    I’ve been wondering something, specifically related to something I heard mentioned last night on a stream: their hypothesis was that real life ground game, door knocking or whatever, doesn’t matter any more, and the modern ‘ground game’ is social media and 1:1 conversations.

    When ‘reasonable’ people delete/deleted twitter/facebook in droves, are we just ceding the ground game to the racists and the ones who can shout the most hate?

      Leaving a toxic environment that also is a privacy and advertising nightmare will always be an excellent personal choice.

        This guys over here pushing people off of fences! Must be a descendant of the guy who murdered Humpdy-Dumpdy.

        What? The nursery rhyme said he had a great fall. It never specified what CAUSED his fall!

        Yes. I AM in here spouting off nursery rhyme conspiracy theories. I figure the next 4 years don’t matter. So I’m just going to forget any sense of self control, rational thinking, or empathatic morals. I’m just going to poop in the streets and blame…eh, who can I blame…I’ll blame Andy Dick. Seems like something he’d do. Nobody is going to question that!
