When you combine the kind of preference for centrist stand-for-nothing candidates with an insular culture that actively ignores anyone outside of the DC beltway, you get a campaign strategy where motivation-by-fear is the only option they have:



there needs to be a serious struggle session at the dnc and dccc both if ossoff manages to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

even if ossoff loses it'll still be close and he'll still outperform quist's margin which will be enough evidence to go ahead with the prewritten columns about how he and macron have proved that moderate centrism is the way forward

so ossoff winning be best because it would generate the same takes but also means one less republican

What's cool about the GA election is that democrats are so unimaginative and lame that it's a tough call for most people to choose between decent but spineless ideology and straight up death but with balls.

In this example the woman candidatehas more balls than the male candidate

of course it's pretty much exactly the opposite of ossoff's actual plan, which is to go all-in on the rich, older, white "maybe theyre not really republican, maybe theyll find that the answer is actually right here in the middle, w/ me" fantasy demographic

sure, Ossoff has nothing to do with Bernie's political revolution, but I think what Bernie's done is radicalizing people who were already politically interested, not getting people newly engaged.

quote:

if only Bernie can carry his economic message, it can’t succeed legislatively anyway. The better test of his effectiveness will be whether every viable aspirant for the Democratic nomination runs on a platform comparable to Sanders’s. Gillibrand’s close alliance with Bernie after the election suggests that this is highly likely.

If Ossoff loses by a lot: we really have to be more conservative if we're gonna win these districts

If Ossoff loses by a little: our strategy of appealing to Republicans on fiscal policies almost worked in a deeply red district, it's a template for 2018

If Ossoff wins: that guy talking about Mao in Panera? he's the base of the Democratic Party now

I'm sympathetic to the argument that party membership should mean something - everybody here is talking up Corbyn while UK Labour costs £2-4 per month in order to be able to vote for the people who eventually themselves decide who the candidate will be - but like we're a long distance from there and here, for better or worse, party membership doesn't mean poo poo

also the only people who say "Bernie's not a Democrat" in tyool 2017 are feckless shitheads who have no strategy going forward but will be relitigating 2016 on their deathbeds

They don't actually give a poo poo, not really. If he was someone they agreed with they wouldn't say thing one on the subject. It's just a reason for them to take moral umbrage at his existence that isn't "I personally disagree with his politics."

e: or "I actually agree with his politics but I'm still mad he dared challenge Slay Kween" ofc
