I don't think the campus protests and the ridiculous reactions are good for Biden as it might peel away his "coalition" from both sides. I don't blame the protestors for that though.

Today’s Republicans are all about dominance. They embrace us-versus-them framing, double down on controversial statements and take risks. Today’s Democrats often recoil from “othering” opponents and back down after ruffling feathers. They have grown obsessively risk-averse, poll-driven, allergic to engaging on hot-button issues (except perhaps abortion) — and more than a little boring.

He's not wrong. Democrats seem to miss every opportunity to kick Republicans in the balls, unless it's at the White House Correspondents' Dinner or some other sanctioned, don't-worry-it's-all-just-a-game event.

its baffling like you have zero chance at actually peeling away Republican votes but showing a little fire and a willingness to bend the rules Republicans are intent on flagrantly breaking could definitely help you on a lot of fringes. its like they don't realize this is war

I think there is zero doubt that D's have been peeling away Republican votes in the Milwaukee suburbs.
