I had to convince both of my parents to not vote due to them only wanting to vote for Bernie or Trump. They both thinks Kamala is a full on ghoul and refuse to vote for that ticket.
Just because a corporate blue dog didn't win doesn't mean a left wing candidate would've. If anything I think the winning message regardless of party in these states is a populist one independent of "left" vs "right" culture politics at large, but that their populist cultural line is certainly not that of the contempory dem party.
It's just that you need the social side populist message to be deeply centered around the culture of the state. Hood to the hollar was a fantastic slogan. You needed someone who'd physically go to the apalachian parts of the state and throw a fuck ton of moonshine parties in every small town for the candidate. Culture war doesn't have to be at the expense of marginalized people, but you do need to appeal to it.

Also noticing the deep Bernie blue in Miami-Dade where Biden seriously underperformed.
Or Nevada, which could sink Biden's victory. God I hate this stupid country.
Yeah how the fuck is Nevada even competitive for Republicans, Dems fucked up so hard it's actually frightening.
My mom lives in Kentucky. Voted for Trump twice, and she might've voted for Sanders.
At least she said nice things about him in the primary.

I think Bernie could have made ky competitive, no way he wins but within striking distance. It would have been a huge shake up
