I "how dare you sir" ed the lackey on the phone and he went right to Trump who admitted defeat and dropped out of the race.

It's like the angry messages I keep leaving for my local Zionist politicians, except even more impotent.

The fuck is their 800 number is for? I do like the idea of some kid who took the job months ago taking calls for donations(?) and then one afternoon is appalled to learn about how their innocuous sounding employer is trying to do christo-fascism Handmaid's Tale IRL because some lib called and yelled at them. More likely they just didn't want to get dinged on the post call survey so feigned ignorance though.

Donation, Membership, Feedback, and Mail Related Inquiries

Non-profit orgs will run contact centers (or contract them out) to manage donations and memberships. The people working their phones and emails probably don't give a fuck and are waiting until they get their scheduled break to get off the phone.

Yeah that's 100% just sent to a call center handling hundreds of these front groups.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

the idea of some kid

My wild assumption is nearly every single person who works for the foundation knows why it exists, what it stands for, and what it does. And libs calling up and lecturing the phone guy won't give them a come to Jesus moment. It'll just make the phone guy hate "the left" even more.

I kind of doubt the kid answering the phones even works directly for the Heritage Foundation. More than likely it's a call center with staff that's fed scripts for various organizations. I doubt the call center workers have ever even met someone from the Heritage Foundation.

There was a video of some black teenager passing out leaflets for some republican candidate in an upscale suburb. He started recording after a cop pulled up and harassed him and said he looked suspicious and that residents were reporting him

The comments were filled with libs, presumably white, who were gleeful because “this is what you get for thinking the GOP helps black people!” Dude was just a kid working a lousy gig in the sun and based on his tone, did not know or give a shit about who Senator Sleve McDichael (R) of District 72 is.

Countdown to replacing the human operators with chatbots.

"wow that's what we are doing? You're telling me this for the first time. Wow. This has given me a lot to think about, thank you ma'am. Have a nice day."
This script works wonders glad the lich king printed it out for us

I was going to make the following its own post and although it's pathetic it's more tedious than funny.

The dominant narrative on Twitter right now is that Dems are cowards for not coming out against Biden. but even if you think he should step aside, the calculus is tricky. if you call him out and he stays, all you’ve really done is hurt the party’s chances. not an easy call.

It is classic shitlib though.

Look, we know you guys too far too the left and/or naïve about politics don't like Biden. We get it. But ya gotta think about the consequences of your actions! You could damage the party's chances!

Also - he gets points for avoiding the word old and using the word calculus.

---

Edit

I guess the lib consensus is going to be...

Look, Biden isn't the youngest guy on the block. We get it. But we have moved on. We need to focus on beating Trump and nothing else.

i am sincerely thinking about the right combination of terms i need to use to avoid biden old and replace biden discourse, we have been on this for too many days and the whole thing is legitimately irritating and i don’t want to talk about it anymore at all, with anyone, even everyone i like.

Guys I just heard back from the dang cheeto himself, he’s officially dropped out of the race and proclaimed Biden God Emperor of the universe

I'm sure the minimum wage workers at the phones at a random call center assigned to the heritage foundation just love dealing with these angry impotent liberals who are jerking themselves off over how moral harassing someone completely powerless over the phone is.

[-] axont@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

this reminds me of when that HeGetsUs evangelical campaign had to suspend their chat/call thing because their operators kept saying wildly racist and homophobic things in casual conversations

[-] GladimirLenin@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago
