they didn't rescind the auto-paycuts to medicare/medicaid for the stimulus bill but I was told they will rescind the cuts before they are made. Snap of the fingers and poof! they're gone! :kiddo:

Wait medicare cuts were in the final bill?

2018 was hosed because we didn't have nearly the infrastructure necessary to do it well, so let's focus on 2020.

1. We only got in contact with 15% of the electorate via field. That might sound low, but that's actually around the upper limit of what a campaign can typically speak to as most people do not answer their doors or phones.
2. Had COVID not occurred, we would've had substantially more in person events. My idea was to have constant concerts in urban areas of Delaware through the Spring and Summer. In lieu of community, the plan was we'd make our own. COVID derailed that.
3. Bernie's 2020 performance is irrelevant in Delaware. The Presidential primary was July. In 2016, he got about 30,000 votes... which is actually roughly the same as both 2018 and 2020 Senate primaries.
4. Bernie's campaign was rife with its own issues in 2016 and 2020, and that's kind of a separate topic.

I don't disagree COVID hosed over a lot things. To be honest I don't know gently caress all about 2018 and really only 2020 because of your posting about it. I just don't know what anything that passes itself off as Left wing in the national scale could have done to help you out. Both because of COVID and that these organizations seem to be all lead by ladder climbers hell bent on curbing radicalism

Hell you did better than me after Bernie betrayed us I fell into a deep despair throughout 2020 so at least you were actively trying to improve things, so this is not a criticism of you

The volunteers and money ould probably have helped, though I don't know if it'd have put you over. The press is harder since there's a concerted effort to ignore the Left in anything that isn't a negative light in both local and national media.

you can't fault nichael for trying to do something, even if it might have been hopeless it was still worth doing

I think the primary kinda proved to us that the dem party establishment and the media have an incredibly solid grasp on who is acceptable in the primary and the only people who vote in Dem primaries are people who think the media is trustworthy

I think Boomers (and Gen X) fully internalized that Left politics is a loser, Reaganism is forever so nothing can convince them of the alternative. It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism, etc. Etc. Etc

the entire liberal media class is patting the dems on the back for introducing a $1.9 trillion bill in january and not cutting hundreds of billions before passing it, which like sure i guess but isn’t that like way over congratulating them for doing what they said they would (but also while stripping $15/hour and tens of millions of stimmy checks from it)?


the tone of it is so boot licky (yeah they’re journalists)
