The beauty of movement strategy is that it's aspirational, visionary and based on what could be, with the right pressure applied. Sadly (but true), electoral politics are descriptive, rooted in the art of the possible now, not in the future. Confusing these is a category mistake.
Literally all that matters in electoral politics is what is possible right now. Everything else is irrelevant...all discussions re: the primary should be about what is possible. The rest is a luxury we don't have. I don't know they answer btw, but neither do you...better find it
I mean that I do not know for sure what is possible right now, and am not assuming I do...but others seem convinced, w/o real evidence, that their candidate is the ONLY one, who can win, etc...none of y'all know that. And the evidence you present for it is embarrassingly bad
And I mean, NO ONE knows...this is not a slam on Bernie..the never Bernie folks also don't know...everyone is playing games with the numbers and polls and guesswork, or pretending that donors=votes or rally participants=votes, or some survey says such and such...it means nothing
until we parse it for a) electoral college states; and b) AFTER the right's counter-narrative strategy is applied (which we can predict and then test in focus groups of voters)...but no one, for their own reasons, wants to do these things
