Because paid operatives are expensive and knocking on doors is the most effective way to mobilize voters.

To be fair to us, the brain worm guy dropped out.
Not likely, but it helps the other side far more than it helps us. It should be removed.
Senate will be tight in any realistic scenario. Tester in Montana is the most likely of the three I listed to come through and I donated to his campaign.
I will be voting against Ted Cruz and I am volunteering on weekends to help Collin Allred.
If anyone reading this is wondering if it’s worth it, I think it absolutely is worth it to donate what you can, and volunteer how you can.
Voting is the bare minimum. Please do so.
I have bad news about the Senate.
Reps are probably taking it unless Texas, Florida, or Montana comes through to glad Dems a 50/50 split.
Now if they can abolish the filibuster at least for adding states and also take the house, they could add DC and Puerto Rico and the next cycle would be friendlier.
I see a material difference between people that cheer death and destruction and those with the decency to lie about it.
Words can effect change with people capable of shame and self reflection.
The liberals did not elect Hitler. The conservatives did. The liberals failed to form a government because the next 3 largest parties, the conservatives, fascists, and the communists, refused to form a coalition with them.
Then the opportunity arrose for the next largest party, the conservatives, to form a government, and they did so with the fascists.
You sound a lot like the German communists in 1932, refusing to support the liberals even though they had more seats in the Reichstag than the conservatives or the fascists. How did that work out for them?
Vote for Superman if you must, but he won’t do anything for Gazans because he is not real. You can’t punish the people asking Israel nicely to stop killing people by withholding your support and allowing people into power that want more death and destruction.
The message that sends is they need to move further right, send more weapons, start killing more people directly, withhold aid, give cart blache to the IDF because the only people that vote are the people that want the Palestinians dead.
Made sense to me. “DO SOMETHING!”
Like what?
It gets the crowd fired up without providing any productive outlet for that energy.
Barak appealed to our shared humanity. As a trans woman, he asked me to understand the views of people that wish I was dead.
Maybe it’s good politics, but I don’t have to like it.
Yeah, the naval base is the big thing.
For Ukraine, it’s about the principle of the matter. Taking Crimea back would mean “we are a real country and you can’t push us around.”
Just the dirt is worth a lot. Even if Russia conducted a genocide without anyone noticing, and all the buildings flat.
I am so happy to be proven wrong. A pit of fear opened in my stomach when I read he dropped out.
48 hours later I was coconut pilled and ready to volunteer for Harris.
Ptsd. We have been burned before.
I’ve never waited more than 20 mins to vote, and never more than 5 on early voting.
I live in a big city. It could be better, but not much better.
With the Supreme Court and Judge Cannon in his pocket, he will never see the inside of a prison cell.
The courts have manifestly. Shown they have no interest in handling it.
He blew up for me over the past 10 days.
But the New York times wrote an article about him as a teacher in 2006 the year he first ran for Congress.
Walz didn’t run in the primary.
Our choice was biden, some blue dog conservative Dem from Minnesota, or rfk.
Biden was the best of the lot.
What would you sayd they should do?
