Warren Lynch Shitpost General - TRUE and HONEST (former) John Flynt for Congress campaign worker

[W person cow]

Warren I'm proud of you.

I hope you know that you didn't mess up the endorsement process? It wasn't you. It's that nobody wanted to endorse Brianna. It's also the candidate's job to work towards the endorsements. She was making you reach out to people and that was bullshit.

Go work for Massie. His campaign can use you. Emerge is graduating a new class this weekend and I'm sure there are some people who can pay you as poorly as Brianna but at least are doing so honestly. You can do better. I'm glad you're moving on.

And I agree with people that she didn't hate you. She's too self involved to hate anyone. You were useful to her and then you weren't. She decided that things that weren't your fault were your fault because otherwise she'd have to blame herself.

I'm very curious about who you were talking to in Weymouth.

I bet that was you in Weymouth and I just described it badly

I am officially Mad On The Internet now
Even your biggest detractors here will instantly admit that you've been working like a fiend.

Strongly concur. She's an abusive lying bitch.

 

[Norvic]

I would say more loans than buys. The phone travels from staffer to staffer. Imran had it first, then Frank, then me, now my friend.

Oh, I probably know your friend's phone number now.
That was the phone account they got to pretend Natalie O'Brien was a real person with a voicemail box.

 

[W person cow]

Since you're willing to admit now that maybe Brianna has been using you this entire time, and is maybe moving forward her plans to blame you in addition to Gamergate for why her election failed... are you willing to look through https://lolcow.wiki/wiki/Brianna_Wu some of the info? At least for your friends sake... Maybe you two can go through the info together and make your own decisions about whether she's something you want to be involved in?
.

I told you, I already ready that a long time ago, before I discovered Wikifarms. Blah blah blah, Brianna lied to x gamer, she lied to y gamer. She's transgender, she was a mean right winger in her youth, brianna was wrong about x, she was silly about x, blah blah blah.
I don't care about any of that. I care if she exploits the WORKERS or if she's not PROGRESSIVE. Especially when "the workers" is ME.

 

[Jaded Optimist]

Sorry that happened Warren. No one can say you didnt work your ass off. Im glad you and your friend are still cool, that kind of ting could mess up plenty of friendships.

Of course she couldnt even fire you herself, she had your friend do it.

 

[ZKWNordman]

Hey, Warren. For what it’s worth, I think you’re probably a decent guy at the end of the day. I hope you’re not too bummed and that you get on Team Massie.

If Brianna does blame you for her inevitable failure, remember that the Farms knows she’s full of shit.

I don't care about any of that. I care if she exploits the WORKERS or if she's not PROGRESSIVE. Especially when "the workers" is ME.

It happened with revolution 60, and of course it’s happening with the campaign. We care, too

My mistake, I never caught indication that you ever read that. And you're right, she's not progressive and how she treats you is evidence enough.

There's tons on the lolcow wiki and it sounds more like you read her wikipedia page by that description.. There's https://lolcow.wiki/wiki/Brianna_Wu_for_Congress a fairly out-of-date but still accurate portion on just this latest scam (her political run for office). Maybe this would be something to make sure your friend is aware of?

I just see it as... you're fresh out of the Thunderdome and are just starting to process the true nature of what you've been involved in. Why would you allow your friend (who sounds like he is talking to Brianna behind your back and agreed to take over for you before coming to fire you on her behalf, since you know... she can't do anything herself) to go through the same mess?

Fair enough I suppose, but does it really only bother you that she's a shitty person when the shittiness affects you personally? I guess we here are all pretty used to be boggled at the weirdness of Wu in the abstract without it having much effect on our lives in general.

I think Massie is very progressive and I will definitely vote for him, and knock on some doors. But he already has been trying to "hire" me for months, and I am not being his fulltime staffer at the price he offers. Team Massie does not *pay*. Even less than Brianna. Zero is less than everything. I'd love another political job, but need to get paid or I'm just doing camera work for a while until I get out of debt. But thanks for the kind words!

 

[Peace and Harmony]

Okay, now please go back thirty pages ago where everyone and their dog told you exactly this.

 

[AnOminous]

Why is this guy so nice? We've done nothing but treat him like shit, and he's somehow remained completely polite.

This is some kind of a conspiracy.

 

[W person cow]

I wasn't just going to take the word of some anonymous posters on that. Nor was I convinced by the derpy "articles".
I'm still not entirely convinced. And I still think all the trans-outing is low as F.
I just have a lot of doubts now, which keeps me from being a good staffer, so I'm going to do something else.

 

[Yellow Yam Scam]

She fired you and didn't even have the decency to tell you in person or the reason why...come onnnnnnn dude.

I know you're one of those coastal liberals who think that you just have to keep your head down and do what you're told but you gotta realize how shitty that kind of treatment is.

Thank you! I tried really hard! I guess I've learned a lot of patience from meeting so many people campaigning, maybe? And I'm sure I did flip out more than a few times.

No, this is a once willing victim of Brianna Wu. What else would you expect?

Well, however you came to the conclusion you made the right choice. Congratulations.
You deserve better than being Wu's ego prop.

I'm not a god damn liberal lol. Although I am progressive and I agree with liberals on social issues, I do not talk down my nose at the working families like some snobby liberal. Or not on purpose anyway.
Also I am glad my friend told me, because he is nice. That made it easier than being called names or whatever.

