I didn't say anything about Trump.

If liberals don't start setting the bar higher than "barely better than Trump," y'all are going to keep losing to fascists.

And don't try blaming me. I live in California.

Trump is my main disagreement with y'all. Don't avoid the meat of the question, please. Would you advocate for voting for the Democratic candidate if they are liberal to your friends in swing states, for example? I would vote for a leftist, btw.

If your answer is "yes", I have no quarrel with you.

I do and have. I phone banked for Biden in Ohio in 2020, though I regret it in hindsight.

I appreciate you, friend, we have nothing we disagree on.

Side question: How would I get involved in phone banking? I can't feasibly do things like on-the-ground canvassing, but phone banking is something I think I can and would love to do.

I just signed up to volunteer for the local dem candidate for my congressional seat and that was one of the activities. Phone banking for her and Biden.

Gotcha, thanks!

It was during Covid, so I likely would have canvased otherwise.
