1. Kick

[RandySF]

2. I gave money.

[BannonsLiver]

3. So are you saying it's bad for white dudes to participate like this?

I’m just trying to understand your point.

[suegeo]

20. Black women led the way. Of how to fundraise and organize. On a dime.

Black men then followed their lead.

White women next. Coming in last, but not least, is the next demographic, I'm now relieved to see. I had not seen anything before today that suggested men were following the lead of other groups. I didn't see the 8:30 am tweet by Jon Cooper.

There is a gender pay gap that greatly favors white men. I would expect men to give generously. Men come by their money much more easily than minorities/women.

Imitation is a fine form of flattery.

[BannonsLiver]

22. Oh okay

Well it’s great someone is keeping score, I guess. I know that’s very important to some folks. And you don’t sound bitter at all, so that’s great too.

[suegeo]

28. Would it be in bad taste to mention the gender gap in pay.

I'm female, nearing retirement. At this age I wonder, if I were a man, could I have retired a decade ago?

But I'm still working, taking on the microaggressions.

4. I find this keeping score by race

A bit odd.

[Sympthsical]

12. Oh yeah, voters who aren't already on our team love it

Just ask them. They cannot wait for 100 days of this.

[edisdead]

34. me too.

plainly I actually don’t like it at all.

I reqlly do not understand the 4 different calls. That doesn’t sit well.

[Johnny2X2X]

5. I'll be there.

[Docreed2003]

8. I'll be on as well Johnny!

Not sure why some folks are acting snarky about this

[miss-nasty]

27. Me too...

I have it set in my calendar to msg as a reminder to join. It’s too damn bad we have division happening right here amongst us.

[Funtatlaguy]

19. I will be there.

[Doodley]

21. As a white guy, I wouldn't be seen in that cap if you paid me $1000.

[MineralMan]

6. See this:

Sounds like you've already decided, but haven't checked.

[suegeo]

13. Thank you. I'm relieved that white men have caught up to other demographics.

I had not seen this post from a few hours ago. Sincerely, thank you for sharing it with me and DU.

I don't know what "you've already decided" means. I am female. White. I'm not trying to be obtuse.

Voting patterns, white men tend to vote Republican, makes a mess.

[MineralMan]

25. Well, I'm a white man, 79 years of age.

I have always voted for and campaigned for Democrats. Since 1960, when I was 15 years old and campaigning for JFK.

I know many other men who do, and have done, the same. We don't "tend to vote Republican." Both white men and white women vote for both Democrats and Republicans. But this is Democratic Underground, and you'll find that most white men here are reliable Democratic voters. To assume otherwise is a mistake.

That's what I mean about having already decided. Jumping to conclusions about generalities is very often a mistake.

[DeepWinter]

7. Ignoring

the passive-aggressive mildly insulting post

I volunteer locally and donate regularly. Planning on seeing how things pan out and where $$ is needed the most. So I'll "coast", thanks.
Not sure if I'm white or not. Pretty mixed, depends who you ask. I don't think of myself one way or another.

[Doodley]

17. Agreed! We are all one group of Democrats and don't need division.

[Autumn]

9. FYI the organizer for that event is Shannon Watts,

You should suggest that to her.

10. People who want me to donate can use my name

I spent my life being shoved into the "gay" box, whether I was ok with it or not, whether the people were well-meaning or not.

I do not answer to other people's boxes for me. It's demeaning, separating, segregationist. I know some people revel in this sort of thing. I do not.

If you want a favor, particularly money, come correct.

I think I have a right to request how I'd like people to address me. And "Dear Whitedudebro" ain't about to be it.

[Doodley]

15. Agreed. This is very distasteful.

[onecaliberal]

11. Mr onecaliberal will be on and ready to donate:

[Doodley]

14. I didn't know white men of DU were supposed to form a group with other white men.

Sorry, but I'm not into segregation.

[Iris]

16. The promotion clearly indicates all are welcome

as did the white women's group

[Doodley]

18. I must have missed that in the OP.

[BannonsLiver]

24. The Op was apparently under the delusion white men would be at the vanguard of Harris' support after her announcement.

Which makes zero point zero fucking sense.

[TheProle]

23. Divisive.

[liberalmuse]

26. White men did have a call.

500 showed up which is not impressive, but kudos to the men on that call. I think they’re having a “White Dudes for Kamala”. We’ll see how that goes.

[Think. Again.]

29. Oh, it'll go alright...

[liberalmuse]

30. Yay!

Darn good to see.

[Think. Again.]

33. And just for those who have "concerns"...

Anyone can join AND donate on Monday night!

See ya there!

[edisdead]

38. yes anyone can join

but the name and advertisement for it is the point.

I don’t care for these 4 different events where we invite this group, then that group, then another group, then yet another group.


Frankly it plays right into the hands if republicans accusing democrats of using labels.

If you needed to separate because of zoom call limitations then they should have just had 4 different calls. The name of “white women, black women, etc etc etc” is an ugly look.

[Coexist]

31. might want to add this info to the OP?

so people can go!

[Beastly Boy]

32. I am considering joining "Harris supporters for Harris".

I hear they are good with organizing support for Harris no matter where it comes from.

But I am debating redundancy issues that may arise in making my decision.

[brooklynite]

35. Wouldn't know;I maxed out last year...

[Patton French]

36. Well, since you've already counted me out...

[boston bean]

37. All these bruised feelings on this thread. LOL.

[edisdead]

39. I think it is a misstep the same way deplorables was.
