Jackson Taus posted:I'm working as a Staging Location Director this weekend. I had someone come in, grab three signs, and ask for a T-shirt (which our candidate doesn't give out). When I asked her if she would think about volunteering, she said "maybe, probably not. I'm going to the Victory Party though". As if that was a positive thing, like showing up after the polls close and eating our food is supposed to somehow be a good and helpful thing I should be grateful for. And of course I've got to be nice because I'm representing a campaign, but she was the quintessential slacktivist - literally everything frustrating about some of these folks. drat, that sounds rough. I never even imagined that a person could be so disgusting with regards to "helping out," but I guess I must be lucky to work on such an awesome campaign. I don't think I've seen a single volunteer at our office that wasn't just as motivated as our paid staff.

It's finally been called. We lost by less than 1%.

Arnold of Soissons posted:The tag team of first blaming apathetic voters for not volunteering, and then reaming volunteers for not working harder than paid staff was really funny to read, and a great microcosm of why no one wants to vote Dem Eh, this is a lounge thread, so it's inherently prone to people venting and complaining after they get home from a long day at work. Still, no one is complaining about volunteers not working as hard as paid staff, so I don't know what you're on about.  Anyways, post-mortem on the Ose / Bera race coming soon.

We did it! It was a real David and Goliath scenario, with our opponent getting endorsements form all the big name Democrats in the capital, but we ran a really clean grass roots campaign and it worked. The good guys win every once in a while!
