It seems the DSA, the Democrat Socialists of America, plan to get into public office by keeping quiet about what they ACTUALLY believe and fooling voters.
New in @playbookdc: @AbdulElSayed asked @MalloryMcMorrow for honest feedback about his campaign.

He nailed his message, she told him.
How could he improve? “Not turning everybody into an enemy,” she said. pic.twitter.com/30yn4ycbQ4
So, basically stop acting like himself? He's a short, little, angry man. Being nasty to everyone who isn't a radical Muslim is who he is. Step-stool Abdul is an angry dwarf.
The most effective videos put out by both Mamdani and Platner were when they talked with Republicans and found things they agreed on about corruption and the 1%. Feels like an opportunity for El-Sayed too, and fits with this McMorrow advice https://t.co/rL8358MnT1

Basically, pretend to care about the '1 percent' (El-Sayed owns homes in Dubai and India and he and his wife are both Doctors and Bernie owns 3 homes ... they are the 1 percent) and corruption. What a laugh. We've seen the 'corruption' happening in Minnesota with other radical Islamists. They don't care about lying to the government at all.
This is why a decent chunk of Bernie mold socialists get annoyed anytime DSA people go on Fox and talk about police and prison abolition — when you could talk with people on taxing billionaires and ending overseas wars. https://t.co/W3oAJ0isdE

They don't want them going on television and revealing their actual wacky ideas. Then the public figures them out.

Bernie knows you lead with what's most popular and shut up about the rest. It's basic politics, but newcomers often don't get it for a while.

Bernie leads with Medicare for All, his most popular position — for which he has 17 cosponsors in the Senate. https://t.co/nPKKPHBS7q
It takes 'newcomers' a while to figure out you have to lie to the people to get elected. Bernie has been doing it for decades. He's an old pro.
Bernie knows to shut up and don't talk about what he actually wants to accomplish

Not the talking point you guys think it is. https://t.co/jNqgXU2nZU
They should probably not let it get out their strategy is to trick Americans into voting for them. That seems bad.
So Bernie’s just playing chess while everyone’s stuck on checkers. 🫢

To be fair, he's old and old dudes play chess.
Sometimes they forget when they aren’t talking to everyone they work with and surround themselves with.

Have you noticed that Bernie won’t talk to anyone that doesn’t drink the kool aide.

At least he knows his limitations.
So lie to gain the power and influence so you can trick the citizens? And you wonder why when the 1st Amend fails we stand firmly by the 2nd.

That about sums it up.
I'm not sure that "Don't talk about all your insane positions that no one agrees with" is the ringing endorsement of Bernie you think it is.

It's the only way they can convince people to vote for them.
