    In red and purple states Democrats ran very moderate and sometimes conservative Senate candidates -- McGrath, Bullock, Cunningham -- who didn't appeal to "cultural values of urban college graduates" & often lost anyways. Am I the only one who remembers this or am I nuts?https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/1367120245845086211 …

        The whole narrative that Dems underperformed in 2020 because they were too woke & police defunding & using Latinx all the time is very strange since the ticket was headed by Joe fucking Biden who ran on giving more money to cops, beating socialism & bipartisanship.

        The argument here seems to be that Democrats shouldn't run Angela Davis or Noam Chomsky in red and purple states. But guess what? They're not running those candidates. They're already running moderate candidates in red & purple states.

        The argument Josh/Matt/etc would make is that they couldn't escape the national enviroment so no Dems anywhere should be saying emphasizing unpopular stuff

        The point is that If democrats had run someone with the same level of cross-party appeal as Bullock had in MT in NC vs Cunningham they would have won in NC

        If Democrats had Bullock quality candidates in every race in 2018 and 2020 then Dems would easily have 54 senate seats
