I get the caution but we need to start putting boots on the ground so to speak and start knocking on doors old school style. The GOP are doing it. Time to adjust our ground game strategy now. This virtual shit aint going to cut it.

(5,005 posts)Trumps campaign seems to have the energetic supporters out there doing sign ups and door knocks with masks. This virtual thing has never been done before and they are nervous to take this risk. I want people safe but Im getting a little concerned about him energizing and mobilizing his nuts too.

Certainly not canvassers. That would really backfire with most voters, per the poll shared on Morning Joe.

(58,534 posts)Voters overwhelmingly prefer that campaigns dont dispatch workers to knock on their doors as part of their outreach efforts, with the number rising because of the pandemic that has sickened millions of Americans.
Sixty-three percent of voters now feel apprehensive about encountering canvassers outside their door, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll released Tuesday. Just 28 percent say they are comfortable being contacted in person by campaign volunteers.
