True that, side note, I fucking hate how cities etc will use the term 'mutual aid' for things like adjacent police departments working together, anyone else notice this ? I never saw it before 2020. They want to distort the term because the libs know that people helping each other is one of the biggest threats to the state.

Also how they'll throw $20/ month at the dnc to put more TV adds and spam texts out but won't donate to a local hardship fund.
Liberal mutual aid is when somebody on the street asks you for ten dollars and you ask to see their website.
Liberal mutual aid is getting an AMBER alert on their phone and getting mad it woke them up
Let's get them to doorknock for our Local Politician. Except, instead of handing out brochures, they should bring some fresh fruit and veggies and some shelter info. And instead of talking about Local Politician, they should say that they have extra fruit and veggies for anyone that wants them. And instead of going to peoples doors they can just walk around
the only problem with this is that the vast majority of liberals don't even doorknock every 2 or 4 years, that's way beyond the pale of normal average voter behavior
I swear that kind of thing is either paid by campaigns that have the money, or relies on a steady stream of fresh faces who haven't been disillusioned yet. I did it a grand total of twice and I think the people that come out and doorknock for democrats year after year, shift after shift, without seeing any issues with liberalism, are off their rocker
i once belonged to a 'communist' party who spent a great deal of time doorknocking for democrats. it was miserably depressing for the reasoning you outlined
I would be so mad if I signed up for communism and ended up knocking on doors for libs. That's worse than those job interviews that are really MLM scams.
right? to be fully and entirely fair to them they did also have a person or two who were supporting strikes that involved none of their members so they were doing some valuable work, but not being able to participate without spending time lib doorknocking or talking about lib doorknocking was a dealbreaker for me
#ThoughtsAndPrayers is all I've got honey. If you want more you're just being greedy and ungrateful.
