Either we shall experience an economic collapse and mass unemployment far worse than the depression of the thirties. Or, the human race will suffer virtual annihilation in a nuclear global war. Or, we shall be drawn into a new dark age of industrial feudalism that will see our class degraded to the level of docile serfs of a Capitalist plutocracy.

Yeah frankly I think this election shows that more needs to be done other than donating money. However this is also a thing I had a lot of push back from the local dem committee meeting on. So good luck changing it.

Are they paying for professional lobbyists to contact the legislature and speak for them? I have always been a bit iffy about rallies unless they actually have a specific goal, they generally seem to exist for solidarity more than for their effects on outside events. Someone actually schmoozing pols probably is more effective... assuming thats even what the money would go to, which it might well not be

Rallies are good because you can have people speak and voice concerns who don't normally get to have a public platform. Like you said maybe its just a solidarity kind of thing, but when you look at Socialist Alternative in Seattle, they've been really successful in achieving success and I get donation e-mails from them all the time, but in those e-mails there's usually something else like, "And by the way come down town Seattle on X date to participate!" And their route to success seems to be holding protests and rallies in support of whatever policy it is they want to get through city council.

VAN access is expensive. Every local group needs to raise their part of the cost. Fair enough. I think every local group ought to get a nationbuilder page. That's not super cheap, maybe a few hundred a year. Sometimes they rent office space during election season as a campaign HQ. $$$ I'll actually look into this and see what the County level and state parties actually spend money on.

Dr. Arbitrary posted:Don't want to derail too much on math stuff, but an enormous amount of math education is memorizing tables and practicing algorithms. The hired team fills 70 potholes/7-day week. I'd hire the discount team for 6 days to fill 12 potholes for $30,000 I still need to fill 18 potholes, so I hire the premium team for 3 days for $60,000. I'm under-budget by $10,000, so I get to keep $1000 as my bonus, all for doing a good job at simple math. Did I get it right? Also, I agree with this argument that math needs to be engaging. Like loquacious said earlier, it's really like music theory and staff composition without touching an instrument or hearing the tune you're analyzing (coming from someone who was both pretty dece at math and played music for a long time). Direct integration with science and hands-on application also helps big-time. In the 3rd-5th grades I was in an "advanced" math/science class where we played with legos and ate pizza. I think there was something to calculating the circumference of a gear compared to its total surface circumference and calculating ratios and percentages of cheese slices that stuck with me.

I think one of the things in this country that really, really could benefit from better tech and infrastructure is local politics, especially given how far behind the times the Democratic party is. Social media integration, things like NationBuilder...something, anything.

Atrocious Joe posted:Which one of these has multiple degrees increase in global temps first one would see a temporary dip in carbon emissions from reduced manufacturing productivity, but otherwise wouldn't do much to slow the rising temperatures second one would have a short term (1-2 years) but massive reduction in global temperature from airborne particulates being blown into the upper layers of the atmosphere. but a nuclear exchange would ultimately release 700 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere, accelerating the process even more. third one would see a big uptick in co2 emissions that would lead to a greater global mean temperature that would ultimately take us past the point of no return faster.

Even something that sounds relatively simple like an app/website where you could put in your address and it'd tell you what your county level Democratic organization is, their website/info, upcoming meeting times and locations, what you can do to get involved, etc, would really help, I think. I bet there's a ton of people who'd like to help out but simply don't know what to do or where to show up.

Hell yeah! alright people let's get working on a design for a flag that says "kill the rich" that we can all hang on our flag poles. Let's get some neo-sun-down towns where the rich can't be after dark but poors of all race, creed, religion, and ethnicity are welcome. You'll have to carry a bank statement with you at all times.
