I just got back from canvassing. It was a little rough at first but it got better. Although I'm an incredibly white guy with probably one of the most stereotypically Irish names and I canvassed a black working class neighborhood. Most people were at church or work. I managed to move one old lady from committed to Biden to maybe Bernie. Shits going to work if we volunteer instead of getting blackpilled on a gay dead comedy forum

stephenfry posted:Are Victory Captains trained to ask volunteers "How'd it go?!" at the end of every session or something? Mine asked me and I was feeling a bit down because out of the doors I knocked, all but 3 were not home and 2 of the 3 were having none of it, but the captain said basically that was good and what they'd expect and to come back tomorrow to canvas more.

I can't stress enough how important canvassing is. I have johnson county (the really wealthy suburbs of KC on the KS side) tags on my car. And like I could understand why they would have been suspicious about a white guy walking through their neighborhood at 10 am on a sunday knocking on doors. Even then though, once I got one lady to start discussing medicare for all (my #1 issue) I was able to get her from being definitely biden and dismissive of me to her saying "I might just vote for Sanders" and telling me who else to canvass in the neighborhood. If my suburban white rear end can go into a working class black neighborhood and come out with at least 1 changed mind then anyone can do it. I'm a fuckin dork with a clipboard!
