Just housed my fourth Clinton campaign staffer...

[brooklynite]

All are what I would describe as millennials. I thought they were fed up with "politics as usual"?

[hrmjustin]

1. You are a treasure to the campaign and DU.

[Liberal_in_LA]

8. agreed

[leftofcool]

52. + a gadzillion.

[cantbeserious]

2. Condolences For Your Sacrifice - Go Bernie Go

eom

[hrmjustin]

4. Would you have said that to him if he was a Sanders supporter?

[dsc]

7. I think Bernie would be ashamed of you

I know if I were a candidate and you were representing me with posts such as yours, I would be ashamed.

[sheshe2]

10. Would Bernie agree with you?

I think not. Crude post.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

20. So, no light playing around aloud? Gotcha. nt

[JaneyVee]

11. Definition of trolling.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

19. Let's all watch and see if you say anything that can be described as the "Definition of trolling" nt

[Quackers]

15. I think people are taking your comment way too serious.

Where I'm from, we call it light ribbing. I expect people to dog Hillary. I expect people to dog Bernie. They are politicians! It comes with the job.

[SoapBox]

18. ^^^Totally this!^^^

Sheesh...people are so hyper sensitive.

[SMC22307]

21. The perpetually micro-aggrieved.

You have to wonder what they're like in real life.

[hrmjustin]

24. I am a nice person for your information.

[SMC22307]

25. Aren't we all.

[hrmjustin]

26. No doubt.

But I am a sweetheart.

[Sheldon Cooper]

42. Speaking of perpetually micro-aggrieved:

Looks like someone got their little feelings hurt by this. Good thing the jury was sensible enough to see through that ridiculous alert.

I think Bernie would be ashamed of you

[SMC22307]

60. LOL @ #7.

Almost a sweep... so close!

[MADem]

30. Cheap shot. No class. Bernie would not endorse your remarks or your attitude. nt

[NCTraveler]

49. I thought your comment was funny.

It was taken too serious by some. To be clear, some kind of have a reason to be a little sensitive.

Two things I saw here last week. 1) One of DU's most prolific posters, always acting as if they are a far leftist, posted on opinion piece critical of Hillary written by none other than Andrew Malcolm. It was blatant ratfucking and no one in their right mind would deny it. The op an numerous other posters cheered Malcolm as if he were brilliant and his words were seriously hurting Hillary. 2) Numerous articles critical of Sanders past votes on gun control was brought about. Some of the posts were by posters who have never cared about gun control threads here before. They must not think people build a noticeable track record here. It was simply a shot at Sanders when they could really care less about the issue in the first place.

Seems some people, myself included, have gotten a little knee jerky. But numerous poor posting tactics have made it possible.

[okaawhatever]

3. Millennial...fantastic. Thanks for the work you're doing. It's much appreciated nt

[Thinkingabout]

5. Thank you, it gives me hope it will not be just old folks supporting Hillary.

[Iliyah]

6. Kick

[Rex]

9. .

[SidDithers]

12. DU rec...nt

[LiberalFighter]

13. Chuck Todd doesn't know what he is talking about.

The beltway pundits want to confuse everyone about the facts. There will be a whole new group of young voters that have voted for the first time. And another group that voted in 2008 and 2012 that won't be able to vote in 2016 because they are dead. The majority of those had views that were extremely outdated.

[joshcryer]

14. Don't all campaigns channel younger people?

I mean, even you said that they don't get a lot of sleep, so they have to be able to work around the clock, organizing and making things happen. And this is not to insult older people, but I think you want people who are super energetic and willing, and that's more likely to come from younger people.

Millennials get enough crap as it is.

[Quackers]

16. I don't support Hillary

But she is lucky to have someone like you willing to work so hard for her. Good job!

[Chicago1980]

17. You may not support Hillary,

but I'm guessing that you think even less of the republicans.

Getting the win by a (D) is more important in the end game.

[NCTraveler]

50. Thumbs up for your comment. nt.

[SunSeeker]

22. Thanks, Brooklynite.

[freshwest]

23. They must have all been warmongering, corporatist, union-hating one percenters, then! Amirite?

Plus:

And good for you:

[druidity33]

37. OT yes, but...

I really have met more war-mongering, corporate-leaning, Union Hating Dems in the past 8 years than i ever would have thought existed. Why is that?

