establishment dems are using the rent money to prop up their gambling losses in trying to test out their special trademarked martingale secret system, and i'm over here like "gently caress, y'all, let's just cut our losses and focus on voter outreach. i mean, fukkin' knock every door gives out free training for that poo poo.

but, no, baddems want us to think about selling plasma because *this* time it'll work, they promise.

GHF, someone posted this about her local dem club; I think it might have been in TN:

quote:

I spent Monday evening trying to get a handful of old women to relinquish a tiny modicum of control to someone else who volunteered his time and effort to build them a facebook page and an interactive website. It was an excruciating experience. They complain about needing young people, but won’t do anything that reaches out to them or make any effort to accommodate their busy lives. It’s insane. The woman in charge, who has a stranglehold on everything in this particular Dem club, doesn’t want Facebook because a. she doesn’t want anyone saying anything bad about republicans, you can’t even mention republicans at all and b. she doesn’t want to have to deal with mean people and c. doesn’t want anyone who has ever made a grammatical error to be able to post at all.

If I had the energy I could go on for hours about some of the things that really bother me about what they do and how they do it, but I’m too weak right now and we’d be here all night. There are the “Pro-Life Democrat” buttons I’m forced to wear when representing the club in public. There’s the fans we’ll be handing out at the county fair that have a depressed, saggy-eared donkey with the words “Pray for us” printed on them, or how they refused to hold any meetings at any time other than the same monthly meetings (for only 6 months, three in spring and three in fall) of the year to accommodate the schedules of young mothers who want to be involved but can’t make a Thursday night at 6pm in the basement of an old church. We won’t be registering voters at the county fair because “we’ve never gotten much out of it in the past” and we won’t be offering up the petitions to fight against the right to work law that some of us trained to do because the boss lady thinks she’s the only one who should be allowed to do that. I’ll be sitting in that damned booth in the July heat during the hottest part of the day on a Saturday. I’m taking my damned petitions whether she likes it or not.

This particular club is thinking of giving up and calling it quits. I’m goading them to change, but I don’t have much hope. And given the nature of those in charge of this particular club, I’m beginning to think it might be a good idea for them to fold, then round up those young folks they’re excluding and start over with fresh faces and ideas. These people are the party’s worst enemy right now. Yes, the state party gave them no help through the last few cycles, but they haven’t exactly helped themselves, either. The whole thing is a clusterfuck of enormous proportions. No wonder we lost every state office last cycle. Pray for us, indeed.

[magazine covers galore]

i mean, why would she run?

[sets up superpac]

that's ridiculous, she's a mother and she's got her charity work keeping her busy as it is

[announces candidacy]

okay, so i thought she wasn't running -- but that's not important, the thing is you *have* to support her.
