Just off the phone with the DNC...

Very nice woman, mentioned that there was an opportunity for me to take advantage of a donation matching program.

That's really nice, I told her, but I plan to donate directly to Sanders, and that I wasn't happy with the DNC's favoritism toward the frontrunner this early in the process, mentioning the limited schedule of debates.

I have no idea if she noted my response, it was not solicited.

Now what a shame, because I might have been inclined to make a small donation, that would have been doubled, if not for the reasons I cited.

I just wanted to share that.

In fact I trashcan all DNC emails that come to me. They do not reflect my views.

I will do that. The initials DWS are like fingernails on a blackboard to me when I see them in my inbox.

directly to Bernie and to please take me off their list.

Got a survey from them two days ago, threw it out because it was pointless. I imagine there will be some sort of announcement that uses what I consider slanted survey question results.
The thing that struck me was the vast gulf between those "Democratic Platform Planks" and what some of the DINOs actually do. I am supposed to believe they stand for that platform - but if I express the desire for anything on there to actually be done - those planks are glitter-pooping ponies and rainbows. Quite the dissonance.

I always tell them I donate to specific candidates instead.
