I have been getting 10 calls/day this week. I string them along to waste their time and tomorrow or Friday will start asking about CEFC and the Biden crime family

I was wondering when I should drop the Ukraine China connection -- Friday sounds like a good day. We're currently at convincing me that we're not going to export fossil fuel jobs overseas as unicorn farts will generate all the power we need once we get unicorns and train them to fart on demand.

Don't even bother. You'll never convince them of anything and they'll stop calling you. Continuing to waste their time is preferable. That way you might actually keep them from rounding up other Biden votes.

Ask them to repeat the answers because you didn't really understand. And ask stupid, detailed questions. And when they ask you a question, repeat yourself a lot and say unrelated things and tell unrelated stories. Both in phone calls and in meetings.

In phone calls, I would really push how progressive and exciting it is that Biden wants to bring communism to America with his close ties to China. Shit like that. I'm sure you're killing it.

I'm sure you're killing it.

So far I’ve just been burning their clock but now my goal is to start flipping them against Biden as step 1 and killing it will be if I can get them to say they’ll vote for Trump.

  • Step 1 is easy, “I was really excited to vote for Joe and his policies and wish he ran in 2016 but with all the emails from his son, his business partner that Tony Bobabooy guy and that other partner in jail....not the Devon guy, the other one, I just can’t support Joe. Also that super predator thing and crime bill really bother me....plus he seemed to lie a lot in the debate. I don’t know what do you think?....”

The hardest part of this election is that I don't think anyone is voting for Biden. I think they're just voting against Trump. I've had some luck with "If trump was compromised, don't you think we'd know by now after all the investigations?" And I've also been taking a conciliatory approach like this: "Look, I get that Trump can be an ass and obnoxious, but I pay less in taxes than four years ago, not to mention (whatever Trump's policy change you favor)".

Going anti-Biden doesn't seem to work as well, mainly because no one is really making a case for Biden anyway. Everyone who is voting Biden is just "anti-Trump".

Good luck!

Excellent strategy. Have you seen the guy here with the username 'rambles off topic' or something like that? His skillset would be ideal, he's really good at it. Funny af too.

Yep, wasting their time and resources is absolutely the best.

Don't let on that you'll never vote for Biden. Just keep saying you're not sure, you're undecided.

I do this with people who come to the door. Or did, now the lefties are all askeered.
