In the hurly-burly of an election campaign, our memory of why we like Elizabeth Warren so much may grow dim, until we see a video like this one. This video shows us reasons for appreciating Warren that we weren’t even aware of.
At almost every moment in this video there is another jaw dropping revelation. If there were a video of me watching this video, you would see how literally I mean this.
This video makes it very readily apparent that Warren knows so such more than is visible from her current political campaign.
Why doesn’t the Warren campaign want you to see this video?
Of course, I am only guessing here. I am sure the the Warren Troll can come up with a good many other reasons.
- Mario Savio – Free Speech Movement.
- This video is the answer to the Warren Facebook Troll
I lost track of the political activist Mario Savio right after the Berkeley riots of the 1960s were over. It is news to me that he established a career that is worthy of remembrance as indicated in this video. I have not followed up and visited the web site yet.
We all know what the Republicans will make of this connection, if they find out about this video. At the end, I will mention how I found it, but you can bet the Republicans will find it too, especially after I blog about it.
My advice to the campaign, which they never follow, is to stop pretending the inevitable might not happen. Get out in front of the inevitable and turn it toward your advantage before the opposition tries to turn it to your disadvantage.
Ironically, in this video Elizabeth Warren talks about how a campaign could use technology to run a better campaign. Her campaign is most decidedly not taking instructions from the version of Elizabeth Warren who appears in this video.
Elizabeth Warren talks about crowd sourcing in this video. In a campaign context, I first heard the idea in an email from Scott Brown. Where is the Warren campaign?
Many of the things that Warren talks about in the use of technology for making the CFPB agency a strong one are exactly the ideas that her campaign needs to use, but the troll stands in the way of doing these exact things. He has a thousand reasons to turn down any suggestion that comes into the campaign via the Facebook page. (And to disparage the suggester in the bargain)
How to get the DVDs
So here is how I stumbled across this lecture. I was doing research on how one might acquire the rights to rebroadcast the lecture in my previous post, The Coming Collapse of the Middle Class. By the way, these two videos are wonderful companion pieces.
I found that you can purchase DVDs of these lectures from The University Of California TV.
The Coming Collapse of the Middle Class: Higher Risks, Lower Rewards, and a Shrinking Safety Net $24.95.
Before I had scrolled down to find the above video, I happened to notice this one.
Main Street First: Fixing Broken Markets and Rebuilding the Middle Class with Elizabeth Warren.
It appears from the UCTV web site that it will be easy to get permission to rebroadcast these DVDs in a non-profit situation.
