Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)I'm Afraid the Jill Stein Wing of the Sanders Campaign [View all]
is making predictable mistakes right now. Why Senator Sanders hired so many of them to serve near the top of his campaign is puzzling, but there it is.
In sending out a campaign script to be used by zealous amateur campaigners to attack Elizabeth Warren, those "Steinites" are breaking a very important rule of campaigning for Democratic offices. Senator Sanders and Elizabeth Warren pretty much share a common philosophy, so there is not much distinguishing them from each other. That means that they're dividing up the support from people who share their philosophy.
That's not a good thing in a crowded field of candidates. When you're "dividing and conquering" the same group of potential voters, you're losing your race. If there's a current leader in the race who can stand above the internal squabbling and not participate, that candidate is the one who benefits.
The Jill Stein wing is firm in their beliefs, but not that good at political campaigns. Senator Sanders was a little foolish in hiring them in the first place. They will bite him on the butt - just watch.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
