  • I don’t think it’s a bad thing to throw out more policy goals to measure what the Dem base wants. It sounds like you see it as taking away attention. I see it as battling it out to find better policy sets for the nominee to run on. Battle of ideas is the liberal thing to do in my mind. Besides, what is he taking away attention from? What do you think is more important than figuring out what the Dem base will rally and vote for? On the politico article, he gets 100k out of the known 4.3mil from candidates that donated to republicans in prior elections. That’s less than 2.5%. Is that the issue for you? That some people who donated one way are now donating another way? I don’t understand that notion. Wouldn’t you want to be able to convince people to switch sides? Or are you saying the fact that he’s only convinced a mere 2.5% shows he’s entirely unconvincing to the purple voters base? Unless I’m missing something the definition you provided on spoiler effect isn’t applicable because he won’t be on the ballot if he loses the primary.
