Dec 2015

We are talking about old ass women and their volunteer involvement with the Democratic Party. This has nothing to do with what we are discussing. And anyway, it says "Working for a party or candidate" 4 females and 2 males, or 2/3rds, exactly what I said, even among the youngs. We are not talking about "general civic engagement", whatever the fuck that means.

And besides, I asked about your personal experiences. What is the male/female ratio and general ages of the volunteers on all the other campaigns you have worked on? I suspect that you and yours have not actually done any campaign work. So stop being a total dick to people who have just because they are saying something you don't like.

The original poster is CERTAIN that the youth vote will be there for Sanders because all the young people he knows like him. Many of us old ass females who have worked a bazillion hours of GOTV for Democratic candidates are skeptical because OUR personal experience says otherwise. Turning out the youth vote is like hearing cats. Not saying it can't happen, but it is not as easy as you might think. I recommend doing blanket registration pushes on college campuses, then knock and drag on election day. Regular GOTV strategy has never worked for me in this demographic. Don't even know how to do it in a caucus state. Do you have to get your friends to go to the caucus with you and stand around? Have fun with that. Pro-tip: Don't call the other caucus goers 'old ass'. It will not endear your candidate to them.

hillarians have a HUGE sense of grievance. its all they talk about. roguevalley Dec 2015 #127

So slurs are ok? wildeyed Dec 2015 #147

You don't know what a "hillarian" is... but it's sexist, ageist and just plain mean? Bubzer Dec 2015 #154

No but calling women old ass school marms is. wildeyed Dec 2015 #160

Where did someone call a woman that? morningfog Dec 2015 #162

Maybe I'm parsing it wrong, but it seems the comment said that School marms would reply. Bubzer Dec 2015 #165

You read it right. There is nothing about or direct to women there. morningfog Dec 2015 #238

Not just School marms but old ass school marms n'/t Tommy2Tone Dec 2015 #287

Yes, the type that dismiss youth voters and enthusiasm. Old ass. morningfog Dec 2015 #290

Old ass? Tommy2Tone Dec 2015 #291

He is old ass for sure. But, he appriciates and respects the youth vote. morningfog Dec 2015 #292

and by extension Hillary doesn't? Tommy2Tone Dec 2015 #293

Hillary's supporters don't, see this thread. morningfog Dec 2015 #294

Hillary has not the youth vote to appreciate and respect. Kokonoe Dec 2015 #350

You are going out of your way to interpret comments in such a way Maedhros Dec 2015 #322

Oh bullshit. wildeyed Dec 2015 #325

The entire point of your post was to harangue a Bernie supporter for his supposed "sexism." Maedhros Dec 2015 #326

Right. Cause no one else every does any campaigning... Bubzer Dec 2015 #168

In my experience, wildeyed Dec 2015 #183

Statistics tend to show a relatively evenly split involvement between the genders. Bubzer Dec 2015 #190

Wait, this is only people 15-25. wildeyed Dec 2015 #251

Anecdotal evidence has less weight than statistical. Bubzer Dec 2015 #301

OK, so I said a thing you don't like and there is no possible explanation wildeyed Dec 2015 #318

These statistics are more valid than your unsubstantiated claim. Bubzer Dec 2015 #334

Do you really chose a candidate by their supporters? daleanime Dec 2015 #166

Actually, I hear that a lot from Hillaryites. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Dec 2015 #257

No wonder both teachers unions endorsed HRC. Nice talk. Starry Messenger Dec 2015 #134

No stupider than yours. Starry Messenger Dec 2015 #146

Much stupider. What do my comments have to do morningfog Dec 2015 #155

Good lord. Nothing sexist I. What I wrote, first. morningfog Dec 2015 #234

You're right it's not sexist... one_voice Dec 2015 #330

I don't think youth are posting about the youth voters not being worthy of morningfog Dec 2015 #333

You are free to alert or ignore if it is sooooo offensive to you. morningfog Dec 2015 #236

You didn't answer the question. Why did you think it was okay? JTFrog Dec 2015 #271

Wrong. Starry Messenger Dec 2015 #170

YMV but my friends with AFT paint a significantly different picture than you claim. Bubzer Dec 2015 #178

Maybe they should read their emails. Starry Messenger Dec 2015 #181

You're right. Maybe they should. As well as all the local schools... possibly even the entire state. Bubzer Dec 2015 #185

I am very very active, I am an elected leader in my local and an organizer. Starry Messenger Dec 2015 #189

Perhpas I wasn't clear. The process isn't working for my locality. At all. No e-mails were sent. Bubzer Dec 2015 #192

Everyone got the email about the issues survey--I took it. Starry Messenger Dec 2015 #193

Dont assume that since you got the e-mail, everyone else did too. Clearly, thats not the case. Bubzer Dec 2015 #194

Well, don't know what to tell you. Starry Messenger Dec 2015 #195

It's moot. The agreived groups are going through their processes. I look forward to seeing results. Bubzer Dec 2015 #198

I don't know if it applies to your union, but some union members on DU said the polling was early That Guy 888 Dec 2015 #225

Anecdotal evidence, I know but, I have two teachers in my immediate family both of whom are Hiraeth Dec 2015 #273

3 million. They are one of the biggest unions in the US. Starry Messenger Dec 2015 #174

math isn't my strong point dlwickham Dec 2015 #177

Versus an executive board of, what? 10-12 people? Maybe a few more? Certainly less than a 100. Bubzer Dec 2015 #182
