Wait, people in USA get randomly and personally harassed in their homes to vote for the libs, jehova witness style?

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.

Oh so that's generally anglo thing.

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, that was my bad. But I have liberated myself from the cult, now I warn people against ever believing in such things.

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.

There were parts of the rural western states where the only way to get to people's houses was on horseback.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
