    Jeet Heer Retweeted Branko Marcetic

    Crucial point here is that the pursuit of high-end white centrist (often Republican) voters came at a real cost to Dems, even if it helped defeat Trump.https://twitter.com/BMarchetich/status/1334960257391419392 …

    Biden voters who voted Republican downballot were wealthier, better educated and more suburban than both voters who went Trump but Democrat downballot, and voters who voted Democrat all the way down. This is the precise demographic the party has organised itself around since '16. pic.twitter.com/MzuafZB5ck

        I don't see how that follows at all.

        The best predictor of whether a Dem won in the House/Senate is whether Biden won their district/state. Ticket splitting was, for the most part, not a particularly serious problem.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        What would you have recommended as an alternative? Bernie's strategy of "activating the working class/youth" clearly did not work, seeing as he was not nominated.

        Replying to @N_A_Thinks @HeerJeet

        This strategy at the top of the ticket won the whitehouse but cost dems at every other level of government. It seems like the leadership of the party, should they actually want to enact democratic policy goals (or even have a vision for what that means), will need the alternative

        Depends on whether or not voting for Biden is a "gateway drug", right? (it is)

        Right. The WWC voters that voted Trump but D downballot in 2016 became regular Republican voters in 2018/2020.

        The whole point of this election was to slam a wedge between the fascists, and our democracy. ✔️ Now it’s time to recalibrate and move forward.
