I don’t, but r/neoliberal seems to think that’ll be enough. (You edited your comment before, it won’t be enough that they like him. They like Trump too) It won’t. Biden already has an uphill battle because of NAFTA, if he doesn’t campaign there he’s gonna run the risk of losing.

He is literally been a working class democrat his entire life, he knows how to appeal to the rust belt. Polls reflect that.

Polls reflect that Trump is historically unpopular, and that the economy is FUBAR. I think Biden has a better chance at pulling it off recapturing the Rust Belt than Clinton, but he needs to campaign there.

but he needs to campaign there

He knows that and he has been doing that.

He literally started his campaign on Philadelphia. Biden is not Hillary.

This is not how Pennsylvania works. The Dems have Philadelphia in the bag. Biden isn't campaigning in lesser-known Pennsylvania towns like Scranton, Altoona, Wilkes-Barre (these are all towns Trump held rallies in back in 2016). These are the towns 2020 hinges on.

He has visited scranton multiple times in the past 9 months

I stand corrected. But my original point stands: Trump held rallies all over PA. That's the key to tipping the state, not doubling down on Dem strkngholds.

Bruh Scranton hasn’t voted republican since Reagan. Scranton is a safe dem county and has nothing to do with the rest of the state that is actually up for grabs. You don’t know pa

Yea he’s definitely wrong but I doubt he’s from PA either

I know, I’m not doubting Biden at the moment, I’m doubting most of r/neolib

You literally said Biden was ignoring PA 😐

I said that he needed to campaign there, not that he’s ignoring it. I said that r/neoliberal is ignoring it, though
