Weird.....just got a call from a repub canvassing for tRump and she asked me if I was voting

for him, I said ah, no, I’ll be voting for Kamala, thanks for calling and have a nice day. I was so shocked, I wish now I would have said other things, like vote for that orange piece of sheet? or vote for the felon? or vote for the twice impeached traitor?? Was just kinda caught off guard.

The *tricky* thing to do, would be to tell the GOP canvasser that you're undecided. That way, they have to waste time and resources trying to convince you to vote for Trump, instead of talking to other, actual undecided voters.

know are registered to vote and have voted with your party in the past. It is now down to knowing who has already voted. You don't waste time calling people who aren't likely to vote for your candidate, or who have already voted.

Trump is apparently not doing effective canvassing. That is what the experts have been telling us for a while now.

Hi this is xyz county sheriffs office.
If this is an emergency. Please hang up and dial 911
If you know your party's extension , please dial that now.

If you are calling to get me to vote for Trump, go fuck yourself.
