(Hillary Clinton Group) Want to do something positive and fun to support Hillary Clinton?

[Skinner]

Hello, DU Hillary Clinton Group.

EarlG and I wanted to do something positive and fun to support Hillary's campaign for president, and after much consideration we decided to to this:



HillaryMojo is a little project we started a few weeks back. We've spent the last few weeks fine-tuning and posting stuff, trying to figure out the overall tone and substance of the site.

The focus, above everything else, is to be fun and positive. To provide a place where Hillary Clinton supporters feel welcome, and feel good about supporting Hillary for president. We poke fun at Republicans from time-to-time, but we have no interest in attacking our fellow Democrats. I have always been a proud Democrat, I like all of our presidential candidates, and I want the site to reflect that.

If you think this is a worthy project, we'd like you to join us. We think the time has come to let people know about the site so we can share our enthusiasm for Hillary.

For now, we are still learning how the software works (it's WordPress). We need people to start joining up and posting comments so we can figure out how the software works, and also get some feedback about what kinds of posts people respond to. For now, we have the software set up so that EVERY COMMENT NEEDS ADMIN APPROVAL before it gets posted to the site. We want all the comments on the site to be consistent with the site's goal of fun and positivity, and we're not going to pass anything through that falls short of that ideal. Negative comments about Democrats, and even overly harsh comments about Republicans are not going to be permitted.

We are putting a big focus on social media. We are trying to create content that is fun and shareable, so if you find something you like on HillaryMojo you can help us out by sharing it with your friends.

You can also help out by following HillaryMojo on social media:

We think this could be a really exciting opportunity to do something fun and positive to support Hillary Clinton. I hope you will stop by the site from time-to-time and join us:

Thank you so much skinner.

[misterhighwasted]

2. Thank You. This will be a blast..

Can't wait to be a part of your genius plan!
Very Cool.

[Tarheel_Dem]

3. Skinner you "NAILED IT"!

[misterhighwasted]

4. I am totally enjoying hillarymojo.com

Love thisl!
So much appreciated!

[Tarheel_Dem]

8. I'm having a ball. I think Hillarymojo might help me lighten up, and let some of the insults at DU

wash over me.

[misterhighwasted]

24. I feel the same. Coolest thing ever. Forwarding to all

..my Hillary friends. AND there are plenty of them who also know someone.
Have sent theis on to our local HRC campaign group here in Tx.
The Ready for Hillary Team will be so proud of this effort.
Thank you, Thank you.
yaaa

[hrmjustin]

15. Love it.

[OKNancy]

5. How wonderful... bookmarking every one of the sites!!

[rock]

6. "Larry Flint: “Clinton Doesn’t Need My Endorsement And Probably Doesn’t Want It.”

Nonsense. Larry is an ICON of free speech. If you can support this bastard in what he has to print, then you truly understand the underlying concept.

PS. I love the MOJO! Though I'm still absorbing it!

[giftedgirl77]

7. Just got done browsing it...

Definitely bookmarking, thanks Skinner.

[shenmue]

9. Ye-es!

[sufrommich]

10. Great site and great idea. I look foward to posting on it. nt

[onehandle]

11. Outstanding.

Unsurprisingly, I fully approve of Admin approval.

[sufrommich]

12. I keep getting this:

"Error establishing a database connection"

When I try to open any of the sub categories on the front page.

[hrmjustin]

13. I was as well but it is working now.

[sufrommich]

14. I'll check back,thanks. nt

[misterhighwasted]

25. Keep trying as it is still a work in progress.

So freakin cool.

[sufrommich]

16. Signed up,logged in and tweeted some of the great stuff there.

It's a beautiful site.Congratulations.

[MADem]

17. Well, I got one thing to say about THAT!!!

I'm getting tired of the carping and ugliness on the main pages, here. It will be nice to have a place that's free of some of that bitterness and visceral anger.

[misterhighwasted]

26. I don't want to be part of that either. BUT I REALLY LIKE THIS!!!

Very happy today.
Thanks guys

^H^R^C

2016 Madam President

[Laurian]

18. I love this!

Some lighthearted humor and positive material is sorely needed if we are going to make it through this long, long election cycle. I've bookmarked this as a favorite so it's readily available for daily perusal.

Thanks!

[sulphurdunn]

19. No thanks

Thank you

[lamp_shade]

36. Big fat rec.

[DCBob]

37. Why not post this in GD?

It would be fun to see the responses.

[hrmjustin]

38. lol you can just piture the responses.

[lamp_shade]

41. Good so far...

[hrmjustin]

43. Here yes but gd might not get the same response.

[lamp_shade]

45. So far so good...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026742646

[hrmjustin]

46. Glad to see that.

[lamp_shade]

39. I did.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026742646

[DCBob]

40. Excellent!

[freshwest]

57. Oh, thanks for doing that. I was asking permission below. I guess it's Okay. n/t

[lamp_shade]

86. ...

A.M. nudge.

[Cha]

42. Wow, Skinner! It's really nice to see something Positive like this. I don't even have a

candidate yet but I'm really turned off by all the negative crap coming from rw sources about Hillary on your Board!

