      If you frame your argument as the preferential candidate wasn't on the list and likely got more momentum I am with you, but it is absurd to always strife for 50%+ margins. Campaigns take time and little successes.

          Why not? What do you fear? That people are motivated?

            because its deluding ourselves into something that is absolutely not reality we are stuck on this online bubble enough and definitely need to see things for what they are

              And you think that demotivating people by confronting them with reality motivates them to see things the real way? I think it makes more sense to build up people and try to get them to organize. Though online it isn't so much a focus, however framing good news even if it isn't significant yet in a way that makes it comparable and an asset is good imho.
