America PAC door knockers were flown to Michigan, driven in the back of a U-Haul, and told they’d have to pay hotel bills unless they met unrealistic quotas. One was surprised they were working to elect Donald Trump.

    These are the same ones who were spoofing gps and making up responses to meet quotas…

    So the only ones making quota are the fakes, and everyone else gets fired for not meeting the standard.

    And all of this is a complete waste of money.

      The problem here is that it seems some coercive measures were used (e.g. being threatened with unaffordable hotel bills) which probably got at least some workers to canvas for a candidate whom they didn’t support. (It also explains why some felt compelled to cheat, though in this instance I wasn’t really feeling bad about it either way.)

      Ultimately this is what we want though - CItizens United (2010) meant big money was able to get into play. So it’s good when that big money for MAGA instead ends up wasted like this - less money for the other side to competently defeat Harris.
