You have to be wilfully ignorant to not see a coordinated pushback against leftist candidates. They keep insisting the district is too blue to spoil, but that's not what the play is. Crowley thinks he can win on a combination of name recognition, higher turnout of older voters and established community networks (i.e. churches and unions) for a general election, and a national media narrative against the DSA.

Radish posted:Honestly I think what's going to hurt the centrist candidates is the same thing that hurt Hillary. "Why are you even running?" Booker, Biden, etc really have no reason to run other than naked ambition since they really can't point to anything that has helped anyone (outside of pulling that one guy out of the fire) or plans to fix anything and I think not being Trump isn't really enough especially in the primary where everyone is not Trump. People don't get excited to help some politician get another line on their resume so when the conservative Democrats start talking about how awesome their 20 part plan to have wealth trickle down from corporate tax credits is everyone is going to tune out. I'm really hoping people nostalgic for Obama don't just vote Biden because of name recognition since his presidency would probably be incredibly damaging long term. At least people hate Trump so much that it's making in roads for thinking about fixing huge systemic issues. Biden will get into power, say that we need to all get along, then work with Republicans to help their agenda, do nothing about the courts that have been flooded with fascists, then shrug his shoulders in 2024 when Trump But Smart gets elected and scoot off to some lobbyist job. Don't worry, it's going to be russia poo poo and trump bad.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:I’m more worried about wheeling out an 80 year old man as president. There’s gotta be someone younger who is as or more progressive. There isn't. Everyone who came of age in the 90s and has any political experience is irreversibly tainted by end of history centrism.

Main Paineframe posted:He's also wrong. Kerry opposed gay marriage in 2004. Fulchrum has either either forgotten or deliberately obfuscated where the "gay marriage hurt Kerry" narrative came from, because it's far more vile than that. I thought it was because right wing activists put anti-gay marriage referenda on the ballots of key states like Ohio to whip up evangelical turnout. Not that it wasn't also used as an excuse to punch left when Kerry lost.

I think Greenwald's work is important, and I don't give a poo poo what network he uses to get his message out. But it's hard to know what to make of his association with Pierre Omidyar and his outfit's shameful bungling of Reality Winner. Land of contrasts and all that.

Lightning Knight posted:I had to look up who Pierre Omidyar is. What is Greenwald’s association with him? He seems like a run of the mill techbro but I’m just looking at Wikipedia. He's the money behind first look media and the Intercept. He also appears to tied into western funding of the recent Ukrainian coup (and associated nazi groups) and the investment arm of the GCC. Maybe it affects Greenwald's reporting and maybe Glen just sees him as a means to an end. It's murky and weird.

joepinetree posted:Greenwald was completely unrelated to the Reality Winner thing (Greenwald is a columnist and holds a ceremonial title at the intercept). In addition, while the whole showing the printing marks thing was an obvious gently caress up, it is important to understand that the main reason Winner was caught wasn't that. That was a minor thing used to provide confirmation. Winner emailed the intercept from her work email, and then later from her work computer. The printing marks thing may have given them additional evidence, but she was pretty much done the second she did that. There's no publication that can ensure your anonymity if you keep emailing them from your work email and work computer. He's listed #2 on the masthead as founding editor and columnist, so forgive me if I don't buy that he's purely emeritus. Regardless of the relative role the Intercept's sloppiness in the ultimate prosecution of Winner, it's a bad look for the organization.

Republicans have one of the most effective propaganda machines in human history that's able to gasslight like 45% of the country at any given time. Liberal media types absolutely refuse to believe the power it has to shape public perception.

So the Republicans were able to spin up a big turnout push in the last months of the election and largely blunted public reaction to Trump. I see nothing to suggest 2020 isn't going to be anything but an easy Trump win.
