Note for the day:
The first Playing to Win went up last Thursday. Are you guys finding it inspiring to see what everyone is doing? These threads are for you guys, so please speak up about what you want and what works for you.
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE
Let’s try Wednesday and Friday mornings, around 9am, and Sunday afternoons.
In the meantime, people have asked for an easy way to find these threads:
· there’s a link in the hamburger (on mobile)
· there’s a link in the sidebar under Calling All Jackals (on computers & tablets in landscape mode)
· click on the Playing to Win category that shows up just under the byline at the top of the post
· if you’re super lazy worn out from all your work canvassing and calling and texting, click here
I compiled a list of opportunities and resources that you guys shared on last week’s threads, and I’ll continue to do that if that’s useful. The resource page is at the Playing to Win link.
*****
A couple of our jackals requested a regular political “action” thread, which we are calling Playing to Win. We’ll keep this up for as long as there is interest.
The goal is a poll-free, spin-free, prognostication-free, media-free, what’s-wrong-with-the-other-candidate-free-zone – a political thread where the focus is on ACTION: What can be done to help our candidates, and what are we doing to help them, every day?
The hope is that this will help provide inspiration, and encourage action, as an alternative to anger, frustration and despair.
Everyone is free to chime in about what they are doing for their their preferred candidate. What actions are we taking at Balloon Juice, individually or collectively, to help candidates we believe in?
What might you like to do, if you weren’t stuck on not quite knowing how to go from thinking about doing something to actually doing something?
