Anyone notice during elections how willing liberals are to engage in community aid by driving random people to the polls? Imagine if they were that willing to help others with something meaningful.

    Let's get them to doorknock for our Local Politician. Except, instead of handing out brochures, they should bring some fresh fruit and veggies and some shelter info. And instead of talking about Local Politician, they should say that they have extra fruit and veggies for anyone that wants them. And instead of going to peoples doors they can just walk around

      the only problem with this is that the vast majority of liberals don't even doorknock every 2 or 4 years, that's way beyond the pale of normal average voter behavior

      I swear that kind of thing is either paid by campaigns that have the money, or relies on a steady stream of fresh faces who haven't been disillusioned yet. I did it a grand total of twice and I think the people that come out and doorknock for democrats year after year, shift after shift, without seeing any issues with liberalism, are off their rocker

        i once belonged to a 'communist' party who spent a great deal of time doorknocking for democrats. it was miserably depressing for the reasoning you outlined

          I would be so mad if I signed up for communism and ended up knocking on doors for libs. That's worse than those job interviews that are really MLM scams.

            right? to be fully and entirely fair to them they did also have a person or two who were supporting strikes that involved none of their members so they were doing some valuable work, but not being able to participate without spending time lib doorknocking or talking about lib doorknocking was a dealbreaker for me
