A call from DK for Bernie supporters

[Rebkeh]

In every poll I have seen, Senator Sanders is stuck between 20 — 35%. Kos refers to this as Bernie’s ceiling and I suspect Kos is right unless something dramatic changes that. The debates, while beneficial for Bernie, have not changed the tenor of the race.

So, we are roughly (I’m too lazy to actually look a calendar right now) 90 days out from the primaries. What could change Bernie Sanders standing in the polls dramatically enough to give him a chance?

There are only three things that can do so in my estimation:

1. Massive outreach to people of color. I’m encountering this daily down here in Texas; African-Americans and Latinos all ask the same thing: “Who is Bernie Sanders?” It is no accident that his campaign staff in Texas are Latino. And it is no accident that they are explicitly telling volunteers — we have to reach out to people of color.

2. A vast number of person to person conversations addressing questions, concerns and needs of Democratic primary voters. Here in Texas, the first round will involve 850,000 contacts. That’s got to be completed in early December so we can start the next round.

3. Finally, and most importantly, a GOTV (Get Out The Vote) effort that surpasses what Obama achieved in 2008 and 2012.
What do all these things have in common?

You.

If you do not volunteer, recruit other volunteers, and spend about two to six hours a week working on the Bernie Sanders campaign, we cannot win. It’s that simple.

1. Edit on number 3

We have to get Bernie supporters to sign up as Democrats and go to the local caucus.
