Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumAre we really just going to ignore data on the voters we need and just "go with our hearts"
So selfish, childish, self-indulgent, immature, naive, and dumb.
If you're not running to WIN, then why bother.
This is a base PLUS election. Whoever gets those PLUS voters, wins. You better believe trump is targeting EACH of those PLUS voters with 1000 targeted --- tailored ---- FB ads each. And he started 2 years ago. 2 years ago.
If we're not going after those PLUS voters, just to the right of the center, who voted for Obama then trump, then WE WILL LOSE. And they DON'T want Medicare for ALL. And they DON'T praise Fidel Castro.
The election is already OVER in 35 states. Don't pander to CA. It's over there. Don't pander to NY or OR. Election is over there. Over!
This election is in the swing counties of WI, MI, PA, AZ.
You don't go after the PLUS voters by telling them your pie in the sky dreams of a progressive utopia. You make it about THEIR dreams. This is the basics of sales 101.

(36,055 posts)So let's not give the guy credit for fakery. And Americans see through all that. They also see more awful things have happened on his watch than any good thing (singular) that's happened on his watch.
Maybe votes come out of that awareness more than anything Bernie does. Maybe he's just tapping into that awareness. With 48+ primaries to go, we'll see more the way voters do by summer.

(16 posts)Where's the data? The only hard data I've seen has come from Picketty, and that proves that Bernie is the strongest candidate. Sorry if the electorate has change, but you haven't.
