Trump, were unwilling to take credit for popular UI top up).

how is that true on climate? (please please please don't say fracking. 100% renewable energy is insanely popular). There's no downside to saying the "truth" on climate afaik

In fact, the more aggressive you are on climate, the more voters like it e.g. enormous pollution cuts by 2030 are *more* popular than enormous pollution cuts by 2050. 100% renewables even more so! Plus jobs. Call it... a Green New Deal ;)

Biden hasn't said or done the right thing with either of those though.... Are you saying that's part of why he won? That he lied? Or are you pretending he said the right thing about both and lost votes as a result? Very confused.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

It would be great to see a bunch of interviews with Biden voters

I think the vast majority would be “he’s a decent guy with experience enough to guide us out of the awful snare that Trump and his cult have caught us in,” OR “he’s not Trump.”
