The stories covered by Vaush in this clip are wild. Apparently Biden’s internal polling was showing a loss of 400 electoral votes when he was insisting he was the only who could beat Trump and decided to run again? I get why the left has no interest in nuanced discussions since the dems got wiped out, however, only 175k votes were required to flip Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to Harris’s favour (last I read). If Biden did things differently it’s not hard to see how 175k votes could’ve gone differently the outcome was different. |
Assuming that story is accurate, why do people think that Dems would have done significantly better given a longer campaign? A shorter campaign helps maintain enthusiasm and allows the candidate to run a campaign focused on the general election instead of having to pivot after the primary.
My take is that Dems were doomed from the start because of idiots not understanding the economy.
