On immigration, it's fair to say Obama did a lot to defuse these issues by '20 standards. He talked a lot about border security and deported enough undocumented immigrants to earn attacks from activists. Biden '20 wasn't really willing to defend this in the primary: I was just VP — PolitiTweet.org

So Obama didn't exactly shy away from talking about liberal cultural issues. But it is true that they weren't the central question of the election, either. I am open to the idea that they could have been under other circumstances. — PolitiTweet.org

On race, Obama ran on a now very out-of-style brand of hopeful, colorblind postracial liberalism, which plainly helped to defuse questions about race in the northern United States (not the south). On net, perhaps he defused it entirely, at least compared to prior white Dems. — PolitiTweet.org
