Hey gang I just got asked to do jury duty on kind of a Debbie Downer post.
I am kinda discouraged by this kind of stuff. I have been doing phone banking in a pretty red area for 10 weeks. Lots of times it goes beyond just asking the script questions. I have been thinking about this a lot. On some calls I'm a cheerleader. Some people in my area only hear from the Trump cult and think there is no one they can talk to. I've had many examples of this pessimism. I relate the good experiences I've had compared to other elections. I lift their spirits and they certainly lift mine. I see nothing that indicates we should be scared, I'm not saying be complacent. Let's do everything to keep each other energized and hopeful.
