Gee I can't possibly tell why somebody would be turned off by the idea of volunteering with you. 🙄
Couldn't possibly be the 20 minute rant they get for ~~disagreeing with you~~ "denigrating good (read 'my') people"
I’m in the same camp as Roscoe here. There are a bunch of people I disagree with on plenty of topics within democratic and left-leaning spaces who otherwise are doing the lion’s share in all varieties of GOTV, local or federal organizing and elections support activities like being a poll judge. I will have their back all day every day.
Disagreement ain’t an issue, coming in at the 11th hour and expecting me to bend over backwards for their pet thing 100% is.
Do I REALLY need to tell you it's not a surprise you don't make long term volunteers out of new people by treating them the way Y'all do? Go reread those comments and tell me you'd hang around after being treated that way.
Democrats are just equally fascist and yall think "not trump" is all you need to win elections. See ya after the downfall boys!
It's not a surprise because "leftists" generally don't actually care about stuff like minority rights. If you getting your feelings hurt means it isn't even worth visiting a polling booth for those once every 4 years then how can anyone believe you actually give a shit?
So I'm supposed to show up everyday to help people who insult me all day advocate for policies I don't support in hopes that one day something I DO care about maybe gets a flier? No thanks faschie.
I find it fascinating that Roscoe started this reply thread calling out people who come in and demand support at the last moment while insulting and berating people doing the day in and day out work to get people elected that can slow or reverse our nation-wide shift towards authoritarianism.
And ends with the one whining about being expected to work together for a goal calling those doing the work fascists.
What a coincidence…
