My fiancé just got a call. It went something like this.

————

Biden campaign: hi I was wondering if we can count on your vote for Biden this election?

Fiancé: honestly I’m really not sure. I’m having a really hard time deciding who I am going to vote for. I might vote third party.

Biden campaign: well have a great night!

Fiancé: umm...you too?

Seriously Lol anybody that has done phone canvassing knows this is the EXACT type of answer you want to hear to follow up on and have a conversation with the person to try to convince them.

Sad.

    It’s not about arguing though. It’s about convincing people to vote for your candidate. She may have been genuinely open to being convinced to vote for Biden and the guy didn’t even try.

        Yeah yeah electoralism etc etc, but if you’re literally spending your time calling strangers to talk to them about the election and you’re not willing to have a simple conversation about it then you’re basically just a pollster and why bother in the first place

          no, i'm pointing out that your wife specifically is probably not very likely to being open to being convinced to vote for biden.

            She legit doesn’t know who to vote for. She was like a prime candidate for this exact sort of call.

              but this guy on the phone is more effective than you are at convincing her of who to vote for?

                I’m not going to tell my wife who to vote for. I’m not even a yankee. I vote NDP, it’s a totally different ball game up here.
