    This is my belief too. Votes aren't moving and haven't in a while.   Get your team to the polls.

    I can’t imagine caring about the economy, looking at those 3 bar graphs and saying eh, I’ll take those odds.

    They don't believe it. Anything that contradicts what dear leader says is just ignored as "fake news"

    Fox News interview on Wednesday. Good. 

    Get her out there. Everywhere. Flood the zone. Get more aggressive.

    It's all about GOTV. Harris campaign is switching to turnout from persuasion, I believe. That makes for much nicer convos.

    PLEASE do a canvass if you're in or near a swing state.

    What's knocking on doors like? People ever argue with you?
    There's a few categories.
    1. Your people. They're supporting Kamala and they are happy you knocked. Yay! For turnout canvassing, this will be a lot of them.
    2. The refusers. They don't answer the door, being obviously at home, or they do and make up a reason why they're busy and can't talk. They probably expect to be asked for money, which they aren't. This is pretty common too.
    3. "I'm not telling" - I'd say these are Trumpers who think they can't tell you for some reason. They'd be better off, since you mark them as a Trump voter and they get left alone after that.
    4. "Get off my lawn" - Couple times I got "do you have a permit for this" or "did I invite you on my property"? Political canvassing is protected under Pennsylvania election law. We aren't selling anything or asking for money. Just say thank you and keep going.
    5. "I'm voting for Trump but I appreciate you" - some of the Trumpers are still glad about people being involved.
    6. Real MAGA's - they are generally filtered out but you might be looking for the 22 year old kid and you get the dad. Honestly they have trouble being mean to someone in person, especially because you are so friendly and good-looking! But if I happen across a house on my list with Trump signs up I pretty much just skip it.
    And probably once or twice each turf you get someone who actually is undecided, or wasn't planning on voting. One time I got a mom - her son was voting age but had an intellectual disability - she didn't think he could vote and I explained to her that she could assist him with voting. Sometimes they think they can't vote for a Democrat if they're registered Republican. Maybe they don't know where to vote. So you're knocking 30 doors for these couple of situations. But when you score that vote, yeah it's really fucking rewarding! And there are thousands of other Jugglers knocking doors across the Commonwealth, each of them gets that one extra vote in their canvass. And that's how we win!

    Do you get into the weeds on issues with people? Like if a maga complains about inflation, do you point out it's come down and the whole world dealt with it and we've handled it better than most other countries etc etc etc....or is it more just telling them how and where to vote?

    If they told me they're voting for Trump I'm already on to the next house. "Thank you for your time, sorry for bothering you, I'll let them know and they won't bother you again..." We don't have time to argue with people. You want to give yourself but also be efficient with your valuable time.

    But if an undecided complains about prices at the grocery store, yeah I'm not gonna tell them they're wrong. They don't care about prices in England or whatever. I talked about Trump's tariff plans and how they will make prices explode. Looking back maybe I should've talked about Harris' plan re: price gouging (I mean, I'm skeptical myself about "controlling" prices - I'm a pretty hard-core capitalist). I had a 28-year old male living with his mom, so I talked about the Harris housing plan a little bit. I mean, I'm okay at this stuff but I ain't Pete Buttigieg out there. I didn't read the 81-page economic plan either.

    I forgot another category - the Democratic parent who's not on your list. They sometimes get offended you're knocking for their kid and not them. It's like, sorry, you are too reliable a voter for us to talk to (LOL).

    You are amazing, Johnny Abruzzo.  Thank you for your most excellent efforts.

    I live in a MAGA county, am old, have a shot immune system, and have difficulty conversing in person due to damaged hearing.  Sorry to be making excuses, but my going out would be awkward and difficult at best, and dangerous at worst.  The most I can do at this point is donate to the campaign, which for my income bracket has been sizable.  

    Anyway, good show.  You rock!

But when you score that vote, yeah it's really fucking rewarding! And there are thousands of other Jugglers knocking doors across the Commonwealth, each of them gets that one extra vote in their canvass. And that's how we win!



    You are amazing, Johnny Abruzzo.  Thank you for your most excellent efforts.

    I live in a MAGA county, am old, have a shot immune system, and have difficulty conversing in person due to damaged hearing.  Sorry to be making excuses, but my going out would be awkward and difficult at best, and dangerous at worst.  The most I can do at this point is donate to the campaign, which for my income bracket has been sizable.  

    Anyway, good show.  You rock!

    It's all about GOTV. Harris campaign is switching to turnout from persuasion, I believe. That makes for much nicer convos.

    PLEASE do a canvass if you're in or near a swing state.

    What's knocking on doors like? People ever argue with you?
    There's a few categories.
    1. Your people. They're supporting Kamala and they are happy you knocked. Yay! For turnout canvassing, this will be a lot of them.
    2. The refusers. They don't answer the door, being obviously at home, or they do and make up a reason why they're busy and can't talk. They probably expect to be asked for money, which they aren't. This is pretty common too.
    3. "I'm not telling" - I'd say these are Trumpers who think they can't tell you for some reason. They'd be better off, since you mark them as a Trump voter and they get left alone after that.
    4. "Get off my lawn" - Couple times I got "do you have a permit for this" or "did I invite you on my property"? Political canvassing is protected under Pennsylvania election law. We aren't selling anything or asking for money. Just say thank you and keep going.
    5. "I'm voting for Trump but I appreciate you" - some of the Trumpers are still glad about people being involved.
    6. Real MAGA's - they are generally filtered out but you might be looking for the 22 year old kid and you get the dad. Honestly they have trouble being mean to someone in person, especially because you are so friendly and good-looking! But if I happen across a house on my list with Trump signs up I pretty much just skip it.
    And probably once or twice each turf you get someone who actually is undecided, or wasn't planning on voting. One time I got a mom - her son was voting age but had an intellectual disability - she didn't think he could vote and I explained to her that she could assist him with voting. Sometimes they think they can't vote for a Democrat if they're registered Republican. Maybe they don't know where to vote. So you're knocking 30 doors for these couple of situations. But when you score that vote, yeah it's really fucking rewarding!

    Been thinking about this a lot lately. While my region (NW Indiana) is generally blue, my neighborhood definitely is not. I'm out in the county and very close to where the blueish goes dark red in an instant. That being said, along the nearest county roads I have seen more Harris signs than the other ones in the past few weeks. I've been pleasantly surprised and it has given me a glimmer of hope for a repeat of 08 for our state.
