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.
Stop scapegoating AOC and the Squad. The problem with the Democrats is that they let Republicans set the framing on everything and try to wiggle out of defending any of their policies, which makes low info voters think that the Democrats policies must be awful, like the Republicans are saying, or else why are they being so evasive?
