Working class union members, Irish-Americans, college professors from the south

As far as elected politicians go probably Biden himself and Ralph Northam.

I think all the Dem presidents of the 20th century would've. A case could be made against Wilson but he adapted with the times and ruled as a progressive despite his prior bourbon views and while he was a white supremacist, he tried to win black support when he ran in 1912.

I could see Wilson being similar to Elizabeth Warren if he was alive today weirdly enough. Both Ivy League professors originally from the south that built their political careers as reform oriented progressives in a northern state. In the same way Wilson was nominated as a compromise candidate between the Bourbons and Bryanites people talked about Warren as potentially serving the same unifying role between establishment Democrats and Bernie supporters.

Another probably underrated group, working class French-Canadians from Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. Even in the days when Northern New England was solidly Republican (though New Hampshire was never really solid R) they tended to be the most Democratic leaning group and though they've trended R in the Trump era there's still residual D support.

I have trouble seeing Biden voting for Douglas over Lincoln.

I could see him voting for Douglas. He may have crossed over to vote for Lincoln in 64 though.

Horatio Seymour wouldn't be a good vote for anyone who didn't want to be labeled a white supremacist. It's funny how different he and Horace Greeley were despite being nominees only 4 years apart.


I suppose a consistent elitist might have voted for him because they’d rather have “experience” of any sort then a military man that was a political newcomer. Same sort of person that disliked Trump not for his politics but because they thought he was uncouth.
