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.

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.

as an STL resident, she’s got her own issues and has an online following that can best be described as Harris-esque. the mayoral race was between two left-ish women and Jones leaned heavily on idpol in a lot of her campaigning as her opponent was white. it’ll be interesting to see how she goes.

I lived there from 2012-16 and I had friends for Cara and Tishuara in this cycle. In 2016 they both seemed *fine* at the least. I remember Tishuara getting screwed over by Antonio French in the primary and I briefly interacted with Cara a few times. Either way, both were better than stooge Krewson.

"Trust/believe science" is a catchphrase that has nothing to do with actual science. Science needs to be understood, not "believed in". What they mean is "trust our appointed Experts who will tell you what to think", which libs lap up since they're authoritarian bootlickers

As a Professional Science Man, it's a nice way to pay lip service to an entire field that's on average quite liberal without actually preserving their interests - much like any other identity politics. It makes me pretty goddamn sad to see it actually work.

FWIW I met her once or twice but never really got to know her, but same activist circles. Friends & acquaintances respected her & her work. There were a few shitheads in the activist community in STL and she was not one. I escaped from STL before she won so dunno what happened since give or take social media.
