my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

Yo this is super hosed up, I actually live in this area of delaware (not in district 10 itself but in the townsend area just south of it) and I've seen literally zero coverage of this around. I can't donate much and I don't have time to canvas because of work, but I'll try to spread the word to my friends who live in the district 10 area.

If the DNC flushes this money down the toilet I will join the GOP and start working for good on the inside of a party that isn't completely worthless.

Go door to door tomorrow or Sunday if you can. Door to door is more effective, and I think it's fun.

shoulda mentioned that i'm in NYC, but it's cool that there are people here who want to help out. but yeah, door-to-door is the most effective way to reach out. you'd be surprised how much face-to-face contact helps in a race

I did 80 houses today, split between two neighborhoods. The second neighborhood was the same one I did a month ago. I have to be honest, the signs (literal signs, in fact-there were a ton of signs out for the competition) compared to last month were not good. The response rate was lower, and of those who did talk, a few were outright belligerent. One guy even said he was "armed and not interested", which a first for me. Normally people politely refuse; this "second amendment person" implicitly threatened me (kind of like his president did to Clinton).

Of course, the majority of people were nice. However, judging by some of the responses I got, the overall lack of participation compared to a little while ago, and the amount of signs for the GOP challenger, I'm concerned. I'm by no means discouraging donating but I have to reiterate that I think volunteering for Hansen (and other local Democrats) is much more important.

I can phone bank, but living in Texas I don't know if there's much more I can do besides that and provide more donations. Happy to be wrong here, though.

Those are both great ways to help if you don't live here. I just meant people in the general Delaware/Philly area should definitely try to come out in the last week and help.

And like I said a few times, this is not just a DE thing. I'm sure there's good people in Texas you can work with.

not the right place for this probably, but Connecticut's government trifecta status is also at stake on Tuesday, they currently have 18-18 in the senate and have 2 seats up, one D and one R. The Dems could lose 2 states with full party control in a week .

I said it in the original post, we should have near-constant threads like this detailing local political events so as to help in some small way. I didn't actually know about the Connecticut election until just now, which is a shame because we really should've had something explaining that situation as well.

I saw redneck nazgul's gang tag and inquired about it, so here I am. I live in a different state senate district - thanks, redistricting, for putting me in the same one as Newark despite living NE of the city - but figured that I should donate.

This district usually votes D even though Marino got pretty close the last time he ran. Hansen's campaign is pulling out all the stops though so hopefully things go well

It's election day, go out and remind people to vote and stuff, and also vote yourself if you live in the district! Or let the Republicans win, I'm sure they'll only do helpful things and not at all block any legislature from passing like their counterparts have been doing in literally every other state they've won.

I've said it like fifty times in this thread. Things can always get worse. We literally have a Nazi who is addicted to Russian urine in the White House. Things can get worse.

As long as you've donated and told a moderator, you should be able to get a gang tag. Maybe after the election if anyone wants them they can just continue donating to other good causes, but I don't really have any ideas beyond the continual RAINN and ACLU drives.

I would too, but I do think having threads dedicating to very specific elections and events is better than a general one.

Also, looks like we raised $1,423 in total, which is way more than I ever anticipated. Nice job C-SPAM.

Nichael
Mar 30, 2011


It just dawned on me, C-SPAM was responsible for generating 0.5% of the Hansen campaign's donations. Our local paper says she raised $251,525 and $1,423 came from a dead gay comedy forum. I think that's kind of impressive.
