Subject: Re: NY Times Editorial Board -- Biden Must Exit Race
We have donated to the party. We have donated more to individual candidates. We have also donated to local candidates (county) who happen to be Republicans, although they are not crazy Republicans.
I live in Tennessee, which is a lost cause so far as “helping”, but we have manned phone banks which work in nearby states where there is a chance of changing the outcome (notably North Carolina and Virginia). Going door to door in Tennessee is a waste of effort, sadly. It is solid, rock red Republican here. There is no amount of persuasion, except for Jesus Christ himself, that might help, but as we have seen around the country, even that has been perverted into the “get rich, stomp on immigrants” philosophy, so it’s doubtful if even He came back that we would get any traction here.
I hear ya. My wife is Filipina and their culture is to stay away from divisive subjects. The women are the backbone of the societies there, with some parts of the societies being matrilineal. I did door to door in CA, but with maps of the Dems so I could help get out the vote. Here in Florida it's phone banks. But they're also asleep here. California was energetic and a varied in age group. All of the Dems I've seen here are old, like me. I think if Florida turns blue it will be in the cities, not here.
So Cal also has more courteous and better drivers. :)
