I sent in a volunteer application to the San Diego Dems so I guess maybe I'll be getting involved possibly.

This is not the way to get involved in the actual party stuff. Go to meetings and email and call people to find out what is happening and how to make your voice heard

If you just want to be free labour thats fine to but you should still get to know people so you end up doing free labour for the right person anyway so still also do the other stuff

Oh I'm gonna do that too for sure, I just thought being a volunteer is also a good thing to do.

From what I understand it's a combination of "they got the message" and "you motherfuckers are gonna ruin this for me by sending lovely harassment to the folks whose votes I need".

Good on Keith. The measure of a leader is not only if he can tell his followers to speak out, but also if he can tell them to shut the hell up.

I was afraid I'd missed the CA Assembly District vote for my district today because I've been sick this week with a head cold that's only just now cleared up, but my district vote happens tomorrow so I'll actually be able to attend. Yay.

I didn't put my own name forward because I don't even know if I'm still going to be living here in two years and also because there's three or four candidates on the slate already whose blurbs basically say everything I think.

I wasn't able to attend the ADEM voting thing because I was still pretty sick on Sunday but I'm glad to hear that statewide the progressives are doing well.

Did we ever find out why the Massachusetts Dems capitulated and bent so hard over MJ legalization and pushed back the start date so far?

My guess is because establishment Dems by and large see marijuana legalization advocates in the same way that Republicans do: they're all that one really annoying guy from your dorm who constantly continually unrelentingly talked about weed and had stereotypical white guy dreads that were more dirt and hair oil than dread.

Also law enforcement and police unions.
