Former Obama pollster @AmandiOnAir gave me a telling response on efficacy of socialism attacks on Biden:
“If you don't believe that the socialism attacks against Democrats work in places like Florida, just ask Governor Andrew Gillum and Senator Bill Nelson.”

A key thing I heard: White, senior Democrats can’t comprehend the Biden socialism attack — he clearly isn’t one, they scoff at it, and dismiss it. “No one believes that though, right?” That’s a mistake because people do believe it and you need to message against it.
Meanwhile, Trump camp has moved in, holding 45,000 grassroots events in English and Spanish, like a "Day of Action Against Socialism" MAGA meet-up "to discuss horrors of socialism and phone bank into Latino communities."
Dems say it’s fear-based exploitation, but it’s happening.
