The DNC should hire him. This advice is much smarter than anything I've seen implemented in the last 6.5 years.

Because nominating a gaffe-prone moderate who's been in the public eye for several decades worked so well in 2016

Democrats need to become moderate to center right wing to win elections. The American people have spoken, liberalism is dead in this country.

On top of this, Biden can't even hit Trump for racism, sexism, or creepiness toward women without coming off as a massive hypocrite.


None of the Democrats who "can" do this are doing that anyway. One of Bill's coaching points in the video.

He's not wrong though even if he can be an asshole and limousine liberal-like at times.

TLDW:

-Try to appeal to other voters and visit other states.
-Stop trying to take the high road so much
-Stop adding more candidates
-Stop trying to appeal to random people on twitter and stop apologizing for everything.
-Get together and set up unified messages, talking points, and criticisms to use against Republicans instead of sniping at each other.
-Stop trying to be so hip on Twitter with the slang and stunts in a vain attempt to sway millennials/Gen Z, because younger voters will see through the act of desperation anyway.

At least he realizes that limousine liberal attitude is why they lost to Trump. He promised jobs to large part of the country (ability to deliver notwithstanding). They are more concerned with trending on Twitter.

I'm a never Trump republican, I'm okay with Biden winning. I'd maybe vote for him. All the other DNC front runners I could never support.

But yeah, its simple--likeable moderate. Wins back the blue collar states Trump swept (Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania). Doesn't scare the middle class average suburban voter with constant socialism.

Biden will lose. He represents the status quo which hasn't been good for anyone except the already wealthy and already well connected. That's why he's the establishment choice, but people on both sides are fed up with the establishment

Which states that Hillary won would Biden lose to Trump?

Because unless that's realistic, all Biden needs to do is flip MI/WI, where he polls very well, and it's in the bag.

I actually want to see this. Biden is boring as fuck, Bernie is old but at least he clearly has life in him and he's willing to fight for himself in places most don't like Fox News and Joe Rogan

Funny how Republicans seem to be so um... liberal with how much advice they give on who the Democrats should listen to, who they should elect, and what policies they should push.

Surely it is out of their good hearts and desire for harmony.

The Democrats should be listening to it, as they've been losing elections in embarrassing fashion and don't seem to have learned a single thing from their failures.

If Republicans wanted to give Trojan Horse advice, they'd be rooting for one of these unelectable socialist candidates who won't even carry mainstream Democratic voters. The advice being given here by a liberal is actually worth listening too. And I'm not sure why the side who's continually racking up losses would be turning away any advice at this point.

Why does that matter? Trumps base gives him a pass on those so hammering on them wont win an election.

I don't know if it's just the media over blowing it or if it's actually a huge thing the Democrats are running on, but the almost exclusive emphasis on getting non citizens in and giving them free healthcare is a really weird thing that I think they're going to have to back off from (whoever is pushing it) if they really want to win back the states they lost last time.

Can someone who is more politically minded explain why this is such a good thing to run on? Or is this just something for primaries that is going to never be brought up again?

Consolidating the healthcare cartel, suppressing wages, and democratically legitimating the government's expansion would be a boon for megacorps, contractors, bureaucrats, and the financial sector

D voters are just having their emotions weaponized towards these ends. R voters have their emotions weaponized towards similar ends in different ways.
