Cpt_Obvious posted:“What’s a good way to insult my big donors while also alienating my small donors?” Nah those mega-donors want him to have more grassroots support. They know their money is good, but it’s only good if he wins. Getting people to donate pocket change still creates the invested effect, boosts his raw unique donators number, and lowers his average donation amount, which are all positives to the Democratic base and can be touted in future campaign messages. It’s a way of cheesing the numbers. Bernie does it too but obviously he comes off as a lot more sincere, and asking for $1 is obviously very different than asking for 1 cent. A dollar is a positive number in your ledger while a penny probably does technically cost you money to process.

This is so loving transparent that it could only possibly work on the most hardcore of team politics Dems, so I guess I've gotta give some very small props to Pete for at least knowing his audience.

Reminds me of Gillibrand trying to make a debate threshold by offering free T-shirts for one dollar donations. Using her Wall Street cash to solicit donations for merch

I truly feel that Bernie winning Iowa would give him the nomination, so I hope the campaign goes all out and spends everything they've got. I've been giving money and may actually drive out to Iowa that weekend (though I'll probably just phone bank). It still feels like there's a lot of faith in the magic Bernie enthusiasm gap, that might not actually materialize.

I finally managed to get through to my centrist family yesterday. Got the whole bunch of them pretty upset about some of the things Pete Biden and Warren are doing and saying. When I said “he’s gonna win” I heard some “I hope so’s” The sad part about arguing with centrists is convincing them that good things are possible.

quote:“He can’t win the nomination,” said Matt Bennett, co-founder of the center-left group Third Way, adding that Sanders’ uptick is simply him “bouncing around between his ceiling and his floor a little bit more than people had thought he would.” The center-left group Third Way CENTER LEFT Edit: and from this article I have learned that not only is Gray Davis still alive, journalists actually ask him his opinion on things. I'm not sure why this happens, but it happened here. Wicked Them Beats fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Dec 26, 2019 |

I'm just getting around to watching the rest of the PBS primary and can I just say how all of these politicians are so goddamn out of touch. I know they have to get the "rust belt vote" or "middle america". I live on the coast and when they talk about people sitting down and doing their bills at the end of the month at the "kitchen table", well guess what! I don't have a kitchen table! My kitchen is a small hallway because I live in an apartment. And I'm far from the only one. These analogies are so loving dated. I do my bills on a laptop. Because I'm under 70 years old. Talk about rent control. Talk about anything that affects me. I would love someone to talk about rent control since the concept of buying a house is absolutely beyond my imagination.

The guy who supported Planned Parenthood and equal pay for the last 30 years is just as bad (or worse) for women than a (likely) child rapist and unapologetic serial sexual assaulter. It’s been said may times, but Liberals really do hate socialists more than fascists.

I remember in '16, that was one of the (many) criticisms leveled against Hillary, that she never did anything to earn anyone's vote and simply expected it as her due, and how dare we loving peasants expect her to appeal to her voters. So this is just some rear end in a top hat trying to gloat over some false equivalence poo poo so they can feel smug and get one over on the Berniebros of 4 years past.

I mean, those donut people are supposed to be Bernie’s foes, right? The fact that this was tweeted at all tells me two things: 1. They are actually starting to believe/notice that Bernie could win the primary and is probably the favorite, and 2. They are already preparing themselves psychologically to vote for this guy they have hated for years. This is all very encouraging. I worry about the centrist parts of the party working hard to keep the nomination from Bernie at the convention, but I’m less worried about him not getting support in the general from those people. Liberals hate Trump way more than some of you guys give them credit for; and they will turn out to defeat him, even if they still harbor negativity towards Bernie.
