2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumYesterday I went to the NU vs BYU game in Lincoln, NE a 1 hour drive 1 way
Three blocks from the stadium on a crowded sidewalk with the temp in the 90's, a nice young man was handing these flyers out.
It came from here: http://www.peopleforbernie.com/

(22,308 posts)Sorry about the heartbreaking loss, but it sure was fun to watch on TV way out here in Detroit (since I really didn't care who won).
And, uh... oh yes.. FEEL THE BERN!

Volunteering for political candidates gets sticky for me, because I work for a newspaper. But my activist son would love this.

Doesn't matter. It's the unadorned truth. Only an idiot or someone who's invested in the plutocracy would not respond positively to this flyer.
I would happily make a bunch of these on my own little printer and spread them around. And so would about half a million other folks who have no problem sharing simple truths.
Pushing convoluted and focus-tested talking points, now that's another story.

(3,233 posts)We have a precedent, too: The Birmingham bus boycott was launched by a group of women who crafted and distributed fliers to their neighbors.
We know how that turned out.

(31,392 posts)when full, Memorial Stadium holds more people than any Nebraska city except Omaha and Lincoln.
That young man may have handed out a LOT of flyers.
Good for him!

(50,983 posts)I was sorry to see Nebraska lose on the Hail Mary pass. That was one hard fought game.
I always pull for the other B1G teams unless they're playing the Buckeyes. We had a rough weekend except for the incredible Northwestern Wildcats.
