Thanks, Sam! I'm hopeful too, but prediction markets still, distressingly, give Trump a 20% chance of winning it all. I'm sure there are a lot of people in CA who have skills that are in short supply (familiarity with stats, social networks, programming, etc. -- think Nate Silver), and who would want to volunteer on a part-time basis. It's not clear at the moment how they could put these skills to good use, other than by maybe volunteering for the Clinton campaign (which sounds to me like the non-profit equivalent of working for Microsoft). Probably there is room for small, technical non-profits with creative ideas.

- burfog 11y agoSome things are more important than political positioning. Even an incorrect belief that leaders are corrupt will influence culture, making corruption more acceptable to society. Laws can be changed back and forth, and walls can be torn down, but corruption is mighty hard to fix once it has solidly taken root in society.
