Andrew, dude bro, not a good use of Dem. registration data...

shannonwoodward ?@shannonwoodward

Someone from the @SenSanders campaign cold texted me. Then belittled me.

1. LOL! Waaaah for being unable to take a joke after her's fell flat.

Phone bankers must keep a clever sense of humor at all times.

[bigwillq]

2. His response was awesome.

[rjsquirrel]

3. You should reply with

"I'm so sorry for your loss."

[BobbyDrake]

4. Here's the one I got...

"Helllooo {my name}! My name is Jack Schmidt, I'm a volunteer in {my county} with the Bernie campaign. Are you feeling the Bern as much as I am? {3 flame emoticons}"

My response:
"Lose my number. Now."

[Live and Learn]

5. That would be a pretty typical Bernie supporter response from the supporters I know.

Bernie supporters are the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Bernie has done us a Yuuuge favor by getting us all together and allowing us to realize that so many feel the same way we do. The genie can't be stuck back in the bottle, the movement can only grow from here.

[Henhouse]

6. She is just happy that Andrew didn't try to "mansplain" why she should feel the Bern.

Looks like the Sanders' organization needs babysitters to keep their volunteers from insulting potential voters.

[Bluenorthwest]

8. If I was the person being called, I would not respond with a campaing slogan I'd say that I

support the other Democrat. If I was making the call, I'd not say 'get well' but I would say 'your polling place is the same no matter which Democrat you are voting for, glad to hear you will be casting your vote'.

And anyone who uses name calling tactics like 'dude bro' fails to garner my respect.

[Henhouse]

9. "And anyone who uses name calling tactics like 'dude bro' fails to garner my respect."

I don't shame easily...but nice try....

[Bluenorthwest]

10. Obviously you are shameless, shamelessness also does not impress me, it is just self indulgence

wrapped up in entitlement and privilege. Further, the name calling has to have a motive, that sort of thing simply can not help Hillary, it's aimed at harming Bernie and the only beneficiary is you. You are soaking in it fully for your own amusement and to the detriment of both candidates and of this Party.

But you have fun, and that's what matters. Right?

[Henhouse]

11. I'm with Her. Sorry that is a trigger for people like you and Andrew...nt

[BobbyDrake]

13. +1!

[Bluenorthwest]

14. 'People like you'? There you go again. Insults and slogans, all for your own pleasure

and to the detriment of Hillary and Bernie and the Democratic Party.

[Henhouse]

16. Appreciate the concern trolling....I can't speak for Bernie but,

Hillary and the Democratic will be just fine after we nominate Hillary on Tuesday....

So you came to DU just to do what you are doing here today. Flinging trash talk and smearing Democrats.

[Henhouse]

21. I've been member since 2002. Not sure what you're are getting at...n/t

[Bluenorthwest]

24. 2002-2016 you made 27 posts. In the last 90 days you have made 444 posts for a total of

571. You speak to other DUers in a surly and privilege soaked manner and your posting history suggests an interest in this Primary that has been absent in other election cycles and around other issues. 14 years of no posts. Then 571 in 90 days.
It's an odd pattern and when it comes with trash talk and name calling as leading style element it does raise a few questions.

[MissB]

28. Really, this is such an odd thing to call out a long time member about.

Lots of people lurk and rarely comment. Calling someone out for that? That's the odd thing here.

Go for more civility.

[Henhouse]

31. Maybe, for the last fourteen years, even in 2008, I wasn't as inspired to post.

The attacks on Hillary, by both the Bernie people and right-wingers, on this site, was the tipping point.

I don't even know what you mean by "surly and privilege soaked manner"? I'm I supposed to be cowed by that. You don't like my tone?

You can't be this un-self aware?

[pinebox]

36. You're with her? Like the FBI is with her? :)

[stone space]

41. Oh, now you did it!

I'm with Her. Sorry that is a trigger for people like you and Andrew...nt

[dsc]

33. she wasn't called she was texted

and she choose an efficient way to let the person know that they were barking up the wrong tree. The volunteer was completely out of line, full stop. You are perilously close to using a she wore a short skirt justification in this thread. She shouldn't have to text war and peace in order to avoid being snarked at.

[Armstead]

26. You blow your credibility with the use of "mansplain"

The constant use of gender for every criticism is a red herring. There are other reasons for opposing Clinton.

Sorry if that strikes you as "mansplaining."

[geek tragedy]

35. It kinda does seem that way.

"Listen missy, there is nothing sexist about a man being a condescending jerk to a woman and refusing to respect her decisions"

[Henhouse]

7. In a world where unicorns exist and Bernie Bros don't...

Women just love getting texts from strange men belittling their choices...

Even more mildly disturbing is the posters in this thread who are giving him an atta boy....

[nc4bo]

12. No hen, what is disturbing is cockadoddling over NBFD like you are.

and you know what else? It's not disturbing, wrong word. It's pretty dang funny

[PowerToThePeople]

15. She should not have signed up for text updates if she did not want them.

I get texts from the Bernie campaign a few times a week.

[Bluenorthwest]

17. I was wondering why she'd set up text alerts if she did not want them....

Obviously she had a use for them.

[Henhouse]

19. Her name is provided to the campaigns by the Democratic party...

You believe that gives the Sanders' campaign and excuse to insult her....or that she is somehow asking for it?

[Bluenorthwest]

22. Uh, that's not how text communications with campaings works.

I've never once had a text from any campaign because I do not let them text me. It's my choice.

[Henhouse]

25. Maybe she wants texts from the Democratic Party...

Why should she have to opt out? Wouldn't it be easier for the Sanders' campaign to spend more time training and supervising their volunteers so texts like this do not get disseminated far and wide?

[Henhouse]

18. "She should not have signed up for text updates if she did not want them."

So, if she didn't want to be harrassed by Andrew she shouldn't have put herself out there....?

Uh huh.....

[PowerToThePeople]

23. his response was not harassment.

[Henhouse]

27. I think it's harassment.

Girl outta be able to sign up for texts from the Dem. Party without having to put up with Andrew's smart mouth.

Obviously this is mild on the scale of things. What I find illuminating is the Sanders people who are defending his text. Thought you would have go with the "Brockoli plant" angle.

Oh well.....

[PowerToThePeople]

29. ..

She signed up for Bermie texts.

She is either forgetful, a liar, or possibly someone signed her up as a joke.

Why doesn't she just unsubscribe and solve the issue?

Took her longer to rant about it online than to solve the issue. That sounds like someone with a motive that is not pure.

[CrowCityDem]

30. Explicitly insulting voters seems to be the Bernie way. And he wonders why he's losing...

[HooptieWagon]

32. Cool story, Bro.

[beachbum bob]

34. lol....very funny

[Henhouse]

37. lol...I love the "she asked for it" defense too...Priceless..n/t

[pinebox]

38. Meanwhile....in a coffee shop somwhere......

[ISUGRADIA]

40. Wow

I'm sure her employer was thrilled with that comment .

[pinebox]

42. She's the owner
