    Bruh I literally phone banked on her campaign in 2018.

    So you didn’t watch it. It’s actually about 5 candidates not just AOC. Everything you just said is addressed in the documentary by people who’ve been phone banking and door knocking since before you were born.

    Just fuckin watch it god damn buddy jfc

        You don’t know what you don’t know.

        Can lead a horse to water… but you can’t make him think.

          You can engage with the points I’ve made or you can continue to suck your own dick.

          But its clear which path you’ve chosen.

          Have you ever run a campaign or been a part of one?

            This whole conversation is you trying to refute media you’re too lazy to watch. So no I don’t need to respect your opinions on this matter.

            And yes. I have,

            just click the fucking link and watch the stupid documentary ya fuckin turd

            edit: I’d happily engage your criticisms if you weren’t expecting me to waste my time refuting arguments you’re literally pulling from your ass

              I’ve seen the documentary. I worked the fucking campaigns in the fucking documentary you fucking dunce. I’m still working fucking campaigns you cynical cunt. I’ve worked winning campaigns and I’ve worked losing campaigns. I have a pretty good fucking calculus around what it takes to win an election.

              You could just abandon your cynicism and engage with the points I’ve made, but that would require you to stop sucking your own dick for a few minutes, and since thats seemingly never possible for you, I don’t think we should be holding our breath.

                  Literally the only thing I said is that its getting increasingly out of date because establishment candidates, in the 11 years since the Bernie campaign, have become aware of how insurgent campaigns organize, and have adjusted accordingly.

                  Then I provided an example of exactly that happening in a recent race.

                  You can just engage with the point, but instead you chose to masturbate.

                    have become aware of how insurgent campaigns organize, and have adjusted accordingly.

                    I already refuted that point x2

                    1. That’s an ongoing issue that’s addressed in detail and mitigated in the documentary.

                    2. Also the number of non voters means there is plenty of opportunity for grass roots campaigns to outreach the outreach of incumbents. The notion that incumbents being prepared for challengers makes primarying them impossible is a non sequitur.
