the first indication that she had a chance was when crowley's campaign conducted a poll and didn't release the results

but still, even in the week before the vote, ppl involved were hoping she would break 40%

then on election day, it was clear by like noon that she was kicking rear end

i spent all evening consciously dampening my optimism to avoid heartbreak but anyone objective could see she was running away with it

Adrian Chiles is a broadcaster and writer

one of the big reasons labour became such a mess here in the UK imo is that under blair all the candidates/MP's came from working in politics as advisers or whatever and lost a ton of people who'd held real jobs like being a teacher or whatever become an MP

Pelosi, however, pushed back on that notion. When asked by CBS News' Nancy Cordes if democratic socialism is "ascendant" in the Democratic Party, Pelosi responded with a firm "no."

"No. They're not," Pelosi said. "It's ascendant in that district perhaps! But I don't accept any characterization of our party presented by the Republicans. So let me reject that right now."

what institutions are producing people ready to do quality staff work for left wing officeholders?

i would guess CEPR, EPI...any academic departments?

i've seen MMT people clustered around either UKMC's econ dept or Bard's Levy Economics Institute. UMass-Amherst (infamously, perhaps) also has a lefty, 'heterodox' econ department.

INET (institute for new economic thinking) is definitely another place to look

That's my fear for 2020 and I'm not sure it will fail when all the moderate / centrist libs jump on the Bloomberg train and split the vote

Its gonna be a fun night when New York goes TRUMP!

I'm still going to support Bernie though
The funny thing is Bloomberg would get almost as much from Republicans as he would from Democrats, if not more

Bernie would be getting votes the same way AOC would, from non-voters.

Readers will be shocked to learn that we found a Trump voter, who is openly skeptical on Jared Kushner being Jewish because he doesn't visibly have horns, that does not like a Socialist woman of color from New York City.

how is this a gem

idk why it's a bad idea to train people on basic stuff like tracking early voting numbers, creating walk/phone universes for volunteers, doing candidate call time/prospecting potential donors, talking to media, etc. there are a lot of staffers who aren't very good or don't know how to do that stuff and the dnc in the past has done basically nothing to train anyone, so this seems like a small step forward.

Lol if you got half the people who didn't vote in 2016 to turn out for the left (pretty much impossible but one can dream) the dems would have veto proof majorities in both houses

Even a third or a forth of those people would still ensure a very healthy majority

But yeah, lets go after the block of voters that support Trump and haven't moved an inch from their positions after everything that has happened in the last few years
