I think the issue is that even if you do this, there's a good chance that, in the weeks/months that follow before they actually vote, they end up just changing their mind and deciding to vote for the person the TV says is best.

This is why "making people think leftist policies/politicians are good" is not an answer. You have to make them think that other Democrats are bad. Otherwise they'll think "yeah Bernie is great!" and then still vote for Biden. But this is easier said than done, because many people are put-off by "negativism" and have pre-existing positive opinions about the Democratic Party.

Yeah this is basically how you get folks going "well i like Bernie a lot, but MSNBC thinks that Biden is the safest option and he supports the same things I like about Bernie anyway" once they go into the voting booth.

A leftist criticizing IdPol doesn't mean they are some kind of red+brown vanguard, they are speaking against obvious corporate tokenism that idiot believers in the democrat party use as cudgel against policies that improve material conditions for everyone. Don't hand wring about however the boogiemen in your head use it, and look at the context it is actually used in.

it's insane that they had a better campaign structure in 2016, the election where Bernie was running purely as a protest opposition up until late 2015, than they did in 2020. he had years of lead up time, what the gently caress were any of these people doing?

Oh Snapple! posted:

i'm going to make a big assumption that his 2016 campaign had a larger percentage of "true believer" folks who actually wanted to get poo poo done while his 2020 campaign was filled with people there for a paycheck at best and personally hostile toward his politics at worst

I've been trying to suppress how disappointed I've been with the 2020 primary since Super Tuesday.

Ultimately, to me the major loss was not leveraging the existing volunteer network to do more coordination and planning before primary season. There were a lot of passionate and committed people with different skill sets and perspectives that could have been more effectively utilized to plan and win. There really was no game plan to coordinate the tactical with strategic plan at all when there easily could have been in early 2019. There was also another major missed opportunity in leveraging data for targeting local efforts and ads (at least from national people I talked to). I don't know if it was Bernie's, Jeff Weaver's, or someone else's doing - or simply from lack of continuity between the two campaigns as a lot of people did roll off. Deep down, I feel that the campaign would have been better managed by Paradox Games players than Jeff Weaver, Faiz, et al.

One place where the campaign seemed to have been more effective was in directly canvassing immigrant groups & labor. But that was still tip of the iceberg in terms of potential. Separately, there were some quality-of-life improvements in organizing with the updated digital platform, i.e. being able to create canvassing events and attract volunteers but that's marginal value without a coordinated plan.

Even then, I don't know if Warren, unambiguous media suppression and interference, and the Obama rat-loving could have been overcome.

Don't forget that every single thing said in the media about the candidates was designed at a molecular level to favor Joe Biden.

In a society of soundbites and headlines it's pretty impactful when they are all lies trying to transparently push a narrative that then works completely

seeing all the candidates roll over for Biden at once in the 2020 primary was enough to completely end my enthusiasm with politics

i understand the system is a complete fabrication, and I know they won't dispel any part of the illusion because the whole thing would fall apart if they did.

they went through all this trouble to try to reassure us that the primary process wasn't a sham and then they made it even more obvious the second time around. they could just get rid of the primary process, but then people might realize wall street are picking the candidates

bernie lost because of the extreme amount of apathy among large segments of the US. it was still very low voter turnout - the whole point of Sanders was to turn out disenfranchised citizens and in the primaries it didn't work in some states. i don't think the bernie campaign was misrun necessarily, tho \

i think covid ruined any chance of bernie taking it even if the other candidates hadn't all laid down and died after a smokey back-room meeting

people were nervous about attending primaries and many states had no mail-in infrastructure so it was always gonna come down to whoever had the most money

with his specific campaign goals is also the implication that he is still in the democrat primary process for a presidential election and those other voters still exist and he needs the votes that are being turned off by an organized multi-billion dollar mass media machine designed to destroy him as a candidate, even if he is targeting other ones with specific tactics and outreach

Most of the people who vote in Dem primaries/who the DNC expects to vote for them in November would probably be OK with Wall Street picking the candidates. The Panera, Brunch, and younger idpol-motivated segments have unshakable naive optimism about the political system and trust in those who manage it. All that's needed is the perception that there's accountability for those who violate that trust (e.g. even if Cuomo isn't unseated or Trump isn't ejected from office, the fact enough outrage exists is that accountability).

The RNC is the party portraying itself as the party for the (culturally) dispossessed.

It could have resulted in someone other then biden winning the presidency though. And any leftist that wants to destroy the democratic party has to be willing to with hold support regardless of the alternative.

If warren had dropped out so would have bloomberg, and bloomberg hurt biden worse than warren hurt bernie. Bernie got absolutely stomped because there's a ceiling for a message of "I want big time change from everything the last president did" when he refuse to criticize anything obama related directly

He basically campaigned to raise awareness like it was a kony 2012 poo poo. Total waste of time. He couldn't even beat buttigieg in iowa despite buttigiegs platform consisting of "I'm a nobody with no ideas"
