Official Election Month Thread: COUP falls short, nothing to see here

Again, if Pelosi wants Dems to run on winning issues, she should be passing bills regarding those issues in the House and advertising the hell out of them.

Agreed. Problem is with a big tent everyone wants their voice/fav cause etc heard. Elizabeth Warren had a plan for everything. I like that. Everyone should. The gop just runs on a few small ideas - often not even actual policies just thoughts- and that message cuts through the confusion. That helps ring in and keep low info voters.

Many people have a hard time processing long, detailed, nuanced policy positions. Unless the 25 page policy position paper can have its main theme expounded in an 8 second sound bite, Many people won't pick it up. Or they will write it off as "ivory tower" stuff. If the Democrats don't write their own sound bites, the republicans will do it for them. And not in a good way.

Huh? How did Bernie get a plurality of voters in the 2020 primary? Biden had twice as many votes. And why on earth does that matter now?

The fear was that Dems would turn on each other if Biden won and that’s definitely the case.

Meant thru Super Tuesday when it was still an actual race but you’re right it doesn’t matter

100% correct. Republicans are great at the sport of politics. They are all about symbols and messages that work, even though there is very little policy behind it. Democrats allow republicans to label everything as socialist or let a small section of the left wing lead with defund the police messages.

Even if some of those are your actual policy goals you have to be astute enough to realize it’s terrible messaging. Democrats do have policy positions that poll very well in broad terms, but they suck at messaging, allow Fox News and the talk radio echo chamber to overwhelm and scare people and spend too much time infighting about purity and winning twitter popularity contests.

Look at what Pete Buttigedge was able to do with all of those Fox appearances. That type of messaging is needed.
 
Proud to say our county beat our Clinton contribution in ‘16 by almost 8 pts and counting so far.
 
Biden captures 83% of the latest upload of counted votes in PA. His take on all votes counted today is 69.17%. He's well on track to win PA. He now trails by 75K and change. Of the 106,413 votes counted that I have tracked today, Biden has a net gain on Trump of 40,797.
 
Whoa, Biden must have won. Just heard a news reporter actually call Trump a liar rather than dancing around it by saying he misrepresents the truth or makes false claims. Teflon Don is getting treated like everyone else now.
 
Claire McCaskill got an endorsement from fucking ICE agents union and lost. Seems reasonable to question her strategy on how to win.
