My Florida Text Banking shift: well, that was depressing
I do regular text banking in FL for Team Biden. Until today, we were focusing on vote by mail ballots, encouraging people to return them ASAP. The response was wonderful.
Today, we shifted to encouraging early voting, makes sense since it started today here. However, the text bank was open to all voters.
The whole thing is automated, with scripts to respond to the textees responses.
I did 600 texts. Fully 90% of them ranged from "hell, no, I'm voting for Trump" to "Fck you, socialist. Biden is a pedophile and Harris is a ho."
I responded with the standard responses, one of which is "Sorry, I'm just a volunteer." That elicited one, "sorry, I shouldn't have responded like that," but several others "fck you socialist" and worse.
The other texters, from all over the country, were getting similar replies. I stopped after an hour. I didn't need another hour of that abuse. The contact person expressed sympathy but added that some Rs are voting for Biden. I didn't see that at all.
I'll be back at it again tomorrow and hope for a better response.

2. Don't they normally utilize phone #s of potential Biden voters - not just random voters?
Pretty brutal if these numbers are thought to be Biden supporters.

19. I assume that you did not get 540 texts back?
Do you mean 90 per cent of the people who responded were negative? If so how many responded?
I know from phone banking in Florida that they give us independents as well as democrats so many of the independents are Trumpsters.
I’m on a phone right now so I’m not bringing any more over, but I think it might be opening some eyes.

Dems are slapping the panic button over some of the early voting returns, apparently. They expected to completely dominate in addition to getting all the peripheral people, legal voters or not, to vote for Biden, but word is leaking out that it is not going their way in some key swing states. Much damage control, publicity and BS polling to depress Trump turnout, and similar hi-jinx to follow for the next two weeks!

Geeeeeee ... maybe HilLIARy shouldn't have made that Basket of Deplorables crack ... and maybe all you DUpipo shouldn't have F-bombed (and worse) all those normal people who voted for Trump in 2016. I could pile on more "shouldn't haves", but Prog bigotry has consequences and DUmmie mcar got an hour's taste thereof..

All I'm hearing is, "I can't understand why they hate us back!"

WTF is text banking? Never heard of it... yeah I'm old and behind the times. So I looked it up:
https://www.demandthevote.com/text-banking (https://www.demandthevote.com/text-banking)
Looks like phone spam to me.
So if I understand it correctly your dummie ass is sending texts to people, unsolicited, and wonder why they respond in a hateful manner? You show up on my phone you gonna get more than a **** you socialist. I'll post your damned number online with the statement: "You cannot hack my phone, I'm bulletproof and you hackers are ****ing idiots!!!". I will track your shit down and give it to the russians!!! :-)
****ing loser. :bird:

Given my location, received some random texts in fall 2019. All from the Democratic candidate clown car of morons.
One from the Andrew Yang team caused me to respond.
Hi Ralph, I'm Tim, a volunteer w/ Yang2020. Andrew Yang is building a coalition of not only Democrats and Progressives, but also Independents and Conservatives with his flagship proposal of $1,000/mo for every American adult. On a scale from 1st to 5th of your top candidates, where would you rank Andrew?
Because I was in a playful mood, here is my pithy reply:
To quote Dean Wormer in Animal House: 0.0
The reply back:
Sorry, we won't bother you again. And that was really funny!

If you need a text from a random stranger to motivate or remind you to vote, I'd suggest you sit this one out.

I got an e-mail this very morning from Marianne Williamson, to whom I'd donated $10 last year so as keep her candidacy in the Democrat debates.
I deleted it, but anyway, she was soliciting donations to help clear up her unpaid campaign debts of $198,000.
It is however rather sporting of her to make attempts to pay off those bills; I imagine many of her competitors just turned their backs on the unpaid debts and walked away.

She probably financed her campaign through one of those check into cash places at the strip mall

Thanks for rowing that over, Texacon. I'm surprised they let it stand!

11. Exactly.
Just random texting shouldn't yield 90 % of Trump voters, unless the polls are completely wrong.

Their nervousness is showing. All the bravado they swing around over there despite the news media showing stadiums full of Trump supporters and Biden having people sit in circles in a high school gym, is just that, bravado. They're worried and they should be! They know the media is on their side yet the support for Trump can't be hidden so it gets shown.

What, not so sure about the 18+ points that "Where am I" Biden is supposedly ahead by?

Hillary was ahead too, how did all that positive polling work out for her?
Several books explaining why she lost! :-) :-) :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
