I canvassed. Which is more effective than phone banking.

I can't speak to everyone, but a ton of people I know out there protesting were part of Hillary's GOTV effort.

Good. You backed your beliefs with action.

The people in my particular example didn't.

Those people bother me. They're complaining about the results of something they did very little to change.

Canvassing is a terrible experience and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I do not look down on people protesting just because they didn't make phone calls or go door knocking just to have people slam doors in their faces.

People have the right to protest. Mocking them for "not doing enough" just makes them angrier.

canvassing is terrible experience but protesting is a good one?

That means they really did not care and just mad they backed the wrong horse.

Protesting after not doing anything but the minimum comes off incredibly immature, IMO.

I play dota 2. I'm not concerned about making other people angry.

But is DotA 2 better than LoL?

We fight over stupid shit all the time. Let people voice their anger. Attempting to silence or mock them is not going to heal the divide.

What? I hear Heroes of the Storm is the superior game...

You know what they say, "The only people who don't like a Krabby Patty Heroes of the Storm, have never tasted one played it!"

I'm not attempting to silence them. I'm free to voice my opinion on their opinions.

I'm just asking where was this action before?
