it's a pretty lopsided bet, if bernie wins you get to give him a couple bucks but if he loses you suffer from overpowering self-hate for the rest of your life

how bout this: if bernie wins PA jisforjosh donates $100 to bernie, if hillary wins then I'll look in her general direction for 4 or 5 seconds

Oh I'm still donating, I voted for Bernie in Texas and would rather he win than Clinton. He's more than likely out barring some huge shift (IE winning PA by a comfortable margin). So if he wins PA, my $100 isn't so wasted.

Edit: His supporters online have driven me away from donating to him more than his loses.

Well when you're on the Internet so much due to work and how ingrained it is in life now, you can't escape it.

I jumped into the Sanders thread after a hiatus from SA politics and was flooded with :bernget:, delusional optimism, and floods of "humorous" image posts.

there's now also a push to call Nevada (yes, nevada)

apparently we can get some delegates if other delegates don't show up to the convention. since they're over-confident clinton supporters, it's likely.

i believe you'll be calling people who are already "strong bernie", so it's pretty chill

They updated the livevox dialer and you can't hit the ready button on tablets because it has no touch target, I had 4 people at a phone bank last night who couldn't make calls and it was some serious bullshit. The fact that it is a flash based dialer doesn't help

Yes I called my contact in the campaign and they said to just use hub dialer for the weekend but it is a mess since all the phone bank events won't know what the gently caress is going on until it's fixed and in my experience most people have tablets

I think it's more about creating a cultish environment where any and all random behavior is reinforced, but then the high from the one or two empty quotes of a " :gethill: " post fades, and so the user donates to get the most possible attention from the collective. The "poo poo post for Bernie and I'll we'll donate x" is just a way of fueling this endorphin-producing machine

Is that new? I've always had that issue on mobile since a month or so ago, and resorted to hubdialer on tablets for that very reason. Livevox is like 4 times as good since you're getting cellphone numbers instead of just landlines, but Hub still works in a pinch and you get to make calls at least.
