Haha, apparently posting a TIL about the Rainbow Coalition on Reddit is not allowed because it's considered an "inflammatory submission about race"

I don't know why I thought it would be fun to try and post something on Reddit. (I actually tried twice, the first time it was removed for not having a good enough source, this is the second try)

Oh, okay. This is what people were talkin' about earlier in the thread when I asked "why are they stopping legalization" and the only real answer was "they're bad, it's very clear they're bad"

I, however, didn't realize they're overturning something that passed a ballot. That's... man, I donno what their plan is. That everyone forgets? That no one really cares? That literally nothing matters?

Wanted to share a snippet of a post from a volunteer up in Dubuque county, Iowa, which went Red for the first time since 1956. full post at http://www.bleedingheartland.com/

quote:

Guest author nwfisch knocked hundreds of doors in Dubuque County, which voted for the Republican presidential candidate this year for the first time since 1956. -promoted by desmoinesdem

As a delegate for Hillary Clinton throughout the caucus season, I became more engaged as the general election approached. I knocked on doors weekly encouraging voters to request an absentee ballot or else convince them to vote for Hillary and down ballot Democrats. I often pestered coworkers and friends about the election and the importance of speaking out against Donald Trump.

I have no regrets and don’t feel my time was wasted in standing for a competent candidate and against an unprepared and unqualified candidate. This post will air some grievances I had during my time as a volunteer this cycle, attempt to explain why Iowans flocked to the GOP, and offer some ideas for next steps for Democrats to take.

One of the main issues I encountered when door knocking was visiting the same houses over and over again. I’m not sure how the VAN [Voter Activation Network database] worked, but I found it odd to visit the same houses, see the same people, and get the same result from those people we targeted numerous times over.

Also, I recall one of my weekends spent was in vain. It was near a local college, and the registered voters there were all former students who had moved on. Most students claimed they couldn’t register because of they were from different countries, just here going to school. It was very frustrating as a volunteer assigned to chase ballots from people who didn’t even exist according to my list.

I also had concerns with the amount of literature available when I went door knocking, the literature was often only Hillary literature and not for other, downballot candidates. There also wasn’t a lot of yard signs, Clinton/Kaine stickers never arrived, and caucus stickers were still being used the weekend before the election. Not sure if fixing this would’ve stopped much, but when there was a 10 point loss at the top of the ticket, all aspects need to be justified or addressed.

Its the little things that make it. Presidential campaign can't even even handle shipping the updated stickers before the election is over.

does anyone actually think she's the reason that movie is going to be awful?

she's a good comedic actress who can do intensity/over-the-topness well, which is pretty much what you would want in a campy moon witch who is most known for screeching "After 10,000 years I'm free! It's time to conquer Earth!"

not her fault the director and costume designer don't seem to "get" it

makes sense. canvassing student housing is like such a classic dumb move because the voter file is essentially useless there. i assume they saw the same houses over and over again because the organizer simply finished a full pass of the rest of their doors, although i guess they could also have just been real dumb and send people to the same turfs over and over without knocking the rest of it.

i don't think anyone gives a poo poo about whether a sticker says "hillary" or "hillary/kaine" so i guess i'm not upset they saved money by re-using perfectly good stickers from the caucus.

Grondoth posted:

DOWNBALLOT QUEEN

the iowa democratic party ran the program, so i assume judge simply did not print off literature for canvassers to deliver. you might ask, "why would a candidate not print their own literature for other people to drop at doors for them?" i hope one day to learn the answer to that because it's mysteriously difficult given how incredibly cheap printing lit is.
