I feel like a lot of politics nerds have never done much canvassing, as it tends to teach you pretty quickly that voters are an amazingly messy, complex, weird bunch. I remember @chrislhayes.bsky.social saying something about how it taught him how polling tidies people into nice tidy boxes.

I’ve done voter reg/GOTV/poll watching for 25 years and I say this to anyone who will listen: swing voters aren’t moderates. They’re weirdos with a random grab bag of political opinions that no candidate can satisfy. They aren’t your socially liberal/fiscally conservative parents in the suburbs.

Yes! It's a real problem actually that most political journalists and pundits seem to have zero experience with canvassing or other grassroots organizing. It should be mandatory training for anyone covering politics.
