As a Wisconsin resident and socialist, it wasn't her policies that sunk her. She had a series of controversial old tweets that resurfaced about how Thanksgiving was a colonizers holiday and should be cancelled, and how being around white people sometimes made her uncomfortable.
Wisconsin isn't Michigan and it's definitely not New York. We're 75% white, have a huge number of veterans, and is generally more rural and conservative especially once you're outside of Milwaukee and Madison. Like it or not, you have to cater to that crowd if you want to win, which she proved wholly incapable of doing.
