This year we have 33,552 votes, and
Joe 21,215. 63.2
Bernie 12,337. 36.8

We had a huge influx of people who had never voted before last time and were certain that they were being messed with. They would not listen to any facts about the voting process being candidate neutral, that they ARE the party, none of it.

How we reach out in our own communities to those 36.8% before they drink the bs ‘both parties are the same, no point in voting” bullshit that is being peddled to them without them even being aware of it.

/I was for Bernie in the primary both years but worked my heart out for Hillary. Looking back, there was more I could do. Looking for suggestions other than phone banking and giving money.

I’m also interested to know how Joe will fight Big Pharma and the credit card companies.

Not asking him to make a statement that will put a target on his back.

This is where we wade into the grey area that depends us discerning the values of the candidate.

I loved listening to him on Colbert. If you haven’t heard it, please check it and share. I thought surely it’s just a few minutes long but it was indeed the whole 50 minutes, sorely need more like that, long airtime to let the man talk and be heard. Young people keep telling me they are hearing crickets from him. Of course their incoming messaging is being managed by algorithyms designed to silence Joe, imho.
