i feel like the thing that's missing from all the online voting discourse is that the core part of your base doesn't just vote, they *move their communities* by doing all the annoying door-knocker volunteer shit that gets other people voting
and they can't do that very well if they're eating shit
because you need enthusiasm to do all that volunteer shit
and you need enthusiasm to *sell* the candidate, it's the bedrock of doing outreach with any semblance of sincerity
