North Carolina

Same problems as in other states.  Better messaging, better social media savvy and online presence, stop AOC and Ilhan Omar from being the face of the party.

That said, in NC in particular, I think Biden would probably have won if the universities were in session and we were able to go out and register young voters.

Hillary loses: “It’s Bernie’s fault, he made her lose.”

Biden wins: “It’s AOC’s fault, if she wasn’t there he would have won by more.”

I’m getting tired of this. There’s no evidence that progressive or “radical” Democrats made Biden do worse in any state not named Florida.

AOC is the one trying to complain about how Biden should have won by more

I mean I think most Democrats are disappointed at the results, considering how the polls showed Biden leading by near-landslide margins and taking back the Senate.

It’s not about Dems having policies too far left or too centrist, it’s more about how Dems communicate their platform to the people.

About NC,

People always remember Obama's shock 2008 win but no one remembers the 2010 R wave that flipped the legislature and everything. 2008 and 2010 were 2 years that showed significant trends in both directions for NC.

North Carolina heavily swung R in 2010 because EVERYTHING heavily swung R in 2010. It was a destruction of Democrats in every single competitive state, not just North Carolina.
