the opposite theory of prez elections (i.e. presidents are replaced by someone who is in some way their opposite) would suggest that if Biden wins, it'll have been the president who first truly used Twitter losing to the presidential candidate who was immune to its discussion — PolitiTweet.org

Update No. 2: @TurnoutPAC has now suspended its canvassing operation “until further notice,” per email from Ex Dr Alex Morgan. The move comes a day after it had told staffers they could opt out of door-knocking program, amid mounting internal pressure that the effort wasn’t safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Some are delighted, saying PTP's leadership has heard their concerns. Others say it still doesn't go far enough, cuz canvassing operation will continue for those who don't opt out, even amid the pandemic. Just about every other Dem group has suspended door-2-door voter contact — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

Those staffers would participate in a phone-banking program instead. Beforehand, employees who opted out of the door-to-door program were not guaranteed employment through Election Day. News is driving a split reaction from some employees I've communicated with. — PolitiTweet.org

(source is normally very cautious with prognostications but like a lot of Dems, is feeling bullish these days). If any cultural issue could overcome anger of the pandemic, it would be that one. But the Daines quote points to how even that will be a challenge in a year like this — PolitiTweet.org
