At the end of the day maybe the Hillary campaign and its surrogates shouldn't have spent months signalling to everyone with reservations about her that they weren't loving needed and had the election well in hand without them.

I think the voters who share the biggest blame for Trump that arent Trump voters are the Dem superdelegates, who, despite having the one job of overriding the party's mass of voters when they select an unelectable fringe candidate and installing a runner-up with much broader appeal to people outside the party and the ability to win over swing voters, failed to do so when that situation appeared

Weird how the person who kept an enemies list of Democrats who didn't support her enough to avenge herself on had trouble unifying the party behind her. This is why Bernie is our only hope at smashing Republican dominance in this country. He's the only one trying to build an inclusive movement instead of pursuing a short-sighted divide and conquer strategy

And if every single Johnson voter had voted Trump in addition to Hillary getting all Stein voters, then Hillary would have lost those three states by even bigger margins and would have also lost minnesota, maine, nevada (where stein was not on the ballot), and new hampshire.

Ah you're right, I misremembered, I was thinking of the analysis that showed third-party voters didn't change the outcome, because if every Stein voter had voted Hillary and every Johnson voter had voted for Trump the outcome would have been the same. But you're right, flipping Stein voters alone would have done it after all, I guess we'd better find a candidate who can bring them into the Democratic Party this time around, and the primary thread is the perfect place to figure out who that might be!

Yeah, or build enough support that less than 100,000 voters in three states don't swing the election. Perhaps by supporting strong pro-worker policies and appealing to people outside the typical voter pool, or just by being the actual guy who won the primary in two of those three states.

Biden has made clear that criticism of him is critcism of Obama. It's a smart strategy since the other Dems are scared of being accused of criticizing Obama, and since we all know Biden is the most electable candidate, this strategy will definitely work even better against Trump, who will similarly be scared away from criticizing Biden

Everything you like about Obama; remember Joe was there and probably actually came up with the idea if you think about it. Everything you hate about Obama; remember Joe was a powerless prisoner of circumstance, crying the right answer into the wind.

goethe.cx posted:nate silver continues to Piss Me Off Inslee is from WA state, which might as well be the moon as far as DC is concerned. He's a white boomer man in an ever-diversifying Democratic field. He has no base. He's perfectly FINE in his role, and probably has completed his name-recognition-gathering mission for a cabinet level post (maybe even VP for a theoretical Harris ticket), but ultimately this was not a repudiation of ANYTHING regarding what the Dem electorate wants policy-wise. If anything, his answer that Trump was the greatest threat to the country suggests the opposite, that he didn't stump for his issue ENOUGH when given a public forum.

Insley had no chance when he hosed over his own gimmick by saying trump was the biggest threat to America instead of climate change. I mean he BASICALLY had no chance even before that but that meant even people who just wanted a climate change candidate on the debate stage had no reason to bother donating.

Inslee is one of those safe, socially progressive white guys that would've been good presidential material 20 years ago. Right place, wrong time. And like a safe pick does, he didn't endorse anyone specific on his way out. I hope someone socialist shows up in the governor's race so I can kick him out of the governor's seat too.

That's a shame. He had some really exceptional plans to address the climate crisis and, while he wasn't my first or second choice, I thought he had a better reason to be on stage than most of the other dozen identical white dudes. At least he shifted the debate a bit and got MSNBC and CNN to organize a climate change townhall. (I suspect part of the reason behind him dropping out is that he didn't look likely to qualify for it, let alone the upcoming debates.) Hopefully the nominee strip mines some of his climate policies for the general.
