2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Insurgents [View all]I love going door-to-door.
A while back (well before this Democratic primary) a friend and I were going door-to-door in what is an upper-middle class neighborhood in a town not far from Binghamton. We had information on some toxic industrial waste dump sites in the town. Three guys wanted to initiate fist-fights with me. (Well, they pretended they wanted to.) It upset my friend. However, since then, I convinced him to run for a local public office. I ran his campaign, and he won by one vote!
I liked the people at Citizen Action. Having that many volunteer teams hitting the streets was cool, too.
