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!

Wonder what Bernie thinks?

Infact...there is evidence that suggests down ballot races were lost because of "moderate, libral, centrist" messaging.

Democrats lost the down-ballot races and are about to be gerrymandered out of many districts in this decade and lost even more power and somehow the conclusion is, the voter couldn't stomach a moderate message from democrats and therefore chose to vote Republican?

I just think that Biden won on Trump's message. He barely said anything about it when the White House turned into a hot zone for Covid because it speaks for itself.

House Dems who lost reelection in 2020: - Donna Shalala, an opponent of Medicare for All and defunding the police. - Joe Cunningham, an opponent of Medicare for All and defunding the police. - Xochitl Torres Small, an opponent of Medicare for All and defunding the police. (1/2)

There is zero evidence Biden has a message.
