    Walked 30 miles and knocked 165 doors the day before super Tuesday for this fucking loser. Here’s my receipt

    Imagine ever wasting your time believing in electoralism, I could’ve just gone hiking

        We do door knocking as part of electoral campaigns here in the UK too. It’s called canvassing.

        There will be next to no volunteers doing it for Starmer but we had fucking endless supplies of people that wanted to do it for Corbyn.

            I’ve experienced it exactly once in Denmark. Some nobody succdem candidate knocked on my door and gave me a rose and a flyer. It was a very perplexing experience.

              This is why you should have Enhedslisten Ø sticker on your door. It is a campaign sticker that doubles as international symbol for “do not” (in this case, knock or bother). 10/10 would recommend

      • Yes. It is straight up cult behavior in many ways. Especially if you consider the vague contradictory campaign promises and how all of the libs seem like they were gene spliced in the same lab. Burgerlanders actually believe the nonsense “reduce crime, X culture war issue, cut taxes” line from both sides and, critically, fail to recognize that red team and blue team are on the same side.

      I still think that it was not worthless that you and other people did that, just because it gave some people experience on what it’s like to be a soldier rather than an internet communist

      I did the same, I don’t regret it but I’ve moved past it.

      It got me outside talking to my neighbors, having some really great conversations.

      I even got to meet Ilhan Omar.

      I found out about Chapo from other people on Sander’s Slack page, the bloodthirsty centrist is directly responsible for me being here right now.
