People are saying Biden won by having a moderate message, so progressives need to be very careful. But there is no evidence Biden won by having a moderate message. Based on Congressional races results, there’s just as good a chance he would’ve won by a bigger margin being bolder.

45 million voters hold college loan debt that’s crippling them. How would it have been bad politics to tell them that if you elect us we’ll cancel those debts? Especially since a good argument is made for how much it would stimulate the economy for the money to be in their hands!

With all respect to Biden, this election was a referendum on Trump. A broken Roomba would have beat trump. The reason it was close was because of the looting outage & the "defund the police" narrative. The right used both to scare the bejesus out of millions and it almost worked.

Based on Congressional race results? ...Republicans have gained at least 4 house seats and likely retain the senate...

I think Biden can both be bold in policy AND offer a conciliatory tone (which people may characterize as moderate). His five priorities should be embraced by all - to fix the pandemic, economy, health care, racism, and the climate.

There is evidence that a higher percentage of Republicans voted for Trump than in 2016. So this contradicts anyone saying Biden won by having a moderate message.

Lets be real here. Biden won because he was not Trump. People voted AGAINST Trump not for Biden. You put someone like a @MittRomney circa 2012 on the ballot instead of Trump and Biden woulda got his clock cleaned.

He was anti Trump. Thats the only reason he won!

Biden won nothing at this point with all the proven fraud that went on. It will be an interesting few weeks when it’s all uncovered. I still believe Trump won this election fair and square.
