re: #34 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

I really believe everything I named was a significant part of it. Motivating their base definitely was too. That makes sense, especially within their extreme framing…and it’s very smart politics. But there is an amazing amount of emphasis on their “excited” base and it’s easy to see how media domination (MSM, not just new media) feeds strategy and victory narratives to reinforce it.
It failed them in 2012 and then what? Everything I mentioned was optimized to make sure it never happens again. They didn’t even get more actual people votes than we did, so I assume we motivated ours too.
