Yup, we got WFP! WFP will likely be joining Demand Justice in doing IE spending on this race. Though of course, I can't know this for certain because we can't coordinate.

I know I've said this a lot, but if you have anytime at all, it has never been more important to phone bank for Jess. These next few days could plausibly be the difference between defeat or victory because we are calling through the roughly 40,000 people who have been mailed ballots (16% of registered Dems in DE have requested a ballot!).

Please, take two hours out today to do this. I've put everyday of my life into this since September. Prior to that, I put like eight months into Kerri's campaign, and wasn't paid (except for the last week or two) because I donated my money to another staffer. I am on the verge of tears constantly because this loving state is a garbage fire and I know it can be fixed, but I need people's support.

For context, on Thursday, less than 5% of people said they were supporting Coons when we called them, and historically that number is only about 9%. About 43% typically say they'll support Jess when called, and the rest are undecided. Those are great numbers, but they do not matter unless they are aware of this campaign and now is the best time to do it because they have their ballots (or will have them very soon).

So please loving phone bank:

I dont really know how that's being an rear end in a top hat but he's just trying to help get more volunteers. We got hit by the sudden news that like 39,000 ballots were sent out to voters already and we're trying to get as many people on the phone calling those 39,000 people as possible to make sure they know Jess is an option. People overwhelmingly like her and her platform as long as they actually know she exists.

Alobar is a great phone banker and a great musician and people really made him feel like poo poo and he got defensive which any of us would do when someone makes us feel like poo poo.

The simple fact is that he Kramered in and, upon getting shocked reactions, doubled down.

You do realize that people in that thread have contributed food, medicine, and protective gear? Have helped organize each other in regard to bail funds and general support for those who can't actively get involved? That some of those posters have been involved with forcing votes by intransigent city councils? Have been assaulted again and again either physically or with gas? Have rendered medical aid?

He told people actively resisting that their happy fancy pant bullshit didn't matter compared to phonebanking for a future vote.

It was tone deaf as hell. I'm sorry he feels bad. I'm glad he didn't mean it. I had to apologize myself there not long ago. I get that he was :justpost:ing

Everyone there is glad to have a new ally.

Tell him I'm sorry for freaking out, too. Just.. read the room.

"activism?!" Alobar kramers in the door and just keeps kramering, sliding off around the room, bouncing against walls. he kramers against your toilet, busting it up big time. you get the feeling he's trying to say something to you but he's kramering at such a high velocity you just can't quite make it out. as he finally nails a window and falls out you think you hear him exclaim "I'm phonebanking for Jess, that's what's so CRAZY about this" on the way down

Seriously, though? He didn't know what kind of thread he was in. I was an inter-subforum dick, making GBS threads up multiple threads because I am an rear end.

I think I come out as the loser in this one. I went and told teacher as a grown as adult on a webforum despite being nearly 40.

Well, sure.

But you've got a passionate guy in a jokey forum thinking he's getting messed with because they're "playing" at being serious with him. I took it to the Trump thread and got what he got for opposite reasons. Private messages were exchanged. A mod got involved. But I was intentionally a Karen while he thought he was being hosed with.

Even his backhanded attempt at an apology was literally "we believe the exact same things and are in pain for the same reasons, but we have butted heads *in this moment* because we have different focuses *right now*." It was wrong-headed but angry and sincere for the very same reasons the thread was angry. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

He should lurk a bit, catch up, and join us. A good week after the primary. Get a cooldown first.

Alobar, I hosed up. I took a minor mistake and then dragged your name through the mud. I'm really loving sorry, and I I should never have taken it that far.

polls don't exist for small districts. please phone bank though. tonight we were calling people who were mailed the ballot, and 64% supported jess and only 4.9% support coons.

but none of that matters if you don't phone bank and inform people of this race.

I really can't stress enough that polls aren't a thing outside of huge races. As you work with local campaigns, you learn that they are practically irrelevant and their presence in the political meta-discussion culture is vastly over represented.

Rigel

Doctor Teeth posted:

No, and its hard to say if she has a real shot or not. Her supporters are painting the picture that all the elements of another AOC type of upset are there: entrenched lazy out of touch incumbent who is not taking a primary challenge seriously, smaller electorate irritated at their Senator for whom old fashioned retail politics and hard work could actually win significant amounts of voters, passionate supporters, etc.

That message on the board is understandable because they want phonebankers and volunteers and people want to think it has a real chance before they agree to invest time into it, but we'll see. Alternatively it could turn out that, no actually Coons was well aware of what was going on in his state and stayed on top of things all along in watching out for his left flank and that people responding to calls saying they liked her campaign were only being polite.

Phone bankers on this campaign are told to lean very skeptical. Unless we directly hear "ill be voting for Jess scarane" we don't mark as support so we're not deluding ourselves. One thing I think that has hurt other campaigns is people think that if a candidate and the voter are aligned on issues, the voter will vote for the candidate but we know people are super irrational about that.

Instead of pontificating on this like it's some unknowable thing, you can actually phone bank and judge for yourself.

Or ask me, I've been on this since before it launched.
