loquacius posted:can someone explain to me how the Clinton campaign "went high" at all, while we're on the subject "when they go low, we go high" wasn't a clinton campaign line. it was given by michelle obama at the dem convention, probably a speech written by obama's staff although i dunno the specifics on how much autonomy is given to speakers at big dem events like that either way, it was never connected to actual campaign strategy and only caught on as a catch phrase because it came from the only inspiring speech at the convention. which is why it's a little ironic that it's also caught on as a symbol of democrat incompetence, since i think it's still pretty good advice (don't get distracted by mud throwing, focus on the promises you intend to deliver).

Dreylad posted:bernies foreign policy wasn't that different from clinton or anyone else but no presidential candidate runs as a peacenik. the closest you get is isolationist but that doesn't mean much since the US can remotely bomb or drone strike anywhere now this was conventional wisdom in the uk too until about a month ago

GalacticAcid posted:pretty good post up at newrepublic from sarah jones on democrats' annoying rear end email campaigns the fact that campaign contractors apparently can't selectively message the senior citizens that this poo poo apparently works on and avoid everybody else that sees through it immediately really underscores exactly how worthless the data driven approach to campaigning is

Concerned Citizen posted:list segmentation is a common strategy, obviously this doesn't just work on old people. i hate the emails too but it's hard to deny that it has raised a ton of money. it's not hard at all. the e-mails only start after you make your first donation. track the number of people who donated again after the e-mails started arriving in their inbox, by age group and maybe split up by various points in the campaign where e-mail density went sharply up. then you can make a conclusion about whether or not the emails raised a ton of money instead of talking out your rear end about how great they were

people think hillary's really mad at sanders but that couldn't be more obviously false, right after the election she tried going about her business, she tried calling for unity, she tried blaming sanders. the last one got the most attention, so she's rolling with it. that's just how triangulating works

racism extremely obviously was the primary reason trump won the election, and the reason that almost everything in american history that happened has happened. there's just many more smaller and easier to fix things about clinton's campaign that tipped three states in the midwest from blue to red
