Porpoise With A Purpose posted:Yeah it seems like the local level democratic party is non-existent here in Kentucky too. I've sent messages to the state chair (Sannie Overly) and the info@kentuckydemocrats.com and haven't gotten so much as a form reply. It's not hard to see why Kentucky Democrats are getting poo poo stomped in this state if leadership can't be hosed to respond to legitimate inquiries into local and state level politics.

docbeard posted:I assume this is actually going to be the Republican tactic to stave off the 'support Trump on good poo poo and fight him on bad poo poo' plan some Democrats are suggesting. Yeah, I was just thinking about that last night. It would make a lot of sense for them to try to split up the Democrats' coalitions this way.

The Clinton campaign's strategy makes perfect sense if you start with the assumption that she will win in at least a 2008-level landslide no matter what.

Yeah, I'm over a week without even a form reply from the state Dems in Iowa. The phone # for their office has gone to voicemail. My congressman's office was better, I got someone live. They took my support for Keith Ellison and told me at this time there are no plans to re-form the house populist caucus atm. I still think this is the best way going forward, so I let them know and hope others do as well.

SNL had this skit after the whole 'grab her by the pussy' tape came out showing Hillary celebrating with her campaign staff (but pretending to be appalled at the behavior). Kinda think this is what happened and everyone working the campaign went on auto pilot. To think they were MORE incompetent than 2008 (where they didn't understand that you needed to win delegates) is mind boggling.

http://www.glyphgryph.com/ Making some updates to the (admittedly still very poo poo) website. If anyone has any information for getting involved with their state level or even more local parties after digging around, especially in New York and Texas, please let me know. i'll try to add it all to the website and have something approaching a central directory. For states where there's no online info listing this already, we'll probably create new spreadsheets.

ThndrShk2k posted:Don't assume I don't think global climate change isn't an issue. Thanks for the same argument that hillary supporters used about her 78% chance of SUPREME VICTORY. Its instant denial, I really hate the fox and the grapes parable and occams razor. It tends to create lazy ways of thinking, and arctic sea ice is hosed this year. I live there you morons. There isn't magic sensors that see through clouds to rate ice every day, thats like fat people thinking lap bands magically make them skinny. You can deny reality all you want and blame it on a "sensor". Just like most people want to deny the harsh reality facing them every day. You can be in denial all you want, but the reality of earth is, puffins are already dying off because of this, polar bears are only surviving because my tribe gives them table scraps from the whales we hunt. Man, white people suck

GlyphGryph posted:http://www.glyphgryph.com/ I'm probably one of the best points of contact for Arizona. PM me. I have more contacts in the Phoenix/Maricopa County area. The basic level of meeting is at the LD level in Maricopa and Pima county, otherwise it's county meetings only. http://www.azdem.org/county-legislative-district-committees Here's the calendar http://www.azdem.org/calendar The basic level of power in the party is the Precinct Committeeman. You can be either appointed or elected. Only elected PC's can vote at the LD level, but elections are every two years so it's too late for now. Being appointed is easy if you show up more than twice. Being elected is a pain, you fill out a form, get it notarized, and then collect 10 signatures from democrats in your neighborhood. http://recorder.maricopa.gov/electi...mmitteemen.aspx Run for State Committee. At least in Maricopa County, for every two elected PCs, they get one State Committee slot. Again, attendance is a big help for this.

The Vinja Ninja posted:~Intense Cobbing~ Oh no I met someone who understands stastics and measurement, I must cob! White people  As I said, if the readings are 100% correct and not due to a change in how they consider ice coverage globally and the sensors are fine, then unless it spikes back up then we're in for a situation that is sooner than even you think. Basically what I'm saying is lets get analysis and have someone figure out why there's such a stark comparison compared to even the most recent worst year for this time period: 2006, 10 years ago. This kind of poo poo doesn't just happen with our current models and if it does then Florida is probably gone in 6-18 months barring any spike back to average. It is statistically more likely based on data from many many centuries that such a stark change is very very unlikely, even outside of our current recordkeeping stats. Now once you find a cause and have more data and explanation for the issue, then we can tackle it. In the meantime, it's just concerning.

That's not right. http://recorder.maricopa.gov/elections/precinctcommitteemen.aspx http://recorder.maricopa.gov/elections/precinctcommitteemen.aspx One thing I want to add is the reason to get on the State Committee. They're the ones who elect the chairs, who are the ones who vote for the DNC chair. These things aren't always decided by a landslide, and a convincing argument one way or the other might actually change a vote at the national level. Getting involved at this level puts you basically on par with someone who drops a few thousand dollars a year into political races as far as influence goes.

Pomp posted:you're insufferable He could've just argued that Arctic Ice is at an issue, which it's rather warm up north this fall season, at least where I live in Maine But global? That that would imply Antarctic is also having a similar issue in which then it'll produce a cascading effect once summer starts hitting unless it snaps back to average, which with the trend it's going on it's rather unknown that if it will, assuming the current trend is not just an outlier for this year. I understand the significance of the claim he's trying to make, and it's close to doomsday e: vvv

There's a thread in D&D better suited to bringing up climate change arguments. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3750508 Unless it has some direct relevance to the failures of the Democratic Party or attempts to fix them, it doesn't seem particularly relevant here.