 

[Particle Bored]

How did the meeting go?
....
Me: So there's a thing called the lolcow forums, on the internet, and they say a whole bunch of oppo about Brianna
My Berniecrat friend: Yeah but we knew that. Right wingers hate Brianna.
Me: Yes but DSA, Local Berniecrats and Justice Democrats all told me that they weren't endorsing because of the stuff the internet says about Brianna. Those are semi big important groups, especially DSA.
Friend: Why are left wing groups believing right wing smear articles?
Me: Well a guy at DSA told me that the lolcow forums aren't right wing, they're non political and just troll anybody. They're still trolls but not right wing trolls per se
Friend: Well, what are they saying?
Me: They're saying Brianna isn't really progressive, she exploits her workers, she's a big liar, she doesn't care about the 8th or the working families, she despises poor people, and she isn't trying to win, just raise a lot of money so she can go on fancy trips. And that you and me are going to look really bad for being associated with somebody who lies so much.
Friend: Well she does go on a lot of fancy trips. But I got involved because you told me she was progressive. And opponents say every everybody good "lies".
Me: I do think she is more progressive than Chris Voehl or Stephen Lynch regardless of what the trolls say. But I'm pretty frustrated with her not calling people back.
Friend: Yeah me too. She never calls people back.
Me: I mean obviously I'm a very gullible optimistic guy. But I can't figure out if I'm being fooled by Brianna or being fooled by the trolls. Do YOU think she is progressive, or faking it?
Friend: I don't know man. I'm hardly on social media at all. I just know you like her, and my wife says you're trustworthy and cool.
Me: Hey you're cool too! You and your wife are both super positive and fun, and you like Bernie. Whether it turns out Brianna's actually progressive or not, it's great working with you two!
Friend: You too! Wanna go knock on some doors for Bob Massie?
Me: Sure! You should take over most of this campaign. I'm getting really burnt out. They were photoshopping dicks on my face yesterday. I sort of accidentally baited them into it maybe, but this stuff isn't really my cup of tea. I don't mind fighting with trolls over Malden stuff cause it's what I believe in. And I haven't minded doing a ton of stuff for Brianna even though we don't get paid enough, because I care about progressive issues and it's not just about money. But if I'm suddenly not sure she's progressive, that kinda changes everything. I could make way more money just doing camera work. I didn't do this for the money, I did it for the progressiveness.
Friend: Well funny you should say that because Brianna says you're messing up the endorsement negotiations, and she likes having you go to events, but she wants to switch you to contract work where you get paid by the event, and you're off salary.
Me: So I'm suddenly not on call for anything then? I suddenly don't get paid to set *up* events, or to take phone calls from groups interested in endorsing, or set up meetings with my contacts, or any of that? Heck I may as well give my campaign phone back right now then?
Friend: Funny you should say that, because she wanted me to get your phone back today.
Me: OMG really? So 3 months of endorsement phonecalls and building relationships, it was all wasted?
Friend: Yeah but at least you got paid, right?
Me: Yeah massively UNDERpaid! OMG! (stands up. sits back down.) OMG dude I'm about to flip out. I'll meet you in Weymouth in a few hours and we'll talk more.
Friend: I will tell you that nobody I've talked to is mad at you for liking Brianna, or thinks you are a fake progressive.
Me: WELL THAT'S GOOD IF IT'S TRUE BUT IM SO MAD RIGHT NOW! I'LL SEE YOU IN WEYMOUTH! (I storm out all pissed)
***
Later, in Weymouth...
***
Me: Here's the phone back. Yay, Weymouth!
Friend: Yay, Weymouth! By the way, my wife got screwed over by the Weymouth DTC!
Me: Yeah DTCs will F with you. The two best ways to combat that are A) learn Robert's Rules and B) talk to the state committee
Friend: OMG cool, how do we do that? (excited conversation about DTCs that would probably bore you)
Random Weymouth Bernie person: OMG it's Warren Lynch!
Other Weymouth Bernie person: OMG you're Warren Lynch!
Me: Haha OMG, hello. Want to get a selfie?
Weymouth person: Yes! You're famous! I love your maps and lists!
Me: I like lists!
Weymouth person: It's Warren Lynch! Do you live in Weymouth?
Me: No but I lived in Hingham for a while and I took kung fu in Weymouth. And I've been helping Brianna in Weymouth a lot.
Person: Oh yeah, Brianna! Stephen Lynch might be 20 years behind on all the issues, but we can all agree he's evolving if slowly. And he's working class. Brianna's not working class. What do you think of the idea about just talking to Stephen Lynch and helping him evolve, instead of trying to elect someone new?
Me: Well if he gets elected again, that's all we CAN do. But did you know that the service workers' union hates him so much they ran their own candidate against him in 2010?
Person: Really?
Me: Yup! Because he's against raising the minimum wage! Some unions may like that, but the *service workers* sure don't!
Person: Wow. Well I'm going to protest vote for one of the other candidates. But if he does win, want to come lobby his office for progressive issues?
Me: I don't think he likes me very much, but sure!
(other fun conversations that may bore you. maybe this whole thing is boring and I will get in trouble over nothing.)
Me: Okay I better go, see ya!
Friend: Okay see ya! Thanks for coming out and not making this about work!
Me: Are you kidding? It was awesome! Your friends said I was famous!
Weymouth person: You're Berniecrat famous!
Me (to friend): I'd rather be Berniecrat famous than heckler famous.
Friend: I know man, I know. Thanks again.
Me: Sure dude! Whatever happens with Brianna, you're a Bernie guy first, and I'm your friend.
****
So now in addition to heckler famous, I am now Weymouth Berniecrat "famous" lol. So that's heartening. But I do think that Brianna does hate me for some reason. And I just sort of got semi-fired.

“Winner” rating barely beat out by “Feels.”

You understand the difference between political delineations and social ones, right?

 

[Kroster]

Trust me, I didn't take your job on the Wu campaign. lol.

I'm glad you're out. I'm sorry your friend is the mark now. At least he can comiserate with you when Wu turns on him.
