However if she is against them, are there in fact more people who don't like them? It seems strange Yeah corporations don't like them. P2P economic models are what ate up the music industry. It's basically the modern equivalent of coming out against Napster except the people are actually paying people for the service and only middle men are getting squeezed out of the deal. | ||

Bernie Sanders raised 68 percent of his $15.4 million from small donors. Even for a Republican presidential candidate, the paltry amount raised from small donors is striking. In 2012, for example, Mitt Romney's campaign got 18 percent of its money from donors giving $200 or less. But perhaps an even more telling figure is how much money Bush's campaign got from very rich people. We don't know exactly how rich, but we do know that in the last election, just 0.04 percent of Americans donated the maximum of $2,600 to a candidate (donors can give twice that much if they donate to a candidate for both the primary and general election). And Bush's filing today reveals that an astonishing $9.3 million—or 81 percent of his total haul—came from people donating $2,700, the inflation-adjusted equivalent of last year's maximum. Source I think more than that actually came from small donors for Bernie but I'm working on other things so I'll double check later. EDIT: | ||

We are at nearly 75,000 people at almost 2,500 meetings across the country on July 29th to start our grassroots campaign for Bernie Sanders If you haven't looked recently for a meeting in your area please check again as they are constantly being added. If you are already attending a meeting please find a way (facebook, twitter, email, face-to-face etc...) to share that you are going to a meeting and try to bring some friends. In addition there will be LIVE streams hosted by grassroots reporters from across the country on Bernie2016TV all evening on the 29th. If you would like to participate LIVE or just submit some video or pictures from you're meeting send me a PM (or post here) and I will contact you with the details to get your event/video/pictures broadcast across the country.

To me this weird PR-type narrative of "look at the numbers and click those links and get engrossed and absorbed in this movement" just reminds me of a walmart ad. Click here do this and that we want a big footprint. Call me a cynic, I just don't associate Bernie Sander's momentum or his general character to this kind of used car salesman's pitch. Fair enough. Sometimes my inner salesperson seeps through. I'd happily change it if you could point to some specifics. I'm practically blind to it when I write it myself. I'm very open to constructive criticism The idea of the thread is to show what's being generated by the grassroots, I want it to have a presentation worth of the efforts that are going into the stuff being produced. So advice as how I could do that better would be helpful. | ||

So advice as how I could do that better would be helpful. I don't know, frankly this is a new way to do politics even by Canadian standards and I wouldn't know what the proper approach would be. I spent a couple of months as a political attaché/press officer for a provincial MP who barely lost his election and from being completely immersed in it I can tell you that the dirtiest part of politics as far as I'm concerned was the cherrypicking of statistics and numbers to impress people who don't understand them, and then putting them in cute graphics. The first thing that reminded me of old dirty politics was the image posted above, "I was ready for Hillary until Bernie 2016". I understand, it's thinly veiled dirty politics though, and it's what I did a few years back. I'd work with a graphic designer, feed him some bullshit numbers and catchphrases, cherrypick quotes and information that people wanted to hear. The image in question is perhaps harmless but to me it seems like when you added the numbers about Bernie Sanders growing fast based on website traffic. It's not uninteresting, but I'd just keep that low. Same with the campaign donation numbers, it seems like the mass media are more interested in talking about millions of dollars than millions of people. If I were you, I'd try to stir this thread towards his policies, his recent declarations that matter, as well as bringing up the glassroots stuff and meetings and general interest in Sanders. Not saying "75000 people care about this". I don't care. Trump cares about these metrics. I care about policy. Granted I'll give you that it makes sense to be working on tackling people's skepticism, mine included, but to me it's clear that there's a big movement that's coming alive and if that's true it'll be self explanatory and at the end of the day what goes unreported in the media is not the poll numbers but the actual platform that people remain ignorant about. | ||
