ANYWAY........As I was saying, I hope someone can use the link in the OP to volunteer their help to Bernie Sanders' campaign over the next few months.

If he gets beaten again by any amount are his supporters going to call foul play again? :p Seriously, this stuff about fraud and coin flips is ridiculous. If the Clinton campaign was going to cheat the difference would have been more than .2% and 1 delegate. :rolleyes: And someone said something about "recounting the votes". There are no "votes" in a Dem caucus in Iowa. It is a head count of groups. The only way to do a "recount" would be to hold it all over again and the turnout would most likely be different anyway. And the brouhaha over the coin flips? Holy crap. They were all done in different places, held by different people, witnessed by different people. You can't organize coin flip results in several different precincts like that. It's absurd. :facepalm: The whining done by the Sanders side is making him look like ...well...Trump. :p

Though I do not live there now, I was raised in California and would love to see that state go for Sanders, but my focus is on Illinois and on continuing to donate to the extent possible.

The link is a resource geared toward any city in the nation, just type in your zip code. I'm sure if you live anywhere near Chicago, there are many community events to contribute your time toward and maybe even have some fun in the process. :)

I take donations!
And you get a 501c3 tax deduction too.

Edit:
At some point in the future, I might actually solicit donations for new museum building.
Btw, the money wouldn't go to me. I'd have some influence, but no control over the project.

Ugh. I couldn't volunteer for a call center, not even for Bernie. I'd rather have a door slammed in my face than a hear a dial tone, or worse.

There are several organizational rallies coming up near where I live along with debate parties, university dialog gatherings, voter registration events, etc. Also, because there are 200 wineries in San Luis Obispo county, there are often meet ups where wine is allowed. That's definitely a plus. ;) The list is citizen compiled so there's a variety of ways to help. I know you're set with MoveOn.org so that information is for others who may not know about local ways to help out.

For anyone who's wanting to attend events happening in your area in support of Bernie Sanders or hoping to volunteer somehow, this link may be helpful. I live on the Central Coast of California and there are tons of volunteering opportunities and community events within 25 miles of where I live. The list is updated daily. I tend to have preferences for the events that allow wine, but that's just me. :D Let's Go, Bernie!!!

I appreciate the link. Frankly, I like some of the stuff he says.....but have doubts that it will ever see daylight as policies.

Keane Schwarz is certain he knows the outcome of the vote in his precinct: He was the lone caucusgoer in Woodbury County No. 43.
But the Iowa Democratic Party's final results state that Hillary Clinton won one county delegate and Bernie Sanders received zero....

She likes to claim she's the victim of a "vast right wing conspiracy".
But could it be that she is behind some tin foil millinery?

I like Bernie's more dovish agenda, but perhaps his greatest positive is being not Hillary.

They discussed this delegate shortage possibility a couple of days ago at the debate. Bernie basically said it wasn't a big deal and they moved on. They both mentioned that when you need a 2500 delegate count, a couple missing here or there doesn't matter. Bernie is quite benevolent in his public treatment of Hillary.

That's cool. I admire a person when they vote third party when there's no chance of winning. Shows loyalty to your party.
Bernie was Independent but had to switch teams to get anywhere.

I'm not so loyal, & my choice isn't so difficult.
In MI (a electoral college winner take all state), the Democrat is virtually guaranteed a win.
So my vote makes no difference.
It's like an opinion poll.
Find someone more deserving of admiration, toots!

Oh, I had all this figured out as soon as you said you were voting Libertarian (except the principled part. I stick with that) . :p

On the eve of the New Hampshire primary, Hillary Clinton’s quest to become the country’s first female president has encountered an unexpected problem: she is having trouble persuading women, young and old, to rally behind her cause.
The latest sign came Sunday, when a new CNN/WMUR survey here showed Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont beating Clinton among women by eight points — which represents a big shift from the results last week in the Iowa caucuses, where Clinton won women by 11 points.

What does it mean if women vote for a man in preference for the woman?
Does the patriarchy force them to do this?
Or is it that women are free to vote for a candidate, & don't limit their choice to their gender?
If Bernie wins because of women voting, is this a sign of their power?
Or is it still patriarchy because they chose a man?
I'm so confused!
