I genuinely don't understand people who would get a phone call from somebody donating their free time to make sure people know how to participate in their democracy and respond by being angry. If not for people like me volunteering to get out the vote by making calls and knocking on doors, our democracy would fall apart.
- democrazy 8y agoAnd getting people who are so uninformed and clueless that they don't know there's an election happening to vote is keeping our democracy together? I genuinely don't understand people who think that getting lots of completely ignorant people to cast votes is better than having an election with a smaller turnout of informed, competent citizens.
- elicash 8y agoYour view is one with an ugly history in this country. These are folks who have vested interests in the outcomes and absolutely have opinions about the issues.

I would be angry because you used what should be private information to contact me. I would also be angry that you framed this spamming as helping democracy. I don't know what you tell people but if it turned out the person who spammed me was actually affiliated with one party or another, then I would associate that party with sleazy tactics and be further angered. > If not for people like me volunteering to get out the vote by making calls and knocking on doors, our democracy would fall apart. That's quite frankly very delusional.
