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.
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?.
