2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWas phone banked last night -
First time in the primary cycle. I don't typically ever get phone banked or polled because we all use cells, no house phone.
I answer the phone and a very sweet young lady on the line asks for my 21 year old daughter. She said she was phone banking for Bernie I squeed.
I handed my phone to my daughter and the young lady was thrilled to hear we have 6 for Bernie in household. Including the older farts in the house
Just wanted to share. NC is supposed to go to Hillary, but we're still going to put up a fight.
LOVE the fact that they are calling cell phones!

(22,308 posts)I got 2 calls from them on my cell and at least one on my home phone (which sometimes does not get answered because anyone I want to talk to has my cell number). Also the texts listed in the above link. No mailers or other contact, unless my going to rallies and donating count.
The Clinton camp sent me three mailers. All big high quality and in full color. Well, they wasted that money. No other contact from them. Not even a call (unless it was to my home phone and I didn't answer it).
Everyone from the Sanders camp identified themselves as volunteers. If we assume that they have unlimited calling and texts, their cost to contact me was nominal, if not nonexistent and I did actually turn out and vote for them/him.
From my perspective, it sure looks as if Bernie has the better campaign.
