General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Fuck That! I'm Fighting. [View all]Why do you think all his volunteers are from liberal strongholds? Do you think people are only getting crushed in liberal strongholds? People are fed up with the way our government is going all over the country. They're fed up of being left behind and left out everywhere.
To give an example, I live in Southern Illinois. It usually votes around 55% Republican, 45% Democrat. I'd hardly call that a liberal stronghold. People of all walks of life in this area feel like our government is corrupt and out of their control, whether they're Democrat, Republican, Independent, or Third Party. And Bernie's ideas have resonated with the people I've talked to, regardless of party affiliation.
And if you think computer support and telephone support are costly then you need to find some good IT specialists to help you out. Those costs are trivial when you do it in house. And that's assuming volunteers don't use their own cell phones, which is how a lot of phone banks work now.
