lightpole posted:Pretty sure the only reason he ran is to get Trump out of office. He is only doing 1 term and is anything but dynamic. I wish he had run 4 years ago so we wouldn't be in this position. Biden barely managed to beat Trump, I have a strong suspicion Bernie would not have done any better, probably even worse as they would have been able to label him a radical and attack him with the riots. Biden sucks poo poo. In terms of how Bernie would have done, I honestly think the best thing to look at is Nevada's democratic caucuses. Early voting used ranked-choice forms. Bernie nearly doubled the totals of any other candidate. After the final realignment, he won with 40% of the vote, well over the 18% Biden got in second place. The real main challenge with Bernie or any other actual progressive is that the people who run the party are garbage, and when you have that kind of power you can do a lot to stifle any sort of change.

To expand on my previous post one of the signs that makes me think Bernie would've done better are results like Florida. Progressive policies like the $15 minimum wage passed easily, and those are policies that Bernie champions. Also consider AOC's tweet thread earlier in which the progressive side of the party actually did fairly well everywhere, while the more moderate Ds floundered.

Soylent Pudding posted:I also think the GOP has an easier time motivating their base because they're united in white grievance politics The GOP also has a literal propaganda news network in FNC. The Dems have nothing of the sort; a lot of people argue that "well, CNN and MSNBC are the liberal news media" or whatever, but both of them are more centrist "truth is in the middle" "both sides" trash. The biggest problem is that mainline / party leader Dems do not want progressive policy at all. Soylent Pudding posted:nationwide tanked choice voting

Ranked choice gives much better insight into candidate preference and debunks the utterly asinine "electability" myth. "XXXXXX isn't electable!": People can still pick their real preference first, then the "safe" choice second (or third or...). Then it turns out the actual preferred candidate wins and all the "but electability!" stuff was nonsense. As for demographics, the US is huge and I have to ask what state you would consider a good demographic representation for the majority of the US. But most of the reason was that it was one of the few early

lightpole posted:AOC was pretty clear with her post so you should probably reread it. Its not a progressives/moderates thing but a how did you reach out to your supporters, did you put in the effort, spend the resources, on the right media, did you utilize 21st century media, etc. AOC has worked to make connections with the younger generation and used modern forms of communication to get her message out so people see it. It was primarily about messaging, but I'm not really seeing a conflict with the idea that the dem establishment is full of poo poo. https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1324698828944138243 I mean, gently caress: https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1324696270674530304 Might as well paste in the dril tweet about unloading an entire mag of bullets into your leg.

Acebuckeye13 posted:I think you missed a later post she made: I did, because it's not part of the same thread. Twitter is great. quote:It's not really about who has progressive policies, but rather who's putting in the work to reach their voters—and consequently, moderate dems shouldn't be blaming progressives for losing when they were the ones who just shoved all their money into TV ads and barely bothered with digital engagement. The bolded part is what I focused on, especially because of garbage like this: https://twitter.com/ericawerner/status/1324439295847968768 I think we agree on point of "progressives aren't the reasons the Ds did poorly in this election, it's the fact that the D establishment is poo poo". Sorry for the confusion. the yellow dart posted:I don't think its a given that those same people win, even though policies like marijuana legalization, $15 minimum wage, and MFA are extremely popular. Given the relative density of brainworms in the general population, it remains difficult for me to see Bernie, et al., winning persuasively across the country. I mean, part of that is because the supposed left party constantly runs away from those issues. Embrace the actual progressive policies, work them into your platform, bash the media in the head until it starts actually educating voters and stops with false equivalency and "both sides" nonsense. I'd also like a pony and a few billion dollars, since that has about the same chance of happening.

wins32767 posted:Yep, and we should prosecute folks who broke the law from Trump on down, full stop. But we're going to have to get a big chunk of our fellow citizens that voted for Trump to help fix the problems that exist in our country or they get worse and saying "gently caress em" isn't exactly the best way to start that process. The other side has no problems simultaneously getting poo poo done and saying "gently caress em" to the opposition.

facialimpediment posted:Try not to think about / go down this path very hard. Donnie yelled for a flood of support for his NY trial and nobody showed up. A lot of the chuddier wingnut types are convinced that any and all public events are glowing with undercover feds. i disagree w/ this because the crime thing was whatever. he's not in any danger there, absolutely nobody thought he was going to jail over it. this was him getting shot at. he's not asking for help, he's literally the target of attempted homicide. and the initial story, the one a lot of people are gonna read and not see the updates of, was that he personally took one to the ear, not that it was debris from a missed shot.

Occam's razor and his Vegas stop suggest he really did have it; otherwise there's not much of a reason for him to go through all of the trouble and hassle. I'm sure the isolation gave him some quality thinking time, though.

florida has 22 million people in it, third biggest state. that's not nothing. kamala pulled in over $100M in fundraising in the last few days alone, so as long as she's not going overboard, i think some money in florida is well-spent. in today's connected age, people in florida are gonna talk to other people, and it *really* helps the blue in florida feel like they're not getting totally ignored in a deep red state. they might not win it, but if it can push any downticket races to a W... speaking of, there's been a surge of volunteers in FL quote:Originally Published: July 26, 2024 at 4:48 p.m.
