I'm getting involved in some stuff in my area (south central MN) and I joined the Discord channel to ask questions, but it looks like I need to be verified. I set my nickname there to be the same as my SA username, and so I'm hoping that someone here can verify me.

get that OUT of my face posted:

so Thompson lost by 6%, which is a good showing in a district that Pompeo won by over 20%. but if the DNC and state party (they gave him a whopping $3000) actually gave a single gently caress about that race, he could have won. dear leader Perez said that they didn't have the money to spend a month after singling out lack of attention to "unwinnable" races a mere month ago

i'm starting to get the feeling that getting involved with the democrats is kind of a waste of time, fellas
Yeah, it was lovely that they didn't support him, but I think the result of the election itself is gonna help get money to way more candidates in "unwinnable" districts in 2018.

The Democrats are a stubborn organization that's gonna need to be grabbed by the reins and pulled where you want it to go, and it's gonna be a struggle, much like one may have needed to pull on the reins of say a donkey, back when those were common work animals.

Thanks! I'll keep all of these in mind :)

Be prepared to discuss really, really boring stuff.

Our last meeting was dominated by a discussion of our current office space, whether we should move or not, and the pros and cons of both. This was the second meeting I was at about this, and I understand that there were a few I wasn't at, and it'll likely be at least one more before we come to a final decision.

It's pretty important to get right, since this office is where a bunch of the local 2018 campaign stuff will happen, but it's also about as energizing as your average church committee meeting. However, this is the basic blocking and tackling that folks need to do to make sure that things go smoothly in 2018.
