I got mad at all the “don’t vote” meme propaganda, and went to look for how to volunteer with the Biden campaign, and instead I found this.

  • Data Engineer $95k

And so on.

    How much did you dig around that site?

    It took me like 2 minutes to find this

    https://events.democrats.org/

    It’s on the faq page.

    Yes, it should be on the main page or even at the top of the work with us page for those who aren’t looking for a paid job with the campaign.

      Just posted it as a separate post.

      My thinking was that jobs for tech people who want jobs was better than volunteering or phone banking, was why I posted the one as soon as I found it, but they’re both good, yes.

      I have to say I’m a little alarmed by their strategy (what I can see of it from a quick glance over volunteer positions). Phone banking seemed okay 8 years ago but does anyone still even answer their phone? Their social media strategy is Twitter? Guys this is why the Republicans are horrifying but they still keep winning…

        This has been a problem for years. They are still campaigning like it’s the 80s. Hillary would have trounced trump if they had let someone younger than 30 run their campaign.

        We need a grassroots movement of a 3rd party to get some younger leaders in play starting with town councils, county seats, state, etc until we have enough support to get someone in the big chair.

          They literally promoted Trump in the republican primaries because they thought he was a crazy fringe candidate with no chance of winning. These people are clowns. They are not worth your time.

          Like, sure, vote, it’s not going to hurt anything, but I seriously do not understand why “VOTE!!!” is such a big position on an instance called solarpunk.

          Where is the tocktics of Joe? Hate the platform with a passion but it’s what the kids who just became voting age use. He could even start an only fans and drum up some funds.

          Edit: wow I was one day early with this, since they announced it not even 24 hours after I said this.

            There is a local’ish politician that recently made it to the house. He (really his team) post videos of him across my states subs on reddit and likely on toctik, insta, etc. This is what the old guard needs to learn from. This is how you reach the younger voters and get them engaged as well as educate them on how things work.
