After hundreds of call for hrc I think the majority who answered seemed to be r / dump supporters, why were they on the list? One young hispanic man told me he had already voted for dump and a young woman pretended it wasn't her after she answered the phone. Most of the rest were hrc and had already voted. Some were angry at me for asking if they had voted dem or were going to vote dem etc. I think I only helped one person’s daughter to figure out where to vote. It was VERY unpleasant to say the least.

Most people were not home so I left a message only realizing later we weren’t supposed to do that, it was much more pleasant to just leave a message with voting info.

I also made calls at a center for Gershon. Again a bunch of dump idiots mostly, not home or had already voted for Gershon or were going to. The best part about that was I met an old friend running the show and some other people there.

This year I am only donating.
