So the thing is, getting these cards from out of state feels intrusive. I totally get that the people sending them feel like they’ve “done something”, but I really do doubt if they’ve done what you hope they will do. I remember back in 2016 when dh was at a grad program in MA. He had classmates who were heavily-accented non-citizens canvassing NH for Hilary. I get that they felt like they were doing something, but I really think their efforts were misguided. Sometimes it matters what you do, not just that you’ve done “something”.

First, you are wrong on whether these postcards work. Second, you sound so racist. Heavily accented people can’t care about elections in countries in which they are living? Really?

Do you really want to be schooled by a non-citizen on how you should vote in an election? Really?

They were more knowledgeable and smarter than the Americans who voted for Trump. I don’t even understand why you are assuming they weren’t citizens.

And y’all wonder why Trump won. Condescending pricks.

Sorry that the truth hurts.

Trump himself would absolutely, unequivocally fail the U.S. citizenship test taken by immigrants if you pulled him into a room with no ability to cheat. No. Question. Whatsoever.

+1 I went to boarding school in NH and I thought it was so weird that the foreign students were campaigning so intensely. The leader of the Democrat club was Canadian FFS and the year before it was an Israeli student.

It’s not condescending if it’s true. Plus, he lost.

Read the post. That was 2016. He won.

Texts would really turn me off. We don’t answer our landline anymore because we get so many useless calls, especially during the political season.

Actually, even if it’s true, it’s still condescending.

Strategy matters. Being a prick is bad strategy to get people to vote for your candidate. Sending postcards from out of state is a bad strategy for getting people to vote for your candidate. Votingmatters.org would have been much better off focusing on having in-state supporters send GOTV mailers.

It sounds like you are pro-Trump and claiming that being a prick is a bad strategy. The irony is priceless.

I’m not pro-Trump. I was horrified when he won and grateful his term ended before he plunged us all into WW III. Only other R I voted for president was McCain. Only Republican I voted for governor was whoever ran against Elliot Spitzer way back when. I knew that guy was a prick long before he imploded his career. Outside of that, I’d say I voted Republican maybe a dozen times in my life. I’m a diligent voter who reads up on issues and votes in off-years. I’m the potential swing voter the democrats need. Fine by me if you want to write off my vote. I’m just here to tell you that’s a bad strategy.

I was going to vote in the newsom recall but I got so many calls and postcards it turned me off. He ended up winning so that was good, but I’m really to completely unregistered to vote be CD it’s I’m so tired of all the texts.

You know all of the tv/mail/internet ads are financed by people outside of your community, right? Are you as mad at them too?

Are you kidding? Those are insanely annoying!!! I actually grew up in Iowa, hating political ads is my birthright.

It’s not an assumption. They were in dh’s program. Their citizenship status was general knowledge.

"schooled"? Seriously? You sound a little dramatic. I've been canvassed several times- accented, non-accented, brown, white, short, tall, clearly From Here, clearly Not From Here...no conversation has ever come remotely close to "schooling."
