Wanted to share this since we got a good laugh.
She got the phone and figured out it was a political call. Again. About the tenth one this month. See, my wife is from Michigan and she still has a Michigan phone number, and the DNC has been pestering her for weeks.
She figured out who it was, then told she wasn't allowed to talk to people without her husband's permission, just to put them on the back foot. She handed the phone to me.
I greeted them and asked who it was. She said her name was the same as my wife's name. My wife's name is fairly old fashioned so I'm pretty sure it was just a bit to try and build rapport.
She asked if I was planning on voting for Kamel and I said I was undecided, trying my absolute damnedest to sound apathetic and disconnected, the kind of people they're desperately trying to dredge up. She asked why, and if she could help elaborate on some issues for me.
I said "Tell me, is it true that Tim Walz ordered the entire state of Minnesota to put tampons in the boy's bathrooms at elementary schools? Because I'm a father of four and that just seems like pedophilia to me."
*BEEP
instantly hung up.
Kamala isn't capable of specifying where she stands on any issue, so I would love to know what their script is for answering questions on these calls. In my mind, they are using a custom word salad generator that gives random answers about being born middle class and saving democracy. It would have to be custom to make it dumb enough. ChatGPT would be way too coherent for their needs.
Anyway, you should have strung them along for awhile before you hit them with the real questions. Always make their job harder for them when you can.
I can answer. They literally promote free food/ coffee or someone performing, they make no mention of any policy aside from abortion.
Also, tie them up so that they can't propagandize as many low-information voters.
If I get to talk to another one of these losers I plan on asking why she doesn't seem like she wants to win. "It just seems... I don't know, kinda wrong to force a woman to do something she doesn't want to do."
If anyone gets the chance, get them to say something along the lines of "She's not Trump", "We have to stop Trump", or something. Agree with them, but say you're not really convinced by anything she's done. "But you know what? You're right, I'm not really convinced to vote for Kamala, but I think Jill Stein's still running. She's not Trump and Kamala is already in the White House. I think it's Jill's turn."
Or, instead of Jill, say you're voting for RFK. Blue no matter who, right?.
Yep, waste their time and resources.
Just like a telemarketer, keep them on the phone as long as possible.
Yep. Just try to max out the time as long as possible. Ask about who they're endorsing in local races and why. Then also make sure to say you're considering her but need to know more. That will put you on a call back list so you can waste even more of their time.
I know for sure she is from the middle class.
Oh wait, the only thing she is absolutely consistent on is also a lie.
A friend of mine got one of these calls. She didn't say anything and handed me the phone at my request.
"Blah blah blah, can I count on your support to vote for Kamala?"
"Well, I would, but she has had a friend of mine locked up for 15 years on bogus charges after her office claims they lost evidence that proved he wasn't even there."
"Oh! Um, I'm sorry! Have a good day! *click*"
Oh, hi Pajeet.
One time I trolled them with, I'm so tired of all the spam text and calls, I'm voting Trump. She told me to look at the bigger picture and I couldn't stop laughing. Anyway, I voted for Trump (for so, so many reasons).
When they are telling you to "look at the bigger picture" these clearly aren't pollsters.
She sounded so distressed lol
I hope I get a few more calls, I'm having fun trolling them.
It won't be hard. Just make some donations or register for email lists on activist organizations, and include your cellphone number. Then make sure to answer anything marked "Likely Spam" that calls your phone. Also, be sure to visit website on your cellphone, the cellphone data will be mined by the website to get the phone number.
It's probably not super wise to do this, but it could be fun if you really want it.
You should probably find one person out of the group that you should just get super serious with:
The existential dread you give to them will probably cut them out of politics forever.
That's a good roast for them. I do want to troll them about kamala whoring herself to the top. I have two girls and I don't want them to see that as an acceptable career path
I'm surprised you were able to talk to a real person (admittedly I'm using a very loose definition of "person" here). Back when I was still willing to hear people out the faggots just called with a recorded message, as if I was going to listen to that shit instead of hanging up.
No it was definitely a human, although they certainly weren't ready to answer anything about Walz' record lol.
I got one of those calls shortly after I voted. felt real suspicious, but I now realize I missed out on a great opportunity to troll.
I’ve only gotten texts from republicans. The few democrat texts stopped when I said in supporting Trump
Same. Are you a registered Republican? I'm still registered as one, even though I'm probably more conservative than their platform.
I was a big Ron Paul supporter back in the day and was more of a conservative flavored libertarian but decided to officially register as a Republican back in 16. I’m more conservative than their platform but between the two I’m definitely not supporting the Dems
I was a standard GOP conservative at 18 and registered as such. Now I'm much more right but still get the literature and calls. That's probably why you are hearing from them as well.
I’d say I’d be viewed as a white supremacist or evil by the mainstream media but that isn’t a high bar. Maryland was a solid red state when you were young I imagine
No, it's been blue for awhile. Maryland is full of government workers.
Oh ok. I finished high school in northern VA because my dad got a job in dc area. Graduated in 99 and VA still was red even with northern part
Stop sending them to live over here.
Back in 2020 I got some very suspicious texts that I brought to the attention of the Board of Elections.
It was something like, "CALLING ALL FELLOW PATRIOTS! Donald TRUMP needs your help! Have you been sent a mail in ballot and need someone to deliver it! Contact back this number and we'll help you collect your ballot!"
100% chance that was a Dem operation to destroy Republican mail-in ballots.
This year I haven't been responding to poll texts because I don't think they are real pollsters, and may just be hackers or information launderers.
Mary Jo, Sue Ellen, or Billy Jean
Yes! Always lie to any pollsters you don't trust. It fucks up their data worse and worse. But don't make it too obvious. Do the "I'm an independent white hispanic, and I'm undecided."
Yup, not a legit pollster, even by CNN standards.
There are times I’m happy to live in the state I live in, and election time is just local people.
I live in Michigan, I have been spammed texted to the tune of hundreds of texts at this point over the past few months. At least 5 a day. What’s even more sad is some of these troglodytes are even dumb enough to reply back. The trolling has been glorious.
Lmfao not all heroes wear capes.