This is what you've been up to and exactly what was needed.. Mahalo!


Fortune is running a series of profiles of the top women on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign. The series began yesterday with a profile of Mandy Grunwald.

The series continues today with a profile of Karen Finney.

http://www.hillarymojo.com/2015/05/27/fortune-profiles-karen-finney/



I It!

[hrmjustin]

49. I lovve it.

[Spazito]

54. I was just reading about Karen Finney on the new site and WOW!

I have always liked her when she appeared on MSNBC, I had no idea of her amazing family history, truly amazing history coupled with her experience working for Democrats. Impressive!

[Cha]

56. I had no idea, either, Spazito.. I've never seen her on TV and had no idea what she looked like..

Just thought of her as an Irish lass.

[DCBob]

44. This is great. We need more cool stuff like this to support her.

Like we did for candidate Obama. There were videos, songs, posters, all kinds of stuff. It all helps the cause.

[leftofcool]

47. Awesome idea! I'm in

[brooklynite]

48. Is there a way to submit material to you?

I'm able to get a fair number of nuggets from contacts at the campaign.

[Skinner]

52. You could email it here

[e-mail]

[hrmjustin]

53. Thanks.and i posted one of your articles here.

http://election.democraticunderground.com/11077345

[zappaman]

50. Nice site!

[hrmjustin]

51. kicking.

[freshwest]

55. What a beautiful site! And so many venues! May we post some of it at DU? TIA. n/t

[KMOD]

59. Thank you.

I love it! I have made it my homepage.

[freshwest]

60. I just posted one of the entries (Bernie Sanders) in V&MM and GD.

Hadn't seen that video - and it's full speech in VT) posted here at DU.

The Hillary Mojo site is moving along fast, as far as I can see.

Looks like the Admins were paying attention to what was going on and decided to take the high road.

That's what we need to do here if we want to keep the White House in 2016!

Have a good evening, KMOD!

[Sancho]

61. Excellent...

[NBachers]

62. I signed up- waiting for my email. Glad to see Amanda Renteria's in the campaign.

I supported her campaign here in California, and made several posts about her on DU. She's destined for a high position in Hillary's administration, and she'll be a Democratic star.

Thanks for Hillary Mojo, Skinner! I hope it will be monitored by the admins and the members to keep it a nice place.

When the soup gets too thick to swim in over here, we've got a welcome respite now.

[Cha]

88. +1

[Cha]

63. I Liked Hillary's MoJo on FB.. how do I register on the MoJo site? :)

[butterfly77]

64. The problem I have is..

an enthusiasm problem,maybe as time goes on I can get some. I have a sneaking feeling that Bill will be a problem somehow.

[workinclasszero]

65. Wow this is awesome!

Got to go check it out now!

[workinclasszero]

66. Great site!

I'll be sending the link to friends on Facebook

It's great to see positive stories about Hillary, I'm real tired of the mud slinging

Hillarymojo is full of win!

[morningfog]

67. Looks like a great site.

You guys sure stay busy with new projects. Best of luck with Hillary Mojo.

[okasha]

68. Feeling a bit dim.

Can't find the sign-up button.

[hrmjustin]

69. here.

http://www.hillarymojo.com/wp-login.php?action=register

[Cha]

71. Thank you, Justin.. I was asking up thread about this.. except when it says "registration complete

check your email.. I have no email from the site yet.

[hrmjustin]

72. Oh. i got it right away.

[Cha]

73. Right... so something is wrong. and, I'm afraid if I try again.. it will say something like..

there's already someone registered by that name. so I feel like I'm in limbo.. what should I do? It's still not there. Thanks.

[hrmjustin]

75. try again and if you can't get it wait till tomorrow to ask skinner.

[Cha]

76. Okay.. sounds good. I already had visions of going to ATA with it. :)

[hrmjustin]

77. i think he would answer in this thread quicker.

When you wake up he might have responded to you.

If not repost this message in this thread and/or send him a pm.

[Cha]

79. OK.. thanks! I think I know what might have happened..

It could have gone to my junk mail but I just thought of it after I deleted it! Oh NO!

I remember back in the old DU.. I was having trouble getting on with my pass word and EarlG just gave me a simple one that was part of my email that I would never forget!

[hrmjustin]

80. it might be a glitch.

I am off to bed my friend.

Rest well.

[Cha]

82. Could be.. sweet dreams, kiddo.. and thank you for everything.

[hrmjustin]

83. my pleasure.

[freshwest]

84. Could you also ask him if our DU screenname would suffice? My email's toast. I never go there. n/t

[Cha]

85. Oh, you don't have an email? I just asked him about it in this thread, fresh.. maybe you could ask

him about that here.

[freshwest]

91. I've got an email. That's how I set up into DU. Since then they 'upgraded.' Now I can't use it.

I lost all my other email accounts when they changed them and just have the ISP account. It used to work well, now it takes about 5 minutes of work arounds to read per email, then longer to reply. This stuff is getting to be too much hassle.

