Milwaukee Canvasser
@mrjoeanderson.bsky.social
I volunteered for the Wisconsin Dems, canvassing in the near suburbs. I note what I hear and post it on Bluesky. Profile pic is a handsomer AI version of me. Posts and account were supposed to be deleted after 2024 election but here I am.

One weird thing about the rally: some of us were chanting “lock him up” while others (including me) were shouting “Kamala.” I thought it would go over better if we were heard shouting “Kamala”

Rally in #Milwaukee is over! I cheered when I was supposed to cheer, booed when I was supposed to boo, shouted along with the “we’re not going back” chant, and shouted “Disgusting!” when #Kamala brought up the sexual assault stuff. Good energy there.
