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).

Biden vowed not to ban fracking and said he doesn't support the Green New Deal. That cost him more votes than some vague comment about a transition.

Is there any real data to back up the claim that talking about transitioning away from the dying fossil fuel industry actually cost Biden votes?

South Texas votes are pretty clear on this. Heavy turn against Dems.
