She needs to learn how to work the opposing party leaders and do it thinking on her feet. Give the right thoughtful nuanced answer when wingnut reporters shout out dog whistle questions. She was the Attorney General and police unions weren't reacting like they did to Larry Krasner, so I think she should be able to avoid any stray tar from people saying Dems are the 'defund the police' party.
You're right. But, most Democrats aren't really conscious of this. Only the House Members that flipped districts in 2018 only to lose them in 2020 precisely because of this get this. Biden strongly positioned himself regarding this issue and you can tell by his totals in Southern states vs Democrats running on the same ballot. Jon Ossoff for example would not have had to undergo a runoff if he won the same number of votes Biden did in Georgia.
Also, look at what Biden's experience taught him. You can't beat skill and experience.
