yes and i wrote them a strongly worded email that i was very disappointed in them for it. they have a soapbox that they can use for positive change in this godforsaken world and they're neglecting their moral duty to use it responsibly. shame on you jon stewart. shame on you and your diarrhea jokes.

Part of me really hopes that it will at least get people to google his name, and that it was still a net positive.:retrogames::f5h::confuoot:

i think they wrote it the same day as his announcement so maybe they were scrambling for anything and we'll see better things as the campaign progresses

Yea, maybe they will bring up the day 1 fundraising. Or search results. Or even have him on the show.

Out of fear? Or is he not credible?

I get the whole "he can never win" thing, but he just started last week. I wish there were more numbers out on fundraising. His website makes it seem like he won't get serious until next month :11tea:

Guys we're not doing enough to help uncle Bernie, start making campaign signs and slogans

I agree with this. I'm poo poo for creativity, but I can leaflet cars and front doors like a boss. Do they have any official materials, or do we just come up with our own?

Wait. How is a worker co-op different from a union?

In a union he workers are negotiating with the management and their representatives. Two distinct groups. In a co-op the workers are the owners and they negotiate among themselves. The two groups above are one and the same.

Worker co-ops getting talked about in politics alone would be a useful contribution to our national discourse

Yea. For all the talk about democracy being a good thing, nobody gets on tv and advocates for it in the workplace.

we could also go the "1 post for 28 hours and then 1972 posts in one hour" route

Well, to get to 200, and steal all of the goon money so far for Bernie, we need around 6000 posts. So, give us your best everyone!
