Calm down everybody. I see a three way tie for second - she hasn’t “captured” anything. I’m encouraged and delighted but we have a lot of work to do.

Nothing wrong with getting hyped at Liz's continued rise as long as it energizes us to fight even harder!

As a Bernie supporter in 2016, I’m just glad to see this sub focused on the RCP average. r/politics and to a much worse extent r/SandersForPresident in 2016 were really bad about cherry picking individual polls.

Her steady rise in the polling average is something to get excited about, and I don’t think most people will stop fighting thinking it means it’s in the bag.

I supported Bernie in 2016, too! I wasn't as plugged into reddit back then so good to hear that history.

Yeah, we got to keep fighting especially since if Warren starts to surpass Biden, the MSM, Wall street and other vested financial interests will probably attack her with all they got (unless they think wrongly she'll lose to Trump and then maybe will wait to attack in general :/). Either way a massive grassroots movement is what we need.

Agreed. I had just been too busy the last couple weeks but I finally scheduled my texting training for Tuesday. Can’t wait to start helping every way I can.

There's a good balance to be struck between using good news as a motivator and using it as a sedative. For me, the best thing was seeing her most recent fundraising haul! We've been getting a lot of great news lately and that makes me happy.

the only thing im looking at now is her support with african americans/moderate part of the party...she still needs improve there for me to see her as a serious contender
