(1,309 posts)compared to our regular meeting and doubled our volunteer canvassers. Theyseem much more enthusiastic than the Obamabots in2008, which were themselves more enthusiastic than Obama supporters in 2012. Great millenials willing to listen to us old activists and learn.

(12,379 posts)I live in a small college town in a weird little state. People are really energized in my town, so we'll see what happens. I have a hard time doing large social things, as I have major social anxiety, so I'm not sure how much I'll contribute besides doing small gatherings. But it was fun and I love Bernie's message. I'm a university professor with a ton of debt from 13 years of state university education. I see my students falling into tons of debt as well, with poor paying job prospects. I know he cannot solve these problems along, but he is the best chance for a jumpstart to something great!
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.
