Elizabeth Warren has made a big deal of how she doesn’t charge for “selfies” with supporters. Of course, a lot of her fundraising rules have changed since her transition from a Senate campaign to a presidential campaign.
Did you ever wonder how Warren manages to take all those selfies? No? Well, Team Warren has tweeted an astounding behind-the-scenes video showing the “anatomy” of a Warren selfie line and all the steps involved: hand over camera, pose, hand camera back. Next.

When the “selfie” process overtakes the substance of a campaign… it looks bad

These aren't selfies, these are just regular photos.

That's…not how a selfie works.

Is it a selfie if someone else takes the picture?
— Anthony Keane (@mckeanehomes) January 5, 2020
standing in line for a staffer to take a picture of you with a politician is still a photo-op
letting that staffer use your phone doesn't change the definition of a selfie pic.twitter.com/44CmtLpYNQ

1. This isn't a selfie if it's taken by somebody else. That's just a photograph. 2. This is the most impersonal shit I've ever seen.

No one gives a shit about selfies.

Congrats on mastering selfie line management.

Hate to be a buzzkill here but this just seems super shallow.

Hey team warren, this is a heck of a post. Keep it up.

This is embarrassing.

Whoever thought of this strategy should never have another job in communications/marketing ever again

“I worked on the Warren campaign.” “Really, what did you do?” “I was the one who handed the phones back. Here’s a video.”
LOL You can have a picture, but don't ask her any questions!!

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

why is this a thing

I’m all for giving credit to those who work hard for you but please, Elizabeth, stop with the selfie talk. Give it a rest. At this point it’s beyond tedious.
— Mimi #NotMeUs? (@jrzygirlinfla) January 6, 2020
The cringe is strong in this one.
— $3 Bernie Yard Sign? (@CranesNoSkyhook) January 6, 2020
this is it, this is the only plan you actually have that works
— JAFO (@BadIdeaBandit) January 6, 2020
Two times Warren donor and still can't believe that the campaign wasted such a massive amount of time on this selfie gimmick. I wish she spoke to the supporters instead, shared their personal stories and let the staff do more useful work. Poll numbers show this trick didn't work.
