      The evidence is pretty overwhelming that door knocking just isn't useful for Federal campaigns. We tried this in 2018 too, funding some of the best-organized field teams in the country, and got a null result.https://twitter.com/dcg1114/status/1227449293281415168 …

      This is my town: we started knocking on doors in May convinced that personal persuasion was powerful. We knocked on these doors for 10 months, and the staff and volunteers were committed and worked like hell. We got 308 votes. Politics will break your heart. pic.twitter.com/4wDGSbaYeq

      Door knocking and turf cutting are good for one thing: creating a powerful sense of loyalty, camaraderie, and shared purpose among organizers and volunteers. But it's an expensive kind of team-building exercise to fetishize.

          Note that I'm talking about only about Senate and House campaigns. Maybe door-knocking is super effective for state campaigns, ballot initiatives, local neighborhood stuff. I hope it is! I would like for it to be an effective tool because that is a hopeful story to tell myself.

          Most of my frustration with progressives in 2020 is not ideological, but a failure to learn from experience. No, you are not going to turn out record numbers of non-voters and youth by calling every house and knocking every door. Try something else! Don't fail the same way!

          Part of this is just common sense. Personal conversations are powerful, but door knocking and phone banking are just political telemarketing. They are NOT personal conversations unless the people have some kind of preexisting relationship that didn't start by interrupting dinner.

          Again, no disrespect to the comrades. But I raised a huge amount of money precisely for the kind of field campaigns that everybody is in love with again in 2020. They were awesome. But they did *nothing* to win us votes, either in primary or general election House races.

          ...really? I'm surprised. Wasn't my experience during my time as a field organizer, but then again I was seeing things from inside the system. Very much curious: what did you find helped the most? And why/how? (I realize that's probably asking a lot. Short answers are fine 😅)

          That's what I mean, from inside the system it is very inspiring and fills you with good feelings to do this work. But objectively it does nothing for the campaign. That was a bitter lesson for me, I'm not happy about it.

          what's a more effective use of volunteers' time?

          I have no earthly idea! I welcome any evidence-based arguments about it. I'm also curious whether having *neighbors* canvass has an effect, compared to sending strangers into neighborhoods.

          I made phone calls in my precinct for Obama in 2008 and I know it helped him get delegates in California. But he also had great momentum.

          What should people do @davidshor? Is text banking useful? Or would it be better to get a second job and donate money for advertising?

          The new decentralized infrastructure for canvassing "distributed organizing" where you can just download an app and knock doors really lowers the organization costs of doing volunteer canvassing, but leveraging your personal networks is imp.
