I am willing to allow PPJ to continue as mod as long as he submits to coming into this thread for a struggle session where he must respond to every post directed at him for at least three hours.

sorry I know I’m late to this but do you mean that he has to be in this thread for a period of three hours and during that time must respond to every post directed at him, or that he must come into this thread and make a three hour response to every post directed at him?

Meanwhile my friend was recently telling me how he travelled to Virginia for an afternoon because Bloomberg was paying canvassers $15 a signature to get on the Dem primary ballot there. My dude ended up making like $500 and donating it to socialists in Maryland.

Even more than that. There's no way his staffers are directly vetting and recruiting signature gatherers. The candidate's team finds one of several (incredibly shady) contractors who maintain signature gatherers on a gig basis or they rapidly vet and hire whatever their gig pool cannot handle. These outfits are hired guns, they will work for republicans, democrats, real estate developers (most often). They charge the campaign per signature, and give a portion of that to their gatherers. The fees are also dependent on the time constraints of the campaign. If the signature gathering contractor is paying $15 per signature, then you can be guaranteed that the campaign is paying $20-$30 per signature to its contractor.

The business of signature gathering is INCREDIBLY shady as there's a great incentive for those gatherers to commit fraud and fabricate signatures. Thus a "fraud rate" is calculated, so if you need 1500 signatures, you collect 1750 or 2500 if you really don't want to be bounced by thesecretary of state. The signatures are investigated by statistical analysis from a randomly chosen set of submitted signatures, where they actually DO check signatures against voter regs.

This whole system exists for billionaires to sidestep the democratic process of sig gathering that non billionaires must do.

-FUCK...YOU KNOW, THE THING

I have no idea which lovely contractor it was. All I know is that I do basically the same work for lefties and I get paid $15/hr to organize the whole poo poo and it will take our volunteer-driven campaigns months and months to accomplish what fucks like Bloomberg can just drop half a mil on without even thinking about it.

my hope is that iowa polls underperform in bernie's favor much like in 2016. It won't be by as much, but caucuses work in the favor of people with solid bases.

he already has one

posted a succ article about Lis Smith and Mike Schmuhl but everyone went back to tweet embeds and talking about the crazy woman with unresolved issues as a cheap shot instead

quote:

Schmuhl observed that when Buttigieg drops big news on him, it usually starts out casually.

“‘Hey man, I’m thinking of running for mayor.' 'Hey man, I’m going to Afghanistan.' 'Hey man, I’m gay.' 'Hey man, I want to be DNC chairman.' 'Hey man, I think I might run for president,’” Schmuhl said.

“The guy knows how to keep you on edge.”
