20. You aren't the only banned Sanders support

Fri Jul 24, 2015, 07:37 AM

Jul 2015

randys1 is a strong supporter and was banned.

I'm a member of the O'Malley Group - I just checked the Sanders group.

We have NO members blocked there -

Sanders Group has dozens.

Now I'm going to call out sheshe here - she shouldn't be posting there. From watching her political point of view - that's not her candidate. It's just not. Love her! But her passion for what she is FOR if you aren't also FOR it could be overwhelming - and to me that's a good thing. But people are different and respond in different ways to challenges in their thinking.

Me - I have the group blocked - there's no need for me to be back there so I have a full trash so I don't see the threads - I don't want to intrude etc. etc.

What is disturbing is you ARE a supporter - and I would think that from a GOTV p.o.v. there should be every opportunity to explore the candidate and strategize as a cohesive group on canvassing and calling efforts. Each of us in the Primary and in the G.E. will have to overcome objections and if you have ZERO idea about the objections you will face - you are dead in the water at someone's front door.

You know - I did a post in the O'Malley group about black folks (friends and family) who are supporting O'Malley to tap down the 'Hillary has that vote in the bag' voices. At no time did the group hosts block me for discussing a demographic that is need to win the primary.

And in reading what you've posted here - it appears you just wanted to have a discussion.

If Bernie Sanders is the candidate elected to run on the Democratic ticket - we are going to be struggling to find ways to overcome objections a few months before the election.

Not good - we should know BEFORE the convention what we need to say to generate votes.
