they are accused of working against the democratic party by giving republicans talking points that could be used later by republicans. Yet we realize that for every point we would make about Hilary's positions, we could make a stronger case for that point against republicans. Right now there is a fight for control of the party and its direction. With Obama we got a centrist who prevented total disaster for the people but certainly has not changed the status quo to increase the power of the people to any great degree. Yes we have more jobs and inflation is low, but we cannot actually see a future that is better than would have occurred if we had not let the oligarchy and their banks and corporations harm our people by NAFTA, CAFTA destroy our standard of living by eliminating good paying factory jobs , creating downward pressures on wages overall, and harming the ability of Unions to organize or maintain membership. We look ahead and see the oligarchy continue to sell climate denial and we know their investments in fossil fuel must be manged so they never lose but pass on the costs to the people even as they continue to reap profits. We can and do care about these and many other things and recognize that underlying all this continuance of poor policy is the oligarchy and we know that the oligarchy has succeeded i putting up substantial roadblocks to their removal- such as Gerrymandering many states, restrictions of voter rights, and removing restrictions on buying elections through Citizens United. This occurred during the Obama Presidency and we have seen little action from the justice department to stop it. So when we see little, no or Johnny Come Lately opposition to policies we deplore, we find valid differences to point out and conclusions we must draw. Yet we must not do this as it might harm the inevitable nominee. It is clear that the DNC, DWS, and DCC are all trying to stifle debate both at national and local levels. It is also clear the republican debates are better timed for viewers. And our guy runs a clean campaign.
So after having used VANN data myself, I question even why proprietary data is on Vann. As far as Hilary's strategy goes, it does not apply to Bernie. No campaign before has use Bernie's strategy and he is not interested in dirty tricks. So Hilary after her evolution on gun control fro essentially the position she held in 2008 which were if anything more pro-gun than Bernie's then and now to her overzealous position hoping to hit a hot button to appeal to one issue voters zealous gun control voters is finding her history on that issues is not attracting many new supporters, now gets this gift from the DNC of shutting Bernie out entirely off the democrat data base. But it will not really help Hilary, because we Bernie fans do not depend on precision targetting to gain supporters or get them to the polls. We believe in what we say and we believe oiur message is saleable to most people and do not really need Vann to do our canvassing and work.
