I gave it the old college try but got stuck figuring out whether I was volunteering for auxiliary or Senate. Plus I am *super* drunk, high, etc. Last thing y'all need is an alcoholic slurring through the script. I will clean up long enough to make some calls tomorrow evening if there's still time, though.

This is a very weird thread. But someone asked me which federal candidate for election they should donate to, and I told them Jessica Scarane was the best use of their money.

Hey, dumb question here, but maybe you guys can help. I got my mail-in Delaware Democratic primary ballot, and while obviously I know who I'm picking for Senate  , I was wondering if you guys knew of any place that had any sort of statements/position collections/etc. for some of the other primaries. I feel like I'm not finding too much beyond the governor candidates, figured I should do some more research on stated positions and the like before I pick, was wondering if anybody had some suggested places to check. Or, for that matter, if anyone wants to pitch any of them in particular I'm quite willing to listen.

I'm not in Delaware but I asked in the campaign slack and it sounds like you can look at the Delaware working families party site to get some ideas for your other down ballots.

Alobar posted:don't beat yourself up too hard if you can't immediately start doing it. just work on getting better every day. Congratulations, seriously. And loving stick with it! Also, thank you. I have been trying but it hasn't really been sticking, y'know? poo poo went goddamn sideways, by the way. Nobody has to believe me, but not a single thing I'm posting is a joke. I hosed up. I hosed up hard. And then I promised to make up for it by phone-banking for Jess. Then I blacked out. Like, 15 minutes later if i put it together right. Then I spent most of the next day vomiting. Then my basement flooded. Then I realized that I was showing signs of depression, which kinda explained the bingeing. I have been a goddamn mess for years with no access to therapy or meds. If any single person shows sympathy for that, step back a second. I'm just laying it out and not trying to be manipulative or fish for compliments or anything like that. Still... is there any other way to help the campaign? I am so, so sorry I gave $50 sometime back, but who even knows what time is anymore. gently caress Feel free to give me a lengthy probe for an unofficial challenge. Sorry, everyone.

Specifically Alobar. I said some stupid poo poo. You had every right to feel singled out and attacked for trying to spread a message of change in favor of a specific candidate in a thread that was alien in tone to the rest of the subforum. I get it. It made perfect sense. Then everything went upside-down. I'm sorry for being a part of that. As to your follow-up post... I desperately wish I could take that pain back. Just swallow it up somehow. I am absolutely mortified at having taken part in making you feel that way. And I apologize if my tone is strange. Best I can manage right now. Just getting ahead of that in case anyone asks. I'm glad you been able to get off that poo poo, though A Terrible Person fucked around with this message at 07:30 on Aug 14, 2020 |

No. Just... no. Check my post history if you can for a tiny taste. I even recognize that denying it (and my previous apology) are actions of both the truly contrite and narcissistic chronic manipulators. I get the feeling I fall in the latter category, which is why I said I wasn't fishing for sympathy or compliments. I know how a well-worded, "contrite" apology can affect people. I'm not asking forgiveness in this case, as such. I'm just saying I hosed up. But, hey, thanks just the same. It felt really good to read that.

Very bad people can say some very nice things on occasion if they want something. I have done it myself, frequently and often without thinking about it. That was the reason for the heavy use of disclaimers. We're used to vile idiots giving so many non-apologies that sometimes people forget the more subtle villainy. Sometimes life forces you to play-act to get food or money or whatever. Sometimes people can enrich themselves emotionally or in other ways by doing the same things writ large. The first version is harmless and often necessary. People doing the latter can use people's better nature to do some big evil, though. Trust everyone, but never lend what you can't afford to lose.

I’ve been back and forth between Bear and Ocean City, MD twice this month and I’ve noticed that all of Jess’ signs are a quarter of the size of the Coons campaign, I assume those ones are a lot more expensive?

Signs don't get votes, and are largely a waste of money that only serve to buoy the morale of existing supporters. Kerri spent a ton on large signs at the end which was a complete waste of money. Instead, we're hiring paid canvassers this week, going on MSNBC and CNN tomorrow or Thursday, robocalled 60k people, called 33k people on Sunday, 9k yesterday, and doing actual work. Please phone bank for us or canvass!

Holy poo poo Jess is just such a legitimately good person. My depression is back and its probably worse than its been in a long time. Just a timing and brain chemical thing. Anyway, because of this I lightened the amount of time I was spending on texting and I havent been able to bring myself to phone bank in a little bit because if someone tells me that they aren't for medicare for all i'm probably just gonna break down crying and ask why they want people like me to just loving give up and die. So all that said - Jess directly reached out to me to ask how I was doing because she hadn't seen me around as much and was wondering how I was doing. Its little poo poo but it seriously is something i've never had happen on any other campaign i've volunteered for and its a big deal to me that i'm volunteering for someone who legitimately cares about the people who are volunteering for her. We had a conversation around it and mental health. Anyway. Its small and its not a big deal to other people probably but its a big deal to me.
