I did 80 houses today, split between two neighborhoods. The second neighborhood was the same one I did a month ago. I have to be honest, the signs (literal signs, in fact-there were a ton of signs out for the competition) compared to last month were not good. The response rate was lower, and of those who did talk, a few were outright belligerent. One guy even said he was "armed and not interested", which a first for me. Normally people politely refuse; this "second amendment person" implicitly threatened me (kind of like his president did to Clinton).

Of course, the majority of people were nice. However, judging by some of the responses I got, the overall lack of participation compared to a little while ago, and the amount of signs for the GOP challenger, I'm concerned. I'm by no means discouraging donating but I have to reiterate that I think volunteering for Hansen (and other local Democrats) is much more important.

I can phone bank, but living in Texas I don't know if there's much more I can do besides that and provide more donations. Happy to be wrong here, though.

Agreed. Plus this is going much better than I anticipated. I'm about as happy as I can be in the wake of the MAGApocalypse.
