      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.

          Door knocking and phone banking are also very important sources of data for campaigns

          That's a really good point! I will point out, though, that MiniVAN is awful at data collection.

          Anecdote: I was at my in-laws on Sunday, visiting my FIL while he recuperated from a broken leg. I brought my 4 month old, who was getting sleepy, when someone from the Klobuchar campaign aggressively knocked on the door and woke her. She started crying. (1/2)

          I went to the door, opened it, and told the woman it wasn’t a good time and we had a crying baby. She _pushed her way in_, talked loudly over a fussing/crying baby, and left a door hanger on the _inside_. Horrible interaction. Knock on doors if you want, but read the damn room.

          I live in New Hampshire and a huge topic of conversation is how annoying the door knocking, direct mail, and phone calls are. Direct mail in particular is seen as incredibly wasteful from an environmental standpoint. Maybe some of it works but I don’t know.

          On my mission (LDS) our handbook cited 1 conversion per 1000 contacts by door. Almost every other method is better. The best is a member referral (a friend inviting a friend).

          i think this says a lot about the type of canvassing you have been around. not all field is the same. the cul-de-sac suburbanite absolutely hates being interrupted, but thats not the case for every intersection of age, class or race. this is a very broad brush you are using

          My experience is that there are many suburbs where people want someone to talk to them about elections. In my own city I often see complaints on line about how little voter contact there is from people running for office.

          It seems like the “Bloomberg Blitz” in youtube/ social media ads could be a viable strategy for congressional campaigns. I guess we’ll see after Super Tuesday, but it seems like it’s an effective strategy, and wouldn’t be super expensive over a single congressional district
