Just got an email from Democracy for America, after voting in their online poll.

[djean111]

I voted for Bernie. They asked me to reconsider and vote for Hillary.
To hell with them. Unsubscribed and told them why. I will not support war and Wall Street and the Third Way.
What a cheesy way to do things, trolling for Bernie's supporters. Ugh.

edited to add - the email was from Hillary and Dean, under the DFA logo. Messages from Hillary and from Dean.
No sale, just made me unsubscribe.

1. Weird. I didn't. Maybe it's dependent on your ZIP?

[Bryce Butler]

2. From the email I received...

"This week, DFA members will be receiving messages from all three candidates -- Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders -- with each making the case for why they deserve your vote. To level the playing field between the candidates, we're randomizing the daily order in which DFA members receive these emails and sending each candidate's message to an equal number of recipients."

4. I sincerely doubt I would have gotten that email if I had voted for Hillary. n/t

[leftcoastmountains]

19. Not true. Even though my brother voted for Bernie

he received a letter from Bernie. He too was confused. Asked if he needed to
vote twice. I told him he would receive one from the Hillary campaign and the
O'Malley campaign.

3. Manipulation at the cost of democracy, it's what the HRC Campaign does best

The ethical superiority of Bernie Sanders campaign is so obvious.

Given the overt effort by the corporate elite to stifle his popularity, I wonder if there are any thoughtful supporters of the Clinton Campaign that would reconsider their support?

Then I saw this. Nina Turner changes her mind on Hillary Clinton, endorses Bernie Sanders for president, and I realized that there are.

5. All Bernie Supporters Need to take that POLL

I went to web page and didn't see it can you supply link?

[djean111]

6. Here - it is pre-loaded for Hillary, but you can click on Bernie.

9. I just voted to feel the Bern and shared it on facebook.

[winter is coming]

22. Why would it be pre-loaded for any candidate? n/t

[onecaliberal]

7. I took the poll, and got the same email. WTF?

[LiberalArkie]

8. I got the email from O'Malley and I voted for Bernie.

[djean111]

10. I can see the candidates making their pitches, I guess, but the pre-loaded

vote for Hillary link pissed me off. Another poll that means squat, I guess.

[leftcoastmountains]

20. It was not preloaded when I voted.

But I voted early on?

[jeff47]

11. They've been sending out one email a day, from each candidate.

First was the Dean/Clinton letter, then a Sanders letter, today was an O'Malley letter.

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

12. I got the DfA email from Bernie, when I clicked the link Bernie was preselected, but I couldn't vote

This explains what happened:

When I tried to vote for Bernie I got this message:
The change you wanted was rejected.

Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to.

If you are the application owner check the logs for more information.


I just filled in my name, email address and zip code then pressed the vote button and got the above. Is something wrong with the page?

18. Hm sounds like a computer screw up?

I had no problems. I know they were surprised at the number of emails they were receiving.
No doubt it's Bernie people! After all we rule the Internet!

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

21. I tried again from a Hillary/Dean DfA email and got the same thing.

This time the vote was preset on Hillary and I changed it to Bernie. The page was different. On the page from Bernies email the line up was horizontal, on the Hillary/Dean page it was a vertical lineup, Bernie to the left slightly out of line.

[LiberalElite]

13. me too

Fcuk them. We can see how Democratic they really are.

[swilton]

14. Second time I've heard this story

I voted yesterday and got no email.....Analysis continues as they used to say in military intelligence.

[leftcoastmountains]

17. You will get one. It took a couple of days.

Just delete them and stay the course!

SAMPLE EMAIL YOU CAN SEND TO YOUR FRIENDS:

Hi,

I just cast my vote for Bernie Sanders in Democracy in America's Democratic presidential primary endorsement poll — do you want to make your voice heard, too?

DFA will only endorse in this presidential primary if there is overwhelming support for one candidate. In order to win, a candidate must reach the super-majority threshold of 67% (two-thirds of votes cast, or 66.67% to be technical about it).

If DFA endorses, they plan to hit the ground running, devoting real resources — people, time and money — to helping the winning candidate capture the nomination.

A lot is riding on this crucial endorsement poll — please cast your vote now, then share it with your like-minded friends and family. DEADLINE: 11:59pm ET on Tuesday, December 15.

Thanks for casting your vote!

Everyone getting different emails?

[leftcoastmountains]

16. They explained all of this when you voted.

I take it you didn't read the entire message. It said we would receive 3 emails. We
could change our vote up until the last day. No big deal. I voted for Bernie (of course)
and I just delete the emails as they come up. My brother did the same thing only his first
email was from Bernie and he already voted for Bernie. He was puzzled and was wondering
if he should vote twice. I guess he didn't read the entire message either. Everybody is freaking
out over this confusion. Stay the course and vote for Bernie!

[Divernan]

25. HRC's was only email co-sent by Dean, I believe.

[winter is coming]

23. Why is DFA endorsing anyone now? They can't wait 'til we have a nominee and then support them? n/t

[Divernan]

24. I also unsubscribed, because email was from Dean as well, not just HRC.

REALLY a push, and damned insulting. I also canceled my registration and told them why. Fuck off, Democracy for America!

[darkangel218]

26. Oh crap!

I didn't know they try to get people to vote differently on polls

Thats not good.

[HerbChestnut]

27. Voted for Bernie

Then got an email from Bernie asking for his vote the same day. The next day I got an email from Martin asking me to vote for him. I guess I'll be expecting an email from Hillary next.

[eridani]

28. Please resubscribe--they specifically said you would get an email from each candidate n/t
