They were trying to get me to vote for this Dem running for a state seat, guy’s a chief of staff for some local establishment democrat, usual machine operation.
I explain I’m sick of the democrats, and the volunteer’s response? “Well candidate such and such is actually much more moderate than people make him out to be.” I wryly pointed out that he just said that to a socialist, and at that point I think he realized he couldn’t do anything to pitch his candidate at that point.
My job is to make sure that door-to-door canvassers who are in a different state than I am are not slacking off. I call customers that they have noted as "Canvassed," and I have to just confirm that they talked to the person and that they were polite and whatnot. In calling a few of these customers, I've heard some of them make anti-Harris statements when talking to me directly. Most of them came off as a pro-Trump, conservative boomer type of criticism, though. Despite this, whenever I could, I'd sneak in a line like, "Oh, I don't even agree with this organization's endorsement. I absolutely don't support Harris! This is just my job." or something like that, as thankfully, my phone calls are not recorded, or at least that's what they say! They are a pro-worker NPO that has strongly endorsed Harris, but I have not revealed to anyone that works with me that I absolutely do not agree. I'm currently in the process of seeking a new job, not just because of the values conflict being awkward but because this job isn't the most stable in terms of always having active work.
