Daily beast with an interesting article about how people who
worked on the Bernie Sanders campaign in the general election
tried to help Hillary Clinton, but Clinton's team wouldn't have
any of it.
REALLY INTERESTING, SO HERE IT BE OUT ON THIS.
THE REPORTER WRITES, "IN THE FINAL MONTHS OF THE BRUTAL AND
CHAOTIC 2016 CAMPAIGN, THERE WERE PLENTY OF DEMOCRATIC
ACTIVISTS FREAKING OUT ABOUT WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, AND
PENNSYLVANIA, THE THREE STATES THAT ULTIMATELY COST THE
DEMOCRATS THE ELECTION, AND THE
CLINTON CAMP'S Shortcomings THERE.
WE ARE GOING TO GO TO ONE OF THE TOP SURROGATES FOR BERNIE
SANDERS, AND THEY EXPLAIN HERE, SHE WAS SAYING, "WE WERE SAYING
THAT WE ARE OFFERING OUR HELP.
NOBODY WANTED PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.
SHE NOTED THAT THE BERNIE SIDE WAS OFFERING CLINTON'S TEAM
THEIR PLANS, STRATEGY MEMOS, LISTS OF HARDIN STATE
ORGANIZERS, TIMELINES, DATA, THE WORKS ñ
TO WIN OVER CERTAIN VOTERS IN AREAS HILLARY CLINTON ULTIMATELY
LOST, BUT WHERE SANDERS HAD WON DURING THE PRIMARY."
THEY ARE NOT COMING AND SAYING, LISTEN TO US BECAUSE YOU
NEED TO APPEASE US.
THEY ARE SAYING, HOW CAN WE HELP?
NOBODY WANTS DONALD TRUMP.
WHAT WAS THE REACTION?
SHE EXPLAINS, "THEY FUCKING EXHORT US ON ALL THESE
BATTLEGROUND STATES WHILE WE WERE SOUNDING THE ALARM FOR
MONTHS."
"WE KEPT SAYING EACH OTHER ñ TO EACH OTHER LIKE, WHAT THE FUCK,
WHY ARE THEY JUST BLOWING US OFF?
WE NEED THESE VOTERS MORE THAN ANYBODY."
THIS IS WHAT I CAN UNDERSTAND.
THE CLINTON TEAM, WE NEED PROGRESSIVE VOTERS.
OH YOU WANT SOMETHING ELSE.
NO, THE ONLY THING I WANT IS FOR THE CLOWN DONALD TRUMP TO
NOT BE PRESIDENT, THE PRIMARY IS OVER.
OKAY, YOU WANT US TO APPEASE YOU MORE.
NO, FOR CHRIST SAKE, YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE, YOUR
ARROGANCE IS ASTOUNDING.
THE CLINTON CAMP HAD A POSITION CALLED THEIR PROGRESSIVE
OUTREACH COORDINATOR.
NOW, IF YOU ARE A REAL PROGRESSIVE, DO YOU NEED A
PROGRESSIVE OUTREACH COORDINATOR?
WOULDN'T THAT BE YOUR ENTIRE CAMPAIGN?
THEY WERE NEVER REAL PROGRESSIVES.
THEY NEEDED TO DO OUTREACH TO PROGRESSIVES, BECAUSE THEY
DIDN'T HAVE ANY IN THE HOUSE.
IN FACT, THEIR Progressive Outreach Court, Nader came after
the primaries, from Bernie's
team -- THEIR PROGRESSIVE OUTREACH COORDINATOR CAME AFTER
THE PRIMARIES, FROM BERNIE'S TEAM.
VIDEO BUFFERING ñ
COULD BE UTILIZED ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, BUT ISSUE
VOTERS, ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT, BUT LIVES MATTER, DAKOTA ACCESS
PIPELINE, ROGUE COPS, YOU NAME
IT.
THEY WERE NEVER GOING TO DO THAT, BECAUSE THEY DON'T
AGREE WITH YOU.
THE CLINTON CAMP, IF YOU TOLD THEM WE WERE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT ROGUE COPS THEY WOULD GO, THAT'S DANGEROUS, WHAT DO
OUR POLLSTERS SAY?
I DON'T WANT TO OFFEND ANYONE.
IF YOU SAY DAKOTA ACCESS PIPELINE, THEY GO, EHH, WHY?
BECAUSE THEY WERE PROBABLY GOING TO APPROVE THE DAKOTA
ACCESS PIPELINE.
WE'RE GONNA WIN, WE DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.
THE DAILY BEAST EXPLAINS,
"ñ ASSURANCES WERE THEN MADE WITH VARIOUS CLINTON'S
SENIOR STAFFERS THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW THROUGH WITH SOME SQUID
MEETINGS AND PHONE CALLS TO ADDRESS THESE GAPS AND WARNINGS.
INSTEAD, MEETINGS WERE CANCELED AND RESCHEDULED INTO OBLIVION."
THEY DID NOT WANT TO HEAR.
