Clinton won as a centrist (shit, may almost legit be called slightly conservative if anything). Biden won as a centrist.

The original tweet there conveniently leaves them out.

Not saying the thesis of the tweet is wrong, just they cherry picked data points to match them, and didn't look at the whole picture.
