Voice of America (VOA) is a state media network funded by the United States of America, whose purpose is to project soft power through journalism.

In 2005, the Washington Post reported that suspected Al-qaeda operatives were flown into Thailand to be detained and tortured. VOA’s remote relay radio station in Udon Thani province has been widely suspected to be the torture site.

The privatization/contracting method of canvassing is not working so great is it? Now imagine that with healthcare (it’s basically already that way) and every other necessity of life and we’ve got the Republican platform!

Why go door to door, doing something that doesn’t promise results, when you could simply take the money and guarantee the outcome!

Well thats their own fault. They need to make a program and hype it up by making it a cool group thing to get those door knobs turning. I can just see it. Knobs for trump.

It’s also entirely possible the Republicans were expecting a completely different set of knockers.

They don’t see this as a problem because they never had an expectation of winning honestly, having congress or SCoTUS do it instead was the plan from the start and I fear I don’t hear enough democrats talking about planned defenses.
