My theory about this sort of thing is that people tend to default to "being friendly" on the phone and are likely like "that sounds good!" when the phone bankers tell them stuff about the candidate, but by the time election day rolls around they've completely forgotten and just vote for the first name on the ballot like always.

As a result, the caller comes away thinking "I've converted this person!" when that isn't actually true.


I have been phone polled on smaller races and the way they asked the questions they probably came away with the idea that I was a supporter or at least very possible supporter, when in fact I hate the candidate & have specific evidence of them being anti-union shitheads etc.

Yeah, but this is the sort of thing that volunteer training should filter out. I really doubt this was the issue. The issue was there's practical limit of field can do, especially with the limits of COVID, and it ultimately wasn't enough when so outspent.

All you people in Delaware should join the DSA and elect Nichael to be king of the DSA so he can unseat the guy who appears to be running an op.

I'm sorry Nichael but I have to support Chris Coons now. I only back winners.

Joking aside, I envy you for getting involved in something bigger than yourself and making lifelong contacts with people because you got out there and did poo poo. You walked your talk, and none of the blackpilled C-spam weirdos can take that away from you.

WFP backed Warren because she apparently was much easier to work with than Bernie. They make dumb mistakes but:

They are the only major national organization to invest in Delaware leftists. They backed Kerri and Jess, and seemingly want to give us the infrastructure to do more here.

Well by coincidence I got a text from them earlier today asking me for money and to join a call, and I told them to beat it specifically calling out the endorsement vote / override of membership when I did. I mean I participated in that vote so I didn't appreciate getting overruled by the loving "leadership."

I haven't heard from them since before they endorsed Warren, for what that's worth.

No, they are very results oriented and Bernie is apparently hard to actually work with in a professional environment. I don't know much beyond this. It doesn't mean that endorsing Warren was particularly smart, but having worked on campaigns, I can understand where they were coming from.

I also genuinely appreciate that they are the one group that gives a poo poo about Delaware, and may even be willing to keep people employed here year round so we can continue to get people like Madinah, Larry, Marie, and Eric... and eventually people like Jess or Eugene Young elected.

The plan was always to focus on flipping Delaware's legislature, even if Jess won. That's still the plan, and the results of 9/15 are very encouraging because it seems like people will vote for leftists on the local level. In the short term, I want to raise money to hire people to organize here, and immediately start to work on the 2022 cycle. In the long term, I want to flip Dover from succ to left (and make the ending of Fight Club real)

Jess wants to facilitate that. Regarding other stuff, like running herself, it really depends on a variety of unknowable factors, like if Biden wins, and who is up for election in 2022's hypothetical special elections, or if Carper runs again in 2024.
