I was looking forward to a relatively good (though still pretty lovely and biased) debate with maybe eight people on stage, but they're gonna make sure at least a dozen+ qualify so they can do the idiotic two night thing again. Why sell ads for one night when you can stretch it out? And enough time for substantive answers from candidates? Nah, our preferred picks don't do too hot in that format.

I just got invited to a meetup for Warren volunteers, and I feel it is my civic duty to go and as best I can try to convert those Warrenites into Sanders Siblings. Seeing as how she presents herself as the intelligent wonk who has a plan for everything, it strikes me that maybe some of you folk here who are knee deep into archaic prose might have some convincing arguments that might work to help recruit some real life potential comrades. If you would please lend me your finest bespoke decorum-filled arguments in favour of Comrade Bernard, artisinally hand-crafted to appeal to the Warrenite Succbrain, I'd be very thankful. G-d bless.

Others can probably do this better than me but the main one is that she still doesn't have Medicare for All on her issues page. That's a huge red flag and she's equivocated on this how many times...? And we both know who wrote the bill for that one. Bernie's proposals to tax wealth are better and more serious as others have mentioned, tax policy center has a writeup on that. Bernie is far better on foreign policy (though IDK how much the average voter actually cares unfortunately). edit: nevermind you're talking about canvassing with Warren ppl TrixR4kids fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Aug 13, 2019 |

This is what he should have done right out the gate. Gardner is on borrowed time and Hickenlooper would probably wipe the loving floor with him. No one wants Hickenlooper as President, but he'd be extremely useful as a tie breaker or better in Senate. Now Beto.....take queues.

Colorado can do better. It's going to be darkly hillarious when all these loving assholes who should have just run for Senate drop out, run for Senate, and then lose because they're loving losers who are only running for Senate because they got their rear end kicked in the Presidential Primary. Alternatively these assholes manage to win, and then undermine Bernie's legislative agenda with the same gusto as they're making GBS threads on it in the current race. gently caress 'em.

Hickenlooper can't do enough to stymie the will of Democratic voters in the presidential race, maybe he can be a big D Republican in the senate and get it done directly. Hopefully Colorado does better.

I frequently see people encouraging Beto to run for Senate, but there are better Democrats who will be in that primary (and I can't imagine the same isn't true for Hickenlooper).

I think you’ve got your selling point right there in the last sentence. Just call them “Warrenite Succbrains”. I’m sure they will be very responsive to whatever decorum-filled arguments you present afterwards. A perfect conversation starter, for example, could lead off with: “Look, Warrenite Succbrains, [insert whatever else you want to say here].” Then you could report their responses back to wherever you’d like, for shits and giggles.

Don't treat people with mildly disguised contempt. Even if you think you're right, people have a way of feeling when they're being condescended to. Lots of sheltered white people got woke in the last three years, they're not really aware of the large and sometimes contradictory constellation of ideas that is leftism (or have any real moral or philosophical framework with which to explore those ideas).

The best way I can think of to attempt convert Warren supporters is to just ask people how they feel about the issues where there's the biggest difference - namely Medicare for All and foreign policy. Regarding the former in particular, if you can get them to agree that it's very important that the specific bill is passed, just explain how Sanders has clearly been more consistent as an advocate for it. If they're the type of person who is "open to other alternatives," you might as well just give up since the ideological difference is too great and Warren actually probably represents them better than Sanders. Another possible angle is to see if they support Warren because they perceive has more electable. I mention this because, for whatever reason, this was my parents' view. Many (realistically most) people aren't aware of polling and may genuinely have no idea that Warren usually polls worse than Sanders, or that Sanders' base is younger people and that he does better with minority groups than Warren. In general, most Warren supporters probably can't be converted, since most like Warren for reasons that have nothing to do with facts or policy.

as i said in the other thread the people who are going to a volunteer event to do unpaid work for a particular candidate are probably not going to be receptive to someone showing up trying to say why their candidate is not as good as some other candidate. i think your time is better spent just volunteering at bernie events to talk to voters, many of whom will have warren as their first choice but are persuadable
