    Yep. This was the electorate that Biden chased after and he won it. The problem is that chasing this electorate meant ignoring other parts of the Democratic coalition and also hurting the party's down ballot performance.https://twitter.com/ForecasterEnten/status/1334203877592354822 …

    it's pretty clear that the difference between the 2016 & 2020 election outcome is most likely because enough well-to-do white people changed their votes from non-Dem in 2016 to Biden in 2020.

        Honestly - this was Biden just doing his part to hold up one of the great Obama traditions.

        They didn't take the Latino vote seriously and blamed AOC and "defund the police" rather than admit that to themselves. The End! No Moral

        he made marginal (but marked) improvements with the 'white working class'. You're entire premise requires you to just ignore this.

        I think the problem is that Biden won a slightly higher % of wwc but that the group had large turnout increase. Do even though his % was slightly better, he lost a few million extra votes there.

        Would love to see you expand on these thoughts because I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at. Seems both Trump and covid are capable of producing idiosyncratic coalitions that we probably shouldn't read *too* much into just yet.

        Biden got more than 80 million votes and has maybe the most diverse coalition in our country's history. It's baffling that people are looking at that suggesting it was the wrong play.

        Always have to chase the Real American ™️ vote. Doesn't matter how many voters you have if they aren't Real Americans ™️. Biden's win is somehow tainted bc he didnt get enough votes from ppl that haven't given major support to a Dem since the 60s.pic.twitter.com/FCYN4gIEp3