"KLEEB NOTED THAT INSTEAD OF SUBSEQUENT DISCUSSION ABOUT
BATTLEGROUND STRATEGY AND RESOURCES, WHAT SHE GOT WAS A
HANDFUL OF CONFERENCE CALLS, WHERE SANDERS ALUMNI WILL GET TO
HEAR ABOUT THREE TOP TALKING POINTS FOR CLINTON'S SERVER OR
SOMETHING."
HERE ARE THESE GUYS TELLING THEM, IF YOU GO IN THESE
DIRECTIONS ON POLICY MATTERS, WE HAVE SEEN THROUGH
EXPERIENCE THAT IT WORKS AND IT GETS YOU MORE VOTERS.
AND THEY GO, YES YES YES, HERE'S OUR TALKING POINTS.
THAT'S VERY CUTE.
NO, WE WANT TO DO GRASSROOTS AND GET THE VOTERS AND GET THEM TO
VOTE AGAINST TRUMP.
THAT'S VERY CUTE, HERE ARE YOUR TALKING POINTS.
MORE FROM JANE KLEEP.
"THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN BELIEVED THEY HAD THE STRONGEST AND
BRIGHTEST PEOPLE IN THE ROOM.
THEY MOCKED US, THEY MADE FUN OF US.
THEY ALWAYS HAD A MODEL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO SAVE THE DAY.
WE WERE STREET ACTIVISTS AND THEY DON'T GET THAT.
AND THAT'S A FUNDAMENTAL DIVIDE.
THEY RAN A CHECK THE BOX, SANITIZED CAMPAIGN."
IT'S TOTALLY TRUE.
I WENT TO HILTON HEADQUARTERS DURING THE GENERAL ELECTION
ONCE, AND I'M LOOKING AROUND GOING, THERE'S SOMETHING
STRANGE HERE.
I WENT TO A LOT OF PRETTY VOLUNTEER PLACES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY, IN TEXAS, NEW YORK, WASHINGTON, YOU NAME IT.
CALIFORNIA.
AND IN BROOKLYN HEADQUARTERS FOR HILLARY, I MIGHT, ALMOST
EVERYBODY HERE IS RICH.
SUPER POLISHED, THEY ARE ALL DYING TO GO TO YALE, THIS
IS GOING TO BUFF UP THEIR RESUME.
MAYBE I'M BEING UNFAIR, BUT THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE
TO ME AND WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE TO THESE GUYS.
2 SEPARATE EXPERIENCES, SAME CONCLUSION.
AND ANYTIME YOU MADE A SUGGESTION THEY WOULD ALL
LOOK AROUND LIKE, WHAT WOULD THE BOSSES STAY?
WE'VE GOT TO HEAR FROM THE DEAR LEADER.
THE DEAR LEADER IS NOT IN FAVOR.
BE HUMAN!
YOU KNOW WHAT HUMANS LIKE?
OTHER HUMANS.
AND YOU KNOW EVERY TEAM MOST ñ
YOU KNOW HILLARY'S WILL SAY THIS IS UNFAIR, I DON'T THINK IT IS.
" REGULAR WORKING CLASS FOLKS DID NOT MATTER TO THEM.
SHE HAD TO PEOPLE ON HER CAMPAIGN WEARING PRODUCT
GOING INTO POLLSTER MEETINGS, NOT ENOUGH OF US."
IT SEEMED TO ME THAT WHEN THEY
TALKED TO PROGRESSIVES, INCLUDING
ME, THEY WANTED TO KNOW HOW THEY COULD GET TO MY AUDIENCE,
HOW THEY CAN GET TO THE BERNIE SUPPORTERS.
THROUGH THE ISSUES.
THEY DIDN'T PICK BERNIE SANDERS OUT OF A HAT, THEY PICKED
HIM BECAUSE THE GUY HAS BEEN FIGHTING FOR THOSE ISSUES FOR
40 YEARS.
THE GUY IS ERNEST.
BUT IS NOT ñ IT'S NOT ABOUT BERNIE, IT'S ABOUT THOSE ISSUES.
AND THEY ARE LIKE, YES YES YES BUT HOW DO WE DO IT WITHOUT
THE ISSUES?
YOU WERE GOING TO GET A SENSE OF IT FROM THE CLINTON CAMP'S
RESPONSE TO THE STORY.
HER NATIONAL PORTAL DIRECTOR, AMANDA SAID, "I THINK WHAT WE
TOOK FROM THEM ON A NATIONAL MESSAGE, HER TONE OF OUR CAUSE
IS YOUR CAUSE AT THE NATIONAL
CONVENTION WAS THE RIGHT TONE.
THAT REALLY DID DERIVE FROM LISTENING TO THEM IN THAT
MEETING WE HAD."
SHE TALKS ABOUT ONE SPECIFIC MEETING THEY HAD WHERE THEY
ACTUALLY LISTENED FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
BUT LOOK AT THAT.
SHE'S LIKE, WE HAD A MEETING WITH THEM AND DECIDED, THE
CORRECT MESSAGE IS, OUR CAUSE IS YOUR CAUSE.
