Date: 2015-09-18 01:30 am (UTC)The bunching up of #2-4 is interesting - it was very close.
Turnout was pathetic, as expected - but it seems even worse than it should have been. It is roughly 14.5%. In 2013 Ward 1 saw roughly 25% in their preliminary.

Date: 2015-09-18 01:52 pm (UTC)There were indeed a lot of whispers about Charles being a pedophile and someone literally went up to me and told me "Charles needs to ditch his line of twinks". Ron Newman seems to have a big bone to pick with Charles and he hasn't hid it very well. I never assertively accused him of spreading the rumors (I think I said you are probably the same person), but if it was implied I'm sorry. I was very upset at the time.
BUT calling me crazy (as many have in another thread) because of a few heated posts on a forum that I posted after I was angry because of the ripping down of many campaign invitations (by what could be Lance Davis's crew) is just really horrible. You don't know anything about me.
You've all reminded me about why most people my age don't vote.

Date: 2015-09-18 02:02 pm (UTC)I agree that it's a huge leap to state that Charles' stance -- which he clarified well -- on the Sanctuary City proposals in the 80s is tantamount to racism and xenophobia.
By no means do I think you are "crazy", but I think a lot of people here seemed taken aback by the anonymous anti-Lance leaflets they received. You clearly have a lot of passion for your candidate, and I applaud that. I think the reason a lot of people in their 20s don't vote is a lack of passion and a feeling of uninvolvement. I hope you'll stay involved.

That was a rookie mistake by me with my first foray into politics. We meant to put Charles' name at the end but ran out of room (we did the pamphlet last minute the night before-- we were supposed to just do the hangers). We assumed that people would realize it was from Charles, because it was right near his hanger. And we put out a direct mailing that said almost the same thing as the yellow fliers.
People with Lance Davis signs were not supposed to get anything (not the yellow pieces or the hangers), but some of the people passing out fliers obviously didn't listen to my instructions.

Date: 2015-09-18 02:35 pm (UTC)Speaking of homework, go look at the particulars of the play-to-pay ordinance and figure out how that differs from everyday campaign contributions. There are nuances there. I'm not even going to touch your notion of unemployed people throwing money away.

Date: 2015-09-19 02:15 am (UTC)Professionals, tradespeople, business owners, parents, grandparents - mature grown-ups - these are the people who volunteer for Lance. The chance that any of these folks did something so childish as ripping down those signs is about as likely as Lance actually being a Welsh rapper.
Congratulations to Lance and Liz and kudos to Ron Newman for all his DSLJ efforts! If you see him at SomerStreets on Sunday, buy the man a lemonade!
