johnny Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 @skillzdadirecta saying he hears us is nothing. Prove it by running on more progressive policies. We can all say things. Guy doubled down on saying no to universal health care, so I doubt he will say more than kind words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how that works out. Joe's tweet about Bernie I think he's talking to you guys here, @johnny @b_m_b_m_b_m @Jason @SaysWho? and others. I will say this, did Hilldawg reach out to Bernie's folks like this in 2016? I don't remember that she did. He's got no message he needs to give me; I've voted Democratic since 2006. If you're talking about him seeing and hearing me, actions speak louder. We'll see who his VP pick is, his ideas for a Cabinet, and if he wants to choose more Republicans than progressives to circle him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom is a "The courts are worth it" Republican in regards to Trump. I do think that message has been much more effective with the GOP faithful.

Quote “Russ Feingold sent a flare up and said ‘I need help,’ ” Manley said, but it went largely ignored. Feingold, a former Democratic senator from Wisconsin, had long been favored to win his race against Sen. Ron Johnson. He ended up losing to the Republican incumbent, as Clinton’s collapse contributed to the downfall of Democratic Senate candidates. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/305339-clinton-world-dumbfounded-by-hillarys-election-defeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would only prove how dumb she was. "Oh no, Bernie doesn't like me and isn't returning my calls. I know what I should do - make no effort to reach out to his base!" Also: https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/30/politics/bernie-sanders-umbrage-clinton-2016/index.html So GTFO with this idea that Sanders somehow went around keying Clinton's car. He fought hard, and longer than he should have, but once she was the nominee he campaigned for her, and she did almost nothing to reach out to his base (or really anyone). Her campaign was horrible, and Sanders can't be blamed for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do that or help Russ Feingold when you can instead try to run up the score in Arizona, even though you have the money to do all of those things?

The one thing Trump has done extremely well is engage people on social media in a way no other politician has. Trump knows how to get his message out to his people. It might be terrible ramblings of a mad man, but he gets it out there in ways no one else is doing. I think that's his been "secret" to consistently over performing.
