‘Carpool canvassing’: Democrats’ new strategy in a MAGA Houston suburb | Opinion

The Houston Chronicle has an opinion piece from the head of a Democratic club talking about how they need flexible tactics to talk to voters in Cypress. Here's a key quote:

Having doors slammed in our faces wasn’t fun. But even worse was having an 18-, 19-, or 20-year-old on your list. When an older person answered the door and saw our Dem shirts, the encounter too often ended with the person screaming that we clearly had the wrong info and that we were insane to be asking for their child. (Never mind that their child had in fact voted in a Democratic primary, likely while away at college.)

We quit going to those houses. We didn’t want to "out" young people to their Republican parents.
