i once knocked on the door of a northwestern poly sci prof. interesting convo.
he’d researched this. he said- mail pieces land in the trash and phone calls piss ppl off. but doors, face to face conversations, those will win.

my guy won that election, and every 1 of my plus 1s came out. and they voted for my guy, too. know this cuz they all early voted and we got 100% of the early votes.
it can b grueling, but it’s a lot of fun. it’s good for the soul, too.
