LegionAreI posted:I'm happy to go to mine but the next meeting apparently isn't until January for some ridiculous reason Syndlig posted:Looks like I missed the bus on my local parties as well. WilCo Democrats held their monthly meeting on the 10th, and the Texas Democratic Party holds their meetings...sometime? I think I remember it being the first Thursday of the month, but it's impossible to find anything on their website. This is because the Democratic Party is either weak or non existent all over the loving place The Republican congressman for my district has visited my tiny town of less than 5000 every single election without fail. None of the democrats have ever come, even when invited.

Atrocious Joe posted:Bill Mitchel and YourVoice Radio apparently I really wish someone had seriously asked me this during the campaign. I did not appreciate being totally loving shocked by these results. I look back at my comments in various places as the election went on and realize I seem to have known everything that was wrong with Clinton, I just assumed from the polls that everybody else didn't know or was looking the other way because Trump sucks so much. Oops. It really feels like a bunch of voters just decided to play a prank on Hillary and the media.

I'm very, very lucky to live in MA - they apparently have this poo poo on lockdown. I'm trying to do some stuff with New york politics right now and poo poo don't even work - all the buttons just take you to the goddamn donate page, and the calendars are either broken or empty. Definitely gonna have to make some phone calls, this is pathetic. My tiny little town's Democratic party has a better website and more information than literally any source I've found in New York so far.

Fulchrum posted:90% of the audience - "why did Stan Lee shave his moustache?". While I don't think he was a union member. He's pushed for very strong pro-union/pro-labor laws in DC. He's also Sander's pick for the spot and I feel with him at the helm will help make my friends feel like the DNC and Democrats aren't corrupt and get them to reengage in politics.

Atrocious Joe posted:Bill Mitchel and YourVoice Radio apparently Powercrazy posted:Don't look for Pundit's "hot takes." Look for interviews, and polls. Basically primary sources. For example, what does Jaime Harrison say about his odorous relation with the Podesta Group? Well lets watch Rachel Maddow because she has him on. "It's to feed the kids." For years I have been watching PBS Frontline. Why can't they cover more material more frequently? I really like their style/format/topics. Is there no other news source that takes their job this seriously without being snug about themselves? Given that even Trump/Ryan were surprised by the win, I am beginning to think that either a minority's opinion were suppressed by all media outlets or that the "silent majority" were actually silent (which is somewhat understandable given how Hillary and the left media vilified Trump supporters). I've started by spending more time listening to Trump supporters (land lady, one of the engineers at work) who are totally decent people, but I would like to reach more or at least get an unedited version of their opinions and views without having to go to right wing conspiracy theory sites.

You'll speak to some random staffer. Typically you'll want to give a generic cordial greeting, identify yourself wrt the relevance of your opinion ("I'm a lifelong <party> and I voted for <person whose office you're calling>"), make a brief statement regarding your concerns and what, specifically, you want the person whose office you're calling to do about them. If the staffer wants to talk with you some more, talk with them, if not they'll just thank you for your call or whatever and then you thank them for their time and hang up. what kind of shut-in are you?

Mordiceius posted:Would Russ Feingold be a better choice for DNC chair than Keith Ellison? I know Russ Feingold and I know that he's not the same as the Wall Street bootlicking hacks that the Democratic party has trotted out for 30 years, but the Democratic brand from the 80's to the 90's is tarnished and people will just associate him with Clintonism. And I know he's not the same, but Bernie thinks that Ellison is the guy because he risked major political capital endorsing him over the Queen when that was seen by some to be a self-inflicted death sentence.

Is there no other news source that takes their job this seriously without being snug about themselves? poo poo like Frontline is expensive and not guaranteed to make money American conservatism is very intertwined with conspiracy theories. I've been thinking it's sort of like how under slavery and Jim Crow the Southern elite consistently tried to convince themselves that black people were actually better off subjugated. It makes no sense, but it justifies your prejudices and reaffirms your position in society. Liberals seem to soothe their disconnect from reality with smugness and botched numbers.
