As of this writing, Wednesday Night, there is currently a reclisted diary…



with nearly one thousand comments revolving around frustration with the possibility of a Clinton general election candidacy. And I used my browser’s search feature to see that there was one instance in more than 950 comments of the word ‘phonebank’ and no instances of the word ‘volunteer’.



Sanders supporters, let’s make one thing clear, the Clinton supporters don’t care what you think and nothing you say will ever persuade them to stop denying the reality that the race isn’t over. It’s in their interest to be condescending and dismissive.



Furthermore, it’s not your problem what they think.



If you really want Sanders to have the best possible chance of winning then you should reallocate the time you had budgeted for arguing with people whose only intention is to beat you down/waste your time and look at volunteering activities that directly correlate to increased voter turnout of likely Sanders voters/caucus participants.



If you live in or near any of the states that vote within the next month, canvassers are always in short supply, please spend some ‘shoe leather’ if you can.



If, like me, you live far far away from the action for the foreseeable future, a half hour of getting familiar with the phone-banking process and a few hours this week and next week can make a tangible difference.



I get it, I have understood the desire to not let any of their arguments go unchallenged, but yesterday woke me up to the fact that I’m staying in my comfort zone and expecting others to fight my battles for me, and I am changing priorities. I strongly urge anyone reading this to consider doing the same.
