I intended my final GOTV article to cover the $330,000 that was dumped into Ro Khanna’s super PAC after the FEC filing deadline allowing those donors to remain anonymous until after the election, but yesterday’s dinner changed that. You can read the coverage by Josh Richman of the San Jose Mercury News. Instead I want to share an experience from yesterday’s canvassing.
Surely many here have seen how I deal with the trolls and charlatans that come here to spread misinformation or scam other Daily Kos members. Often with a heavy dose of snark, I mock and taunt the trolls, yet still try to provide facts with links so others can find the truth. Well, to the dismay of the Ro Khanna campaign, I’ve taken my show to twitter, pushing back against the wild accusations flung by them at Congressman Mike Honda. I’ve been merciless and relentless.
No doubt my new twitter followers imagine me raging, ranting and rancorously ripping Ro while canvassing as I do online, but they would be surprised to learn I follow the lead of my little one.
The point of canvassing is to remind people to vote. That does not mean saying, "Hey, it's illegal to vote for Ro Khanna!" But instead, it is important to explain positive information about Mike Honda.
