Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Well, Biden did not make it by much in the "battleground" states.
In Florida he did not make it because the Cuban and Venezuelan Latinos bought tRump lies labeling Biden as a socialist on the way to making US communist.

Pocahontas was proposing revolutionary changes in taxes. People with money would have funded successful campaigns to paint her as a communist. Lying in political ads is not a problem as I'm sure you've noticed.

I actually agree with her proposals. It just has to be evolved at a slow pace.

New Biden's ground game sucked.
I remember reading articles months ago about how his outreach to Hispanic communities was almost nonexistent. (I think it was Julian Castro complaining about it, but not sure) His coattails didn't bring anybody along with him for the most part; Democrats lost ground in the House and probably won't have the Senate either. Biden didn't so much win as Trump lost because of his completely incompetent response to COVID-19 IMO - people voted for Biden because they were tired of Trump, but then went down and voted for their Republican Senators and Representatives.

(By the way, STOP FUCKING CALLING HER POCAHONTAS. Thanks for doing Trump's work for him. Hell, I thought I had Native American blood based on family oral tradition until my dad did 23 and me - turns out we don't, but we do have a drop or two of African American DNA, which may be why one of my extremely racist great aunts suddenly stopped doing her family tree research without explanation.)

Warren had a great grassroots network going. She had a lot of broad-base support from the left of the Democrats that unfortunately Sanders took when he showed up to poop on the primaries. Most of all, she wasn't afraid to fight against the Republicans, which is a big fucking weakness with Democrats these days. They're terrified somebody is going to call them a liberal or a socialist, and they run around with their tails between their legs hiding the fact that Moscow Mitch took their balls and keeps them in a jar on his desk.

This is the other side of the problem - the Republican party is FUCKING EVIL. Not "hey, these guys could be redeemable some day", no, they are literally willing to burn the country down if they're not the ones running it. Hell, they're willing to burn down the country even if they are running it.

Biden's going to go all "Oh hey, wouldn't it be nice if we were friends again?", the Republicans are going to cut his balls off and put them on Moscow Mitch's desk, and in two years HUGE red wave over manufactured Democratic incompetence. I hope I'm wrong, but *shrug*.

New For sure, Biden's ground game could have been better.
They did nothing on Florida's Latino radio.

They focused on the battleground Mid-west states. What used to be the "blue wall".

But the losses in the down ballot were because Trump's base really turned out to vote. More of them turned out this year than back in 2016 when Trump won.

I used the Pocahontas name only to show that Trump was ready to take her on.

Worst case, tell your boss it's a new kind of ultra-XML -- not quite invisible, but only very sophisticated and intelligent people can see it...