[Cha]

103. Wow.. it does sound complicated.. you had a good email and now it's not working so well. Darn!

I'll PM you again.

[Hekate]

70. Woot!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

74. like!!

[gwheezie]

78. great site, thanks

I'll be checking it often. I voted for Hillary in 08 and plan to do it twice more.

[Cha]

81. Hi Skinner.. I didn't receive a password in my email so I tried again and it said someone had

already registered by that name, naturally.. I think it may have gone to my junk mail and I deleted that without looking at it before I thought of it. arrg!

Can you please help me get on with my name? Mahalo

[cbayer]

87. I really like the site, but your images are cropped

It makes it hard to read some of them.

[Skinner]

89. If you click into the actual post, you can see the full images.

[cbayer]

90. I get that, but I like the look of the page and wish I could read

the message on some of the images.

Is there no way to fit the whole image in the box?

Anyway, it's the best work you guys have ever done, imo, and I sincerely hope that it takes off.

[Skinner]

92. It is possible but not worth the effort I think.

They all need to be cropped to the same dimensions, and it would be really time consuming to create multiple images for each post.

[cbayer]

93. Give elad my best. I know he would do it if it could be done.

[William769]

94. Kicking & thanking the heavens!

[OKNancy]

95. I can't find the calendar of events...

I saw it on the site... but now I can't find it. It was/is cool.

[Skinner]

96. Had to remove it.

It was killing the server. Hopefully we can find another one that is a little lighter.

[OKNancy]

97. thanks for the reply

I hope you can find a substitute. It was a handy feature.

[hrmjustin]

98. Yeah it gave me an error message yesterday.

[hrmjustin]

99. Just posted this.

http://election.democraticunderground.com/11077452

[hrmjustin]

100. kick.

[hrmjustin]

101. Ok i am going to pin this.

[nolabear]

102. Thank you SO much! I'd been avoiding DU and now I have a reason to be back.

Fun! Who'd a thunk? 😘

[nirvana555]

104. Excellent, Skinner! A very sincere Thank You :-)

[stevenleser]

105. I spread this far and wide on FB. nt

[Cha]

106. Thanks, Steven!

[BlueMTexpat]

107. Thanks, Skinner & EarlG!

We Dems are SO fortunate to have three excellent candidates (Hillary, Bernie & Martin) to choose from, any one of whom is far better than all of the GOPers - current and future - combined!

I am a staunch Hillary supporter and will continue to be throughout the 2016 primary season.

But I would be proud to support either of the other two fine candidates, should Hillary not win enough primaries to be the Dem candidate.

[Starry Messenger]

108. I'm not sure if my sign-up went through.

I don't see a comment I posted, but I think I did the sign-up process right? Don't know, I haven't used wordpress' function this way, I usually use it for CRM for blogs.

[OKNancy]

109. all comments are moderated

check again this morning to see if it's there.

[Starry Messenger]

110. This was last week, I think?

Oh well. I made a supportive one about Amanda Renteria. I've checked back more than once, and it wasn't published.

[OKNancy]

111. Maybe Skinner will see this thread

and figure it out... hope so

[Starry Messenger]

112. That's what I was thinking. :)

Thank you, OKNancy!

[Skinner]

113. You posted.

Right there: http://www.hillarymojo.com/2015/05/28/fortune-profiles-amanda-renteria/

[Starry Messenger]

114. Thank you!

I couldn't find me!

[OnlyBelieveinScience]

115. Love it. n/t

[DURHAM D]

116. Have you abandoned Mojo? nt

[Skinner]

117. Not sure.

We have been enjoying it very much, but it quickly became clear that we did not have enough time in the day to give it the level of attention it needs, while also running DU.

At this point we think the best way forward is to try to set aside someplace on Democratic Underground where the admins (and other interested DUers) can create something positive and fun. Lord knows this website needs it. We learned a lot from running HillaryMojo for a very short time, and we want to bring some of what we learned back to DU.

Not sure if HillaryMojo is done or just on hiatus. Whatever happens, we simply don't have the resources to do it at the level we had hoped.

[floyd1]

118. Bernie Sanders

An underestimated challenger, Bernie Sanders is approaching from behind. I encourage all Hillary supporters to also check out what Bernie Sanders has to say! Hillary has a long record of flip-flopping depending in what the public sentiment is. Bernie has a sense of authenticity about him. Check him out!

[question everything]

119. You know, this is a group, not a forum

It is for Hillary supporters.

[rock]

120. I discoverd this this in the Bernie Sanders Group

>
>Just accidentally got into the Hillary group
>
>Wow! A large part of the thread was just knocks on Bernie. I have not seen the same thing here
>in this group. Thank you Bernie supporters!
>

So I came over here to see how you guys are doing. You're doing GREAT! I don't see any bad-assing of Bernie. I'm so proud of you. In case you didn't know, I support both major Democratic candidates. Now as far as the Bernie supporters go, I'm just not going to say anything.

[William769]

121. Since this site is no longer being updated I am unpinning it from the top of the Group.
