Donald’s election hurt. I’m not minimizing how unbelievably close it was.

Clinton made a push to the left in many areas. Biden, instead of going centrist, built off of Clinton’s push and has gone damn near full on progressive.

Nationally we are seeing a different strategy because of these holdouts on the left. We seem to be going after them instead of disparaging them. I’m all for that push. We are still far off of their positions but are close enough to provide a greater distinction from Republicans than them. That’s how you peel them off.
