... in 2012 when I canvassed for Obama I went up to NH to do it. MA was obviously already voting blue as always.

In 2018 I was in MA but hitting neighborhoods w/a lot of registered dems that had low voter turnout in 2016.

Yea I totally feel you. For a long time I was that way as well, and still get kinda annoyed with it to this day.

But there came a point where I thought: if I'm gonna drive my friends insane all the time pontificating about politics and how bad the repuglican party is I should prolly put some action behind my words.

But obviously it's not for everyone, and understandably so.
