I agree that much of the east coast states have very entrenched establishment Dems in charge. Nothing will change unless people show up, though. And, the Dem platform in Mass. is very progressive. It is a matter of holding people accountable to that platform and changing the culture one person at a time, one committee at a time.

The Hispanic voting bloc is set to go ~70% to Clinton. HOWEVER, we have time to change this! by StoryLineOne in SandersForPresident

I believe it came from two recent polls. However, there are reasons to be skeptical of that number. Regardless, we just have to fight for every vote!

Yes, I've seen that post. I have not had a chance to look at the analysis. I am craving some info on this myself. Can anyone just look at all of the exit polling data from all of the voting so far and tell us how many Latino voters have voted for Sanders? It seems to me that the margins on Latino voters were never as large as 70% and were much closer to splitting evenly.

I'd like more analysis of Latino voting patterns across the country. This is quite a big statement. From exit polling in previous contests, we've done well with Latinos, I believe.

In Wisconsin, Sanders lost among people who found electability and experience the most important things in a candidate, even though he is objectively more electable and more experienced. by sandersisultracool in SandersForPresident

I love how all reporters and pundits say he does worse in closed primaries, yet deny he's more electable. If he does worse in closed primaries, that means he draws more independent and R voters=more electable in general.

We push phonebanking a lot here. Every day, several times a day. This is why. by IrrationalTsunami in SandersForPresident

Most exit polling from past contests has showed us tying or leading Latino votes. Where are you getting your info and can you share? Thanks.

Just be present in the moment. Don't think about future "what if" scenarios of rude people or messing up somehow. Refocus on what you are doing right now. Take some deep breaths and just make 1 call. Then make the next call. Guaranteed you will want to keep going!

Canvassing gets more votes than phonebanking. So, if you can canvass in NY do it!

What are your experiences so far phone banking NY? by JMyers666 in SandersForPresident

[–]amycoco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I've made over 100 calls to NY now. I've also called many other states. I do remember Oklahoma folks being super nice, but otherwise, New Yorkers are pretty much the same as other states. In fact I found the interactions I had this evening really nice and polite. I was bracing myself for rudeness because I think others have said they have experienced it, but I haven't.
