2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[FAH1223]

Campaign spending strategy is an interesting phenomenon

There are many ways to market yourself (or a product) essentially for free..and those ways can often be just as effective or more so than spending money on it.

Yang is great on twitter and that is firmly outweighing any tv ad he could purchase

Lets say a 60-80 year old reliable voter is watching tv and sees a Yang UBI ad for the first time..theyre gonna have a combination of as in.."cool, but no chance this guy will ever be able to actually make this happen".

On platforms like his website or twitter with more drawn out explanations..the plan seems more viable and sensical.

The money it would take to convince a potential voter about UBI being possible on TV would simply cost too much if its not executed perfectly

With that said, he needs name recog with these people and has to buy the ad time or he stands no chance.

He cant pull a Kasich and just hang around while hoping for some outlandish brokered convention because he would never be an option in that circumstance. Hes gotta make moves asap

Those claims that Stoller is a racist were always bizarre and unfounded.

1. There's no Brexit in the USA, so Bernie and Liz don't have that problem. Corbyn waffled and was in a no win position. He opted to consolidate the remain vote but he lost dozens of seats that have always voted Labour due to Brexit. Remember, he increased Labour's vote share in 2017 and picked up 30 seats two years ago. Unfortunately, Labour's slide began early this year when they didn't stake out a position on Brexit. Look at the polls! Labour was polling tied with the Tories or even ahead early in 2019.

2. Labour manifesto and policy wasn't what did them in.

3. Corbyn while popular with Labour members was unpopular around the country. Part of that was a smear campaign on him by the media which was done to Gordon Brown and Ed Milliband before him. This speaks to structural problems with Labour and how they deal with the media too.

facts. White progressives only get a voice during the primaries.

Is there a reason why Bernie and Warren fans never post black progressive ideas in here?

these daily attacks on Hilary/Warren and Bernie need to stop.

it’s beyond grotesque. The media is doing everything they can to keep a progressive candidate out of the race.

it’s just a matter of time before they start interviewing Bernies old friends about his drug use.

Also Elizabeth Warren isn’t a socialist and the two links below go in depth on that. Lumping her with Bernie as a socialist is misinformation.

the yahoo article is probably one of the best ones I’ve read, on warren. She spins her mistakes pretty well.

She continues say she doesn’t cater wealthy donors. Obviously that’s bullshyt. Her superpac funding is huge. But some ppl believe her on that. So she has no reason to change her messaging.



She also keeps saying 2% which is another lie.

She pushes the incorrect ‘nothing would fundamentally change’ interpretation. But y’all believe that, so it’s working for her.

Side note: it’s weird to see democrats pissed that we have a trade war.