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MESSAGE, IT'S ABOUT, IS IT ACTUALLY YOUR
CAUSE?
I'LL THINK THEY LEARNED A THING.
ONE MORE THING FROM HER.
SHE SAYS, "AND IN THE CALLS I HAD WITH THEM EVERY OTHER
WEEK, WE INSERTED COLLEGE AFFORDABILITY AND CLIMATE
CHANGE AT THEIR PUSHING."
THEY DON'T GET IT.
FIRST OF ALL, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO INSERT IT AT SOMEONE'S
PUSHING, BECAUSE IT ISN'T TOO
APPEASE THEM, IT'S TO WIN VOTES.
BUT THEY NEVER BELIEVE THAT.
THEY THOUGHT, WE HAVE THESE SUPER FANCY POLLSTERS WHO
WE PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR, AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE FANCY
GIMMICKS AND BE SUPER POLISHED, AND WE'RE GONNA GO OUT AND
TELL THESE PEOPLE THESE SCRIPTED TALKING POINTS.
LET'S TALK ABOUT MESSAGING A BIT AND WE'LL INSERT SOMETHING
HERE TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY, BUT THEY NEVER BELIEVED.
AND IF YOU FELT THAT YOU HAD TO INSERT FREE COLLEGE EDUCATION,
OR PUSHING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE, WELL THEN YOU NEVER CARED ENOUGH
TO ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE
AND YOU THINK PEOPLE CAN'T TELL.
BUT THEY CAN TELL, AND THAT'S WHY YOU LOST.
OKAY, ONE MORE HERE.
LET'S GO TO ONE MORE SANDER SUPPORTER, ROBERT BECKER.
HE WAS THE ORGANIZER IN IOWA AND MICHIGAN, AND HE SAYS,
AGAIN TRIED TO HELP, BUT HE SAYS, "THERE WAS NO
OUTREACH TO ME, BUT I DID GET A CALL THREE WEEKS OUT FROM
ELECTION DAY FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS IN THE DNC SOUNDING THE
ALARM ABOUT MICHIGAN.
THEY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY WERE GETTING STRONG SUPPORT FROM
THE UNION MEMBERS."
HE CONTINUES, "I MEAN, THESE TRADE DEALS THAT WERE GOING
ON FOR DECADES THAT WERE ENABLED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN
LARGE PART, THEY HURT.
THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN DIDN'T ADDRESS THE ANGER ABOUT THIS."
SO, THREE WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION THEY WERE LIKE,
HOW DO WE GET THE UNIONS TO VOTE FOR US?
YOU GET THE UNIONS, AND MORE PARTLY THE PEOPLE WHO
LIKELY WORK IN THOSE STATES, TO VOTE FOR YOU, IF YOU HAVE
THE RIGHT POLICY.
NOT BY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TRICK THEM THREE WEEKS
BEFORE THE ELECTION.
AND BY THE WAY, YOU MIGHT HAVE NOT WANTED TO IGNORE UNIONS IN
MICHIGAN FOR THE ENTIRE CAMPAIGN.
ARE YOU INSANE?
WELL, I'M NOT A BIG UNION GUY, BUT IF I WANT TO WIN
MICHIGAN I GO TO A COUPLE UNION HALLS, AND I'D ACTUALLY
LISTEN, NOT PRETEND TO LISTEN.
FINALLY, THEY GOT THE MESSAGE APPARENTLY A LITTLE TOO LATE.
AFTER THE ELECTION, THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER FOR THE CLINTON
CAMPAIGN SAID THAT TRUMP HAD STRENGTH IN BEING AN OUTSIDER.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE TOLD YOU ALL ALONG.
WE DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT BECAUSE WE SECRETLY WANTED YOU TO LOSE,
WE TOLD YOU THAT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT DONALD TRUMP TO WIN.
LOOK AT THE MESS THE COUNTRY IS IN NOW BECAUSE OF IT.
WE TOLD YOU THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS THE WAY TO GET MORE VOTES.
PEOPLE DIDN'T WANT AN ESTABLISHMENT ROBOT.
HOW DENSE WERE YOU GUYS?
YOU TOOK THE MOST PRO-ESTABLISHMENT PERSON, AND
YOU RAN THEM IN A WAY WHERE SHE PROMISED ALMOST NO CHANGE AT
ALL, IN AN ERA WHERE PEOPLE ARE DYING FOR CHANGE; DYING FOR AN
OUTSIDER.
SO EVEN THOUGH DONALD TRUMP HAD A 60%
DISAPPROVAL RATING ON THE DAY OF THE ELECTION.
EVEN THOUGH 70%
OF HIS OWN VOTERS SAID HE WAS UNQUALIFIED FOR OFFICE.
THEY VOTED FOR HIM ANYWAY, BECAUSE YOU GAVE THEM NO
ALTERNATIVE, AND HE WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO WAS
TRYING TO HELP YOU.
