Four of us did another lit drop in Summit Hill today. We had material for Shapiro, Fetterman, and Susan Wild in little plastic bags. The bags have holes in the top to slip them over door knobs. It is inevitable that you meet people on their porches or on the street. Everyone we met was pleasant. Some thanked us, some discussed the election, some told us we had their votes or said they had already voted.
If I had to pick one trait that distinguishes most Democrats from most Republicans, I think it would be the lack of anger among Democrats. An example is the literature we distributed. All of it was upbeat, explaining what our candidates were hoping to accomplish. Republican opponents were not mentioned. We came across literature on some doors left by supporters of Oz and Lisa Scheller. The pieces were full of vitriol, stoking fear and attacking the Democrats as being soft on crime and acting as socialists.
Summit Hill, by the way, has a lot of Democrats. Maybe that’s one of the reasons I like it so much.
