All these think pieces and TV time dedicated to sexism and misogyny ruining Warren's campaign all conveniently ignore she was the front runner, had the biggest crowds, and most excitement and didn't start to tank until she had a debate as the front runner where everyone came after her. She didn't acquit herself well, in addition to changing stances, and then the snakey shit with leaking private conversations and maybe lying about them.

She started to tank as soon as she attacked Bernie on the hot-mic. As soon as "I think you just called me a liar on TV." happened, her campaign was over. Nobody but the brainwormiest of brainworm libs denies that.

She can think it's sexism all she (and Clinton) want. But when you attack the (at the time) front-runner who flat-out denies your allegations on live TV only to then (not knowing it's a hot-mic) further press it as a "but you did say that, wtf?" sort of response, it shows you're probably not ready to handle attacks from Trump.

Try telling this to any liberal female friend you have and see how long your friendship remains in tact.

Yeah. It wasn't as bad as with Peter or Amy (she was in double digits with black voters during her polling peak) and her campaign was really aggressive from the start in courting black activists, but in the end it just didn't translate to support on the ground.

Seemed to be pretty widespread expectations that black voters would automatically line up behind Harris or Booker or that they'd roll with whoever did well in New Hampshire and Iowa and neither of those were true.

Mandark · « **Reply #53240 on:** March 06, 2020, 10:27:41 PM »

Actually this whole primary cycle is kind of funny as it relates to the online idpol discourse.

From the right, the criticism that idpol demonizes straight white guys and assigns credibility to people based on how many axes of oppression they're on. From a small, weird pocket of the "left" was the idea that idpol was a creation of neoliberalism to fracture worker solidarity.

In the end the last two candidates standing are old straight white guys, each beating out the other candidates based on the strength of nonwhite voters, and young liberals most likely to be fluent in the language of intersectionality overwhelmingly supporting a the leftmost credible primary candidate since maybe ever.

I honestly think Harris never took off because she just sucked. Even her hit on Biden in that debate which she got so much positive media attention for and briefly propelled her to the top of the polls was transparently phony. My milquetoast-lib parents wouldn't hear criticisms of any of the other candidates but they hated her guts based on the debates alone

I followed a number of on-the-ground campaign reporters on Twitter and the consensus seemed to be that Harris wasn't great at the in-person retail politicking. Like not awful, but she wasn't winning over people with those events the way Pete and Warren were.

Maybe he picked Meadows because he needs the Freedom Caucus so sign on to some crazy helicopter money spending soon.
