my state, hard. Fortunately Biden was just here too.

Every election, Democrats do seem to spend a lot of energy on trying to win red states they think are within striking distance. Beto's campaign is an example. I think it would take a miracle for Biden to win Texas. If what we believe to be blue states need shoring up, I hope the campaign does so.

Regarding Hillary's ground game, I don't know that it would have helped. There was so much hatred baked in against her that it was hard to overcome. I think that was part of what led the undecideds you reference to move toward Trump. They already knew they hated Hillary. It frustrates me because all of the anti-Hillary sentiment was based on ignorance and propaganda, but Trump has shown us that the truth simply doesn't matter.

The other small but potentially significant group is the self-described progressives who think Biden isn't good enough to vote for. They frustrate me most of all, and I attribute the rightward shit of the country to their efforts over the past few decades. The only statistic I can point to regarding that is the unusually high number of votes for Stein in those key states that Clinton lost.
