When I was more involved in politics
I was phone banking for a Senate Seat in PA, can't remember who, but Obama was President. I called a blind guy who was on SSI. He was against the Democrats because he was told to take his short-wave antennae down by the HOA. He connected that with Obama and not his HOA. People aren't rational or smart. It is remarkable democracy has made it this far.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
