I was just knocking on some doors to save their rental units from being replaced and them being kicked out. Hopefully that’s a valid reason to door knock.
Comment on World would be a better place
nixus@anarchist.nexus 2 weeks agoI’ve had people knock on my door trying to push stuff that I even agree with: fixing climate change, helping the homeless, anti-trump stuff….
And I still want them to GTFO. If someone interrupts my day, I’m not gonna listen to their pitch at all.

I used to canvas door-to-door for a public interest group, so I almost always give them some cash and offer them water and a bathroom break. It was an absolutely horrific job and I’m sure it’s even worse today. I still want them to move the fuck on as quickly as possible, though.
I still remember the best interaction I ever had going door-to-door. We were raising money to help fight rising insurance rates, and I was talking to one old guy standing next to his truck. He listened to my spiel and then said “I’ll tell you why insurance rates are so high: it’s because the n*****rs are burning the cities down.” I said “well that’s what we’re fighting, sir” and he gave me $25.