[freshwest]

38. Maybe your queries attract them so they like to talk to you? I don't talk to them, myself. n/t

[druidity33]

56. is that a dig? nt.

[FairWinds]

27. Why house HRC staffers in Brooklyn?

Does that mean she thinks Bernie will give her a run
in the NY primary?

BTW, I housed Obama staff at my house in Ohio in 2008.

And damned sorry I did.

[Cali_Democrat]

31. I believe Hillary's campaign headquarters is in Brooklyn. nt

[freshwest]

33. Yes, it is. I don't understand anyone having a problem with it. It looks kinda boring.

Also, it's on 'Clinton' street, hehe!

[hrmjustin]

44. Her headquarters is in Brooklyn and she will fo just fine in the primary here.

[JaneyVee]

51. Can you expand on why you're sorry you did?

Did they wind up breaking stuff?

[McCamy Taylor]

28. All Your Base R Belong to Clinton. That will be her strength.

[freshwest]

34. LOL! Don't make me post that video! n/t

[Scootaloo]

29. Tends to be the age range of people doing internships

So how does that work, anyway, do you just run like a room-for-a-night thing? Are your doors open to anyone, or is there like a thing hwere you get a call from the campaign saying there's omeone who needs a couch to snooze on?

[Cali_Democrat]

32. You're interested in joining the Hillary campaign?

That's good news.

I wish more people would be like you and really be a part of a Democratic candidate's campaign.

I did quite a bit of work for Obama in 2008 & 2012....I even travelled to Vegas to knock on doors.

What a cool experience it was.

Good luck to you.

[Scootaloo]

35. Afraid not. Just curious about hte process behind it is all

[Cali_Democrat]

45. That's too bad

I would strongly encourage all DUers to join a campaign.

It's a great experience.

[JI7]

36. i haven't participated in either way but i think it's common

sometimes the candidates themselves will also spend a night at someone's home .

i think it might depend on how involved people are . i never stayed over at someone's home but i did go over to do some campaigning and make calls and things and usually they would just contact the nearest campaign office for help or how they can help.

[brooklynite]

39. Point 1 - these are not interns...

...these are senior staff arriving in NYC who haven't arranged housing yet.

Point 2 - this is for free; we're housing them for 2-3 weeks each.

Point 3 - the campaign actually approached us through common political contacts and asked if we could.

Point 4 - we can do better than couches. We have a 4 story house (that's how they made them in NYC) with an extra floor for guests.

[hobbit709]

40. Bragging, or complaining?

[brooklynite]

41. Octually, neither...

Observing that Hillary Clinton has an appeal to the younger demographic, a point that some people don't seem to want to believe.

[LanternWaste]

47. I'd rationalize it as such also...

I'd rationalize it as such also...

[MineralMan]

43. Millennials, like all demographic groups, are not a unified bloc.

It's a mistake to think they are.

[DemocraticWing]

46. As a millennial who worked on a campaign last year...

Including with some people who are now Clinton staffers, thank you. People don't realize how hard it is to find housing when you do political work sometimes: you move to a whole new place, hit the ground running, all the while promised housing contacts for short-term and shorter-term stays. Many traveling political operatives have to either break their leases early or negotiate a very short one (like 6 months) if they can't stay with a supporter.

And if people are confused: yes I support Bernie, but the Clinton people are good Democrats too. We're all better than Republicans.

[NCTraveler]

48. Great job. nt.

[Smarmie Doofus]

53. You equate Clinton w. "politics as usual."?

Funny.

So do I.

[City Lights]

54. Good for you. nt

[Phentex]

58. Did you forget where you were?

^O^I^N^K

[MerryBlooms]

57. That's very kind of you to open your home to strangers.

My stepson works on various campaigns and has appreciated people letting him stay a night when he's been on the road.

[Fumesucker]

59. "Just hosed my fourth Clinton campaign staffer"

That's how I read the title link on GD...
