      I wish somebody would tell me how, given the EC, a Dem wins the presidency when s/he is going to lose the rural/small town wwc 2-1 overall and 4 or 5-1 in the Deep South unless it combines multi-racial metro with suburban centrists. And no Bernie didn’t carry the more moderatehttps://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

      intra-Dem wwc. Like you really can’t have a multi-racial working class coalition when the biggest piece—the wwc—won’t undertake its assigned mission. And they won’t, just on the *promise* that their lives will improve. Have to pick political lock, improve lives first. Then maybe.

      Honestly, pushing Fed to do full employment would help a lot. It's criminal they left that policy option to Trump.

      That’s a good and humane thing in itself. But it won’t necessarily lead to rural white voters supporting Dems. Those voters have *many* “good” reasons, by their lights, not to support the multi-racial party of cities.

      I don't think all these voters should be seen as irrevocably Trumpist. The fact that both Obama and Biden did better in rural areas (particularly in north) than Clinton is one sign that there are gettable votes. Obama himself has said Dems need to make the effort.

      Some on the left refuse to recognize that a lot of wwc people who vote Republican identify as strongly w the GOP as we do with the left Partisanship is a hard habit to kick when you don't want to

      These are people who literally voted Dem within the last 2 decades -- even as the current GOP now pursues erstwhile GOP suburban voters. This is a choice -- one with consequences.
