A Well-organized Campaign 

~ Clarissa

I’m not subscribed to Trump’s campaign, obviously, but I am to Hillary’s, and she’s knocking it out of the ballpark on social media and with texting. There are quizzes, interesting factoids on Pence, great videos. This is a well-organized campaign. I wasn’t sure what I knew about Pence (other than that the two people I know in Indiana make choking sounds whenever he is mentioned) but Hillary’s campaign made me very informed very fast. The only thing I’m still missing is a sticker.

  1. I remember you saying something about how you hoped Obama would start talking about the reality of manufacturing jobs (that they’re being automated away.) He does that here, starting somewhere between 21:00 and 21:30.

  2. IIRC, Hillary is using the same folks involved in Obama’s runs, and they’re no slouches when it comes to getting the message out.

    The bottom line is that the Obama campaign’s emphasis on people over capital and use of open-source tools to develop and operate its sophisticated cloud-based infrastructure ended up actually saving the campaign money. As Scott VanDenPlas, lead DevOps for Obama for America put it in an e-mail interview with Ars, “A lesson which we took to heart from 2008 [was that] operational efficiency is an enormous strategic advantage.”

      1. And I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t add that a fixation on whether politicians tell the truth or lie is oedipal stage traumas. Just like triangulation and constant suspicion that symbolic adults (bosses, politicians) are scheming behind one’s backs. The TV show Scandal is one big oedipal trauma reiterated ad nauseam.
