MoveOn email: "No one thought this was possible" [View all]

[Bernin4U]

Dear MoveOn member,

We're writing for two reasons:

1. MoveOn members overwhelmingly voted to endorse Bernie Sanders.
2. It's now looking like Bernie can win Iowa and New Hampshire—and if he does, the whole race changes.

Bernie's neck and neck in Iowa and has a narrow lead in New Hampshire.1,2

He really can win both. Our first challenge is to win Iowa. To pull it off, the next 12 days are crucial.

MoveOn’s 40,000 members in Iowa could determine whether Bernie Sanders wins or loses the state. If he wins, it’ll send shockwaves through the media, show that the time has come for his message, and give him incredible momentum going into New Hampshire and beyond.

Anyone else get this email, and find the title just a little condescending?

Not a big deal, really. And I appreciate the content, as I believe in the idea of "stay hungry, always play as if you're a goal down, no such thing as a comfortable lead, etc".

Just that this kind of title, while expected from the tone-deaf MSM, who are so busy falling over themselves to sweep the "Bernie could never win" statements under the rug, has no place coming from MoveOn.

Really, of your 78% of membership who voted to endorse Bernie, none of us believed he'd possibly be doing this well at this point?
