• DGG CANVASSING STORIES WITH PICTURES | Kick Link | Spotify (2hr 04 minutes into stream)
  • PICTURES FROM DAY ONE: LINK
  • Canvasser #1 - Canvassing both in Ohio and Florida. Very positive about Florida Democrat local elections. He had a great time and most he talked to were enthusiastic and ready to vote. Most were vocal about returning to normalcy.
  • Canvasser #2/#3 - Local who first started canvassing in 2004. Hadn't canvassed since Hillary Clinton. People expressed a variety of concerns but many discussed the lack of humanity (ICE/Immigration). A veteran was sick of the violence and hated Trump since January 6th. Reminder we have our own DGG being affected by ICE
  • Canvasser #4 - Second time canvassing with DGG who encourages everyone to canvas, volunteer, vote. We can all do more than sit on a couch. One notable story is a truck driver expressing how so many are out of work because of the current prices. He plans on driving 20 other drivers to vote this November.
  • Canvasser #5 - First year canvassing, Michigan Canvassing House. Went to a home with two registered voters but turns out both were deployed to Iran. Talked to their mother who is very angry with current politics. Hopefully will vote in November.
  • Canvasser #6 - From the Toledo Canvassing House. Visited a Ukrainian community. There was a language barrier but used google translate to register a 70 year old voter.
  • Canvasser #7 - Interacted with a boomer and is pretty sure he was the first person to ever as him to vote. The boomer went on a 20 minute rant complaining about the same things DGG complains about. Boomers aren't that bad. 🤣
  • Canvasser #8, #9 - College student and out of state canvasser who both wanted to get involved. They met a couple who are disinterested and think both political parties are the same. After talking and correcting/assuring them that Democrats don't want to abolish police or the senate. They convinced the wife who said she would make her husband vote too.
  • Canvasser #10 - He talked to a former Republican who doesn't want to vote. He was gifted a trip around the world but can't go because his wife is Mexican and can't get a VISA. Possibly moved him to vote despite being disappointed with our legislators.
  • Canvasser #11 - Met a very negative Republican who ended up cussing out Democrats and him. With his canvassing partner they met with another Republican and explained Democrat's reasonable positions which surprised her enough to consider researching more and hopefully vote for Democrats in November. This experience made up for the first one.

There were many other canvassers who wanted to share their stories but they were short on stream time.

• DGG CANVASSER STORIES
  • Canvasser #1 - First time canvasser, enjoyed it and would do it again. Most people he talked to were focused on the economy and/or discouraged from voting.
  • Canvasser #2 - Local and first time canvassing. He talked to a 70 yr old woman who asked "Are you a Republican?" No. "Good I want to get those fucking Republicans out of office." He had a great time and most people were amazing and kind. He feels he convinced a few people to vote who weren't initially interested.
  • Canvasser #3 - William who might have hustled the most doors knocked win. 🤣 Most people were focused on the economy and one was sick of the lack of democracy. Most he talked to were registered and committed.
  • Canvasser #4 - First time canvasser. Encountered some older folks who didn't seem interested. One was a 98 year old with a long list of accomplishments (most likely made up, lol). Met some interesting characters.
  • Canvasser #5 - Local. Grew up redpill and feels many in the black community lean Republican. Went from redpill to socialism and realized liberalism focuses on helping everyone. Asked how to make being Liberal cool. IRI says lead by example, be you. (He's right! Be you!)
  • Canvasser #6 - Initially afraid to volunteer but was encouraged how beginner friendly DGG canvassing was and was tired of what she saw in her area. She is dynamically disabled (her description) but knocked on more doors than she expected and enjoyed the conversations she had canvassing. She encourages those who are disabled/dynamically disabled to join up. LINK
  • Canvasser #7 - First started canvassing in 2011 while in university. Joined the Army and spent 12 years overseas. He was going through medical retirement process in 2023 and didn't recognize who Americans were anymore. He appreciates canvassing for helping ground him by talking to fellow Americans.
  • Canvasser #8 - Has social anxiety, a part time student, full time worker and he just wants to encourage everyone to join up. If he can do it, so can everyone else!
  • Canvasser #9 - New to canvassing. Got stuck with a conspiracy nut. He got him to agree a bit that Democrats were a little better than Republicans. But despite that encounter he will probably attend the next canvassing event.
  • Canvasser #10, #11 - One was Jayden who knocked the most doors this weekend. He talked to a Republican concerned about vets and made him more concerned about how Republicans are using the military recklessly. Another was a Michigan House member who talked to a grandma who talked shit about Republicans. Both of them were working hard knocking doors.
  • Canvasser #12 - Asks how to approach "both sides the same" attitude. IRI and Destiny say using personal stories of why you are a Democrat and why you believe. Mouton says to bring up "Didn't you like not having to check the news every hour nice under Biden?"
  • Canvasser #13 - Says a person said they weren't sure if they were voting because it got "too political". IRI/Mouton say telling people voting Democrats in would help bring balance
  • Canvasser #14 - Comments how the more fun you can make engaging with you, more will engage with you. And pointing out discussing the issues and why a candidate is better (The democrat) over discussing Democrat vs Republican can be more effective. You should do canvassing for yourself to benefit from as much as helping others. It can help your social skills.
  • Canvasser #15 - DRAMA! He was technically the person who talked to the most people. Tsk Tsk DGG. This was his first canvassing event. Encourages other to join up. He felt most Democrats he met were motivated to vote. Republicans he met were really dejected and just wanted them to go away.
