I went to a 2016 NV caucus with my wife at a nearby elementary school. After an hour of waiting in line, we finally got inside and saw why it was taking so long. The volunteers were signing people in on ipads, and they had no idea how to use them. They were mostly older people and had trouble with the website. My wife and I literally took out our phones, copied the URL, and started signing people in with our personal phones. We processed people 4 to 1 compared to the actual volunteers. It's ridiculous how disorganized it was, and how unprepared the volunteers were. The ensuing chaos at the county and state conventions made me swear I wouldn't do anything with the NV Democratic Party again. I changed my registration and everything. Then came Trump 2.0 and I swallowed my pride and decided I had to do something. My wife and I volunteered to do outreach with the party. We showed up at a coffee shop and nobody was there. Eventually we saw someone who looked like they were volunteering too, and we asked if they were. They said yea and handed us some letters to sign saying like "Vote for Kamala because I am too". Again, really disorganized and disheartening to someone who actually wants to help. Who knows if those letters were even mailed. If this is representative of the Democratic parties in other states, it's no wonder millions of people didn't show up to vote for Kamala. |
