Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

No it's fucking not. The people who turn out for this kind of shit are almost all terminally Lib brained. You'd have more luck canvassing at a nearby 7/11, unironically.
Some of them are, some of them are not. The only way to know is by showing up and talking to them and agitating.
At 7/11
"I see you are drinking the new SuperDuperFlavorBlast slurpee."
Warily - "Yes."
"I would like to speak to you for a moment about communism."
Runs away.

At a No Kings protest
"I see you are holding the new SuperDuperTrumpBaby protest sign."
Warily - "Yes."
"I would like to speak to you for a moment about communism."
In a loud voice "Warning everybody! Warning everybody! Communist! Communist! Shield wall! Shield wall!"
I'm not talking to them about communism directly, I'm talking to them about an org that will get them in an environment where if they they rip off a take from Hasan's stream it would be considered "moderate". That's not a bad place for people who are genuinely ready to make something happen, but don't have a deep political education.
I've done both. I'm correct on this one, sorry.
