      We do door knocking as part of electoral campaigns here in the UK too. It’s called canvassing.

      There will be next to no volunteers doing it for Starmer but we had fucking endless supplies of people that wanted to do it for Corbyn.

          I’ve experienced it exactly once in Denmark. Some nobody succdem candidate knocked on my door and gave me a rose and a flyer. It was a very perplexing experience.

            This is why you should have Enhedslisten Ø sticker on your door. It is a campaign sticker that doubles as international symbol for “do not” (in this case, knock or bother). 10/10 would recommend

      Yes. It is straight up cult behavior in many ways. Especially if you consider the vague contradictory campaign promises and how all of the libs seem like they were gene spliced in the same lab. Burgerlanders actually believe the nonsense “reduce crime, X culture war issue, cut taxes” line from both sides and, critically, fail to recognize that red team and blue team are on the same side.
