Pool for how much of the vote Wu gets in the primary

[Jaimas]

This is only half right. The ACTUAL extremist left is indeed losing. Greens get crushed everywhere they go.
But progressives with actual local bread and butter, broadly popular ideas, which just get CALLED "extremist" in the media but aren't, have won 570 races so far in 2018.
Danica Roehm didn't win because she's transgender or because she's radical. She had a plan to fix the highways.
And that kind of thing will keep winning. In my opinion.

That is actually true, but that's part of the same thing. Dems and Progressives closer to the center are the ones who're gonna walk away with the prizes once the dust settles, and in the interim you're going to see more of what we've already seen (where the establishment goes into fucking crazytown to defend say, MS-13, for example, because race, or the DNC functionally unpersoning anyone on the left who won't toe the ideologue line).

Every time someone in a pussy hat or a handmaiden robe goes on TV screaming "abolish ICE!" or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez makes an ass of herself, a suburban soccer mom decides to vote Republican if this is her only other choice. As a Republican operative, I hope they keep it up.

you realize a lot of those people wearing pussy hats at women's march rallies were, in fact, suburban white women? not all of suburbia is waukesha county.
anyway, at this point everyone's made up their minds on the culture wars and if you were going to switch parties because of it you already have (at least functionally, i realize places like west virginia are still full of registered democrats who always vote republican).
actually, on that, i don't know why the democrats think catering to the suburbs is a smart choice. conservative white rural poor people will vote for democrats if the democrats offer them something good economically; rich suburbanites don't have to care about anything other than culture war. i mean the democrats won't offer anything good economically so it's irrelevant, but still. (basically all the suburbs you hear about voting for hillary after always being republican strongholds are suburbs that are a lot less white than they used to be.)

Why is what's-his-nuts the former campaign manager still here? Did KF grow on him? Or is he just here to gloat (though about what, Wu getting 25% of the vote)?

Probly both lol.

 

[bigshot]

I didn't realize that there were only three candidates in the primary. If the winner got 75% and Woo got 25% and the unknown got nothing, I would say that people weren't voting for Woo, they were just voting against the other guy. I know people who register with the opposite party than the one they usually vote for just so they can vote for weak candidates in the primaries to oppose their choice in the other party.

This was merely testing the waters.

Brianna Wu will get into government by 2020. Congress by 2024.

The money's already drying up for them, since the Hillary Debacle cost them a fortune, and nobody is going to give them money to continue to fucking lose, so they're going to either have to get with the program out of simple self-interest or get swept aside.

They also spent a fuckton on some run-off elections in 2017, I think it was Georgia or some other southern state (not Alabama, which actually was won) where they coughed up BILLIONS more to campaign for someone, enough to do a lot of good elsewhere (like fix the Flint water crisis) but the candidate lost anyway.

Eh, who cares, we are fucked either way, it seems most politicians don't give a shit about the common people.

That's another thing that doesn't make sense. If I was a politician I would make that a fucking main point, I'm gonna fix the water system (cause from what I've read, it isn't just Flint having these issues), and wouldn't that give you a huge boost when it comes to the undecided voters? But no, we need to play party politics.

As a Republican operative

Oh my god, Jason Borne is on KF

 

[Professor Iris]

I really didn't want to vote on the poll.

The thought of Wu getting any higher than 1% is depressing enough as it is.

 

[Corbin Dallas Multipass]

You know, I'm thinking Wu ran the best possible campaign. Don't worry Warren, you certainly deserve a lot of credit, but not all of it.

Warren got Wu's name out there, got an air of legitimacy around them, and kinda helped with the various processes.
Wu's laziness meant there were not that many appearances, statements released, etc.

In other words, Wu's perfect position is "Oh I've heard of her, but I can't think of anything she's done". Because the only place to go from here is for people to learn more about Wu. And that would be utterly disastrous. The asian and POC votes, gone. The people turned off by insanity, gone. Wu's history is that of a really unpleasant huckster burning bridges as she goes.

Anyone can get 1% of the vote
