"Delaware is Burning" started playing on my phone while I was driving this afternoon and between remembering CHRIS C--NS and this bullshit with Sinema I got so mad I had to pull over

the 2019/20 campaign was the only one with an original soundtrack. it was so cool.

You ran a good campaign Nichael and I hope Jess gets to do work elsewhere

I didn't run it, but thank you. I only did the field and volunteer stuff. We had two campaign managers who worked for free who ran it.

Delaware is a gently caress regardless.

In 2024 when Manchin and Sinema are eligible to be primaried, there is zero chance that libs clamoring for it today support it.

Manchin is an rear end in a top hat, but Sinema has almost certainly murdered multiple people.

“He’s thirty- eight,” Obama said, pausing for dramatic effect, “but he looks thirty.” The audience laughed. Obama was on a roll, using the tone of light ridicule he some-times pointed at himself— “ big ears” and “a funny name,” he’d said so many times before. Now, it was directed at Buttigieg. “He’s the mayor of a small town,” the former president continued. “He’s gay,” Obama said, “and he’s short.” More laughter.

If you guys personally talking to a sizable chunk of the primary electorate couldn't defeat these bastards (again working on the absurd notion that our elections are free and fair) what would Bernie have done, by how much did Biden beat him in the primary there? Again assuming that Bernie also didn't back the campaign because he didn't want to upset his good friend Joe by derailing his successor.

2018 was hosed because we didn't have nearly the infrastructure necessary to do it well, so let's focus on 2020.

1. We only got in contact with 15% of the electorate via field. That might sound low, but that's actually around the upper limit of what a campaign can typically speak to as most people do not answer their doors or phones.
2. Had COVID not occurred, we would've had substantially more in person events. My idea was to have constant concerts in urban areas of Delaware through the Spring and Summer. In lieu of community, the plan was we'd make our own. COVID derailed that.
3. Bernie's 2020 performance is irrelevant in Delaware. The Presidential primary was July. In 2016, he got about 30,000 votes... which is actually roughly the same as both 2018 and 2020 Senate primaries.
4. Bernie's campaign was rife with its own issues in 2016 and 2020, and that's kind of a separate topic.

I don't disagree COVID hosed over a lot things. To be honest I don't know gently caress all about 2018 and really only 2020 because of your posting about it. I just don't know what anything that passes itself off as Left wing in the national scale could have done to help you out. Both because of COVID and that these organizations seem to be all lead by ladder climbers hell bent on curbing radicalism

Hell you did better than me after Bernie betrayed us I fell into a deep despair throughout 2020 so at least you were actively trying to improve things, so this is not a criticism of you

Money, press, and volunteers would've helped a lot from organizations like Sunrise and leftist news outlets.

I feel like more peer pressure on the boomers on facebook would have probably helped. Those loving rear end in a top hat were only ever going to back a winner and it was clear there were only 5-6 of us constantly hitting the boomer facebook

does Sunrise actually have many people. I assumed they got press because they their organizers went to the same schools as the reporters.
as far as I know, they accounted for some absolutely absurd numbers for Bowman, Morse, and some others. Like 60%+ of the volunteer force of certain campaigns were Sunrise.

again though, does it matter if it was leading to tangible benefits for a real movement that literally everyone here supports? people can ignore if they want.

Lol goddamn if Nichael posted like that

there actually were traditional fundraising emails going out, along with call time, but the c-spam posting generally outpaced the emails.

late primaries are actually pretty helpful in strong blue states. it's not like we have actual general elections.

like term limits, I'm not sure that limiting campaign seasons would actually help the left. you'd probably end up seeing wealthy, establishment picks blitzkrieging in a short period of time.
