My gently caress up stoner uncle is a pretty ok carpenter that sells eggs at a roadside market in New England and I would 100% prefer him to be president over Trump or Hillary. He's a good dude.

i think the digital operation hillary put together was really good, real groundbreaking stuff. they were the first campaign to figure out how to use volunteers for mass texting to reach otherwise extremely difficult to contact voters. probably one of the things they would have been bragging on after the election when they won, except they lost and no one gave a poo poo.

Bernie did this too. I still get messages from "our revolution" as well.

the problem is that the mass texting which reached extremely difficult to contact voters probably activated more Trump voters than they thought it would lol

Acting like figuring out how to text voters is some great accomplishment is the kind of low-end goal setting that has made the Democratic Party a poo poo hole.

it's more complicated than that. fcc laws don't allow mass-texting without opt-ins, meaning you can't use your existing phone lists without a very expensive and time consuming acquisition process. some new texting firms sprung up in 2015 and both hfa and bernie camps started doing it - they use a loophole that makes it legal as long as you manually press the "send" button for each text. while a number of organization's used texting to some degree, hfa's innovation was developing a platform for mass texting that could work on a huge scale and integrate with the rest of the field program in a seamless way. it's probably the most exciting thing to come out of this cycle since it's a totally new mode of contact.

Secondary Objective: Commit Fraud - Complete

Don't believe me? It's all in the numbers. For a hundred years, there's been a conspiracy of plutocrats against ordinary people. Number one: In 1945 corporations paid 50 percent of federal taxes. Now they pay about 5 percent. Number two: In 1900 90 percent of Americans were self-employed; now it's about two percent.
It's called consolidation. Strengthen governments and corporations, weaken individuals. With taxes, this can be done imperceptibly over time.
The entire executive branch is hand-picked. Nineteen of the last twenty-three U.S. presidents have been members of the Trilateral Commission. The Trilateral Commission is financed by the Rockefellers and the Rotschilds. Don't tell me --"That's a think-tank. Anyone can become a member."
...but not everyone does. That's why they call it the "secret government." You can't fight ideas with bullets. Do you ever ask what it's for? The surveillance, the police, the shoot-on-sight laws? Is that freedom? UNATCO teaches teenagers to fight when it still seems like a game, and -- look at you! -- you're a killing machine!
Who's the scary one, huh? Me or you? The more of us you kill, the more that secessionism lives in the hearts of the
people. Ever wonder why big car companies pay two percent tax while the guys on the
assembly line pay forty? Corporations are so big you don't even know who you're working for.

That's terror. Terror built into the system.

yeah and people get mad about door knocks and phone calls but they still demonstrably increase turnout. you can increase turnout 2% among turnout targets with texting, so build a tool to text 2 million people and you've got yourself a lot of votes.
