Well, I'm glad to see that democrats care about white males as well! Unless they meant to link to the Washington State Republican Party as an option...

That's a pretty bad checklist. Why are specific races even mentioned? "African American" isn't a reason to volunteer for something. LGBT isn't a reason either. You'd think they would spend some time and drill down into more specific reasons for volunteering.

 

I left them some feedback, telling them how ridiculous the idea of 'Insert Race Here' as a reason to volunteer for a political party is. Hopefully someone fixes this up.

I assume by "interests" they mean which of the Democrats main policies motivates you the most.

 

If your answer is "keeping whitey on top", you're probably not gonna be helping the Democrats

Well, how are the Dems going to attract my vote when they are just supporting people trying to take away some of my pie at my expense?

Hey Rant, have you ever heard of these idiots in Seattle?

When I was waiting at Seatac I saw a cd case on the ground. I was curious to see what someone dropped, and when I picked it up it had a bunch of crap about "US: FROM FREEDOM TO FACISM" and then that web address, so I'm assuming it was left on the ground on purpose for someone to find. CD propaganda, what an age we live in. I of course promptly threw it away.

Yeah, I've seen some of their stuff around. I just keep on keeping on.
