I'd like to make a public apology to Segami.

[sufrommich]

Apparently this was a real email from the Clinton campaign:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=927997


I accused him/ her of posting a lie from Kos:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251928945


I was wrong,I posted in haste and overblown anger and for that I am truly sorry.

[Krytan11c]

1. Very classy of you to admit this sufrommich

As a Bernie supporter I applaud you

[fleur-de-lisa]

2. Wow!

[still_one]

3. That may be. Why is it self-deleted from the link you provided?

[sufrommich]

4. He probably doesn't get email from the Clinton campaign and was

concerned that I was right. I wasn't.

[still_one]

8. Yeah it looks that way, here is a story about it from the ibtimes

[emulatorloo]

5. Well done, sufrommich..

[The Boss]

6. I'm sure a small contribution to Bernie's campaign will be your repentance

will suffice in Segami's name.

[Krytan11c]

7. Or this OP is more than enough.

The poster made a mistake and owned up to it.

[The Boss]

31. I said a small contribution. Just throw $5 towards Bernie.

It's not going to kill her. But fine, whatever. I consider the matter piffle and closed.

[Wilms]

9. That's awesome of you.

[demmiblue]

10. Kudos to you, su!

I'm sure Segami will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

[Scootaloo]

11. You will be correcting / deleting your prior post, I suppose?

[sufrommich]

14. I corrected my OP.Deleting it would defeat the purpose

of the apology.

[Bjornsdotter]

12. I got the same email...

....kudos on your apology.

[yallerdawg]

13. You were WRONG?

I still have never had an email from Hillary like that!

Team Bernie: Hillary said "We could lose the nomination" after 3rd debate.
Post by Aaron Mc

Down thread:

LOL. The way you repurposed that junk e-mail is hilarious.

Thank you for “getting it”

This was junk email I wanted to make a little joke for Team Bernie to read with the morning coffee. It’s just another moneymail that had a strange line in it I wanted you guys to see. I made me laugh, I can see it made other people angry. Let’s just all get along.

And now we have a viral internet meme...

[sufrommich]

15. I never got it either but I've now heard from two

DU Clinton supporters who have.

[yallerdawg]

18. Aaron Mc admits "repurposing" a junk email.

Since I have never seen an email or an admission of anything like that like from hillaryclinton.com, call me skeptical.

Down thread Aaron Mc repeats he did it for the Bernie Team for an AM coffee laugh. But it is Daily Kos, so who knows who else might pick it up?

And who knows what the original email was and from what organization?

[sufrommich]

19. Someone pm'd me the exact wording of the email and

it was a pm from someone I trust implicitly:



Mine says 'other candidates.' Here is the exact wording copied from the email:

I don't know how else to say it except by saying it: We could lose the nomination, xxxxx.

The other candidates on that stage last night would like nothing more than for our team to sit back and relax right now, but I am not taking anything for granted.

You can't either, I need your help.

Let's show the world that we're going to fight hard, secure the Democratic nomination, and go on to the White House. I know you'll step up when I need you. Chip in $5 today:

[yallerdawg]

20. There is a strange inconsistency here.

If you want to stick with your apology, I guess you have a reason.

The only screenshot of the email I have seen anywhere is an admitted fraud.

[DURHAM D]

28. Yes, this is strange as he admitted

it was a fraud.

[tblue37]

27. To "repurpose" means to use for another purpose, not necessarily to make

changes, though making changes *might* be part of the repurposing.

[artislife]

16. This is what I wrote in the other thread about why people get different emails

I do back office in a software called Infusion Soft
They have what they call campaigns and tags. It is a huge software that Hillary should be using or is using one that is very similar.

If a member does one thing, like sign up for monthly donations, they get tagged and sent through a particular campaign.

If they just open the emails, but don't do anything, they are tagged and put into another campaign. There are multitudes of campaigns.They are scheduled out. If you do a desired action, it can then put you into another campaign. It is an automation and CRM and shopping cart all in one.

So I would suspect that you are in the We Have Her/his Vote and Money campaign. This other person, is probably in the How Do We Convert This into a Donation campaign.

Well done, with your apology. When we (I)are (am) passionate, sometimes we (I) jump a little too quickly too.

[sufrommich]

17. That's interesting. I didn't know that.nt

[ejbr]

21. Respect n/t

[onehandle]

22. My guess is that it's a marketing thing. Some Democrats got that one, others got a different email.

The point being is that those at DU saying 'LOOK LOOK! HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN IS LOSING' are wrong.

[Indepatriot]

23. Well done, and THANK YOU.

[George II]

24. Nice job owning up to an error, thanks. For the record, all campaigns send out similar emails....

....to raise funds.

Here's the Clinton email for anyone who wonders, followed by a similar email from the Sanders campaign:

I don't know how else to say it except by saying it: We could lose the nomination, XXXXXX.

The other candidates on that stage last night would like nothing more than for our team to sit back and relax right now, but I am not taking anything for granted.

You can't either, I need your help.

Let's show the world that we're going to fight hard, secure the Democratic nomination, and go on to the White House. I know you'll step up when I need you. Chip in $8 today:

And here's one I received on Friday from the Sanders Campaign:

XXXXX --

Wow, I'm almost speechless. We've never seen anything like the reaction to Thursday's big news that 87.9% of Democracy for America members overwhelmingly voted to endorse Bernie Sanders.

From the New York Times and Washington Post to MSNBC and USA Today, this people-powered DFA endorsement -- on the same day as a huge endorsement for Bernie from the Communications Workers of America and a record-breaking 2 million total contributions to the campaign -- shook up the presidential race.

The next big moment in Bernie's campaign will take place in less than 48 hours.

On Saturday night, Bernie will face off against Hillary Clinton and Martin O'Malley in the last Democratic presidential debate of 2015 -- airing on ABC. This is a critical opportunity to build momentum and rally progressives behind Bernie's message of taking on the millionaires and the billionaires to rebuild the middle class.

Will you join the political revolution -- and help build momentum for Bernie's unprecedented campaign today? Chip in $3 or more to Bernie and DFA so we can ramp up our campaign the minute Saturday's debate ends. DEADLINE: Saturday, 11:59pm PT

As Charles Chamberlain discusses below, voters will be going to the polls in just a few weeks. We have no time to lose. If you haven't read this important message to DFA members from Charles, please take a few minutes to read it now.

Thank you for your support for Bernie and DFA at this critical moment in the campaign.

- Jim

25. Thank you sufrommich...

I very much appreciate your kind words.

Its all good......


I was out for dinner and just read your post......thanks again!

[PatrickforO]

26. I remember that post from Segami.

Interesting that was a REAL email. Wow. Must only have gone to the hard core Clinton donors. Don't want that one getting TOO wide an audience...

By the way, good apology. Good that you're big enough to admit being wrong. A trait we can all emulate.

[MissDeeds]

29. Thank you n/m

[Dont call me Shirley]

30. It takes a lot of real courage to apologize, sufrommich, you rock...
