THREAD on @AOC door knocking for @BernieSanders in Des Moines, Iowa:

First, @AOC spoke to volunteers ahead of canvassing. “We’re in this living my room today because we know that, because this is more than just a presidential campaign. And this is more than just the caucuses. This is about what is going to happen in our lifetimes.”

Then, @AOC started her route.

The first woman @AOC spoke to was a woman who by the end of their conversation committed to caucus for @BernieSanders. “None of the candidates would be here without Bernie,” the woman told @AOC on why she supports Sanders.

At the next house, @AOC talked to a man who said he supported @BernieSanders because he wants to cancel student debt. “I was lucky to pay mine off” the man said. “There’s a lot of people that need some help and Bernie wants to help them and that’s why I’ve keys been a big fan.” *

*the man told @AOC that his wife was at the bank and would be sad to have missed meeting her.

The next house @AOC went to, no one answered.

While walking to the next house, @AOC was stopped by a former Dem. party chair. He said he supported @JoeBiden but @BernieSanders was his second choice. He thinks M4A will “hurt us in the general.” @AOC: “If I can get at least a number 2 that’s what I’m doing here.”

*remember the house @AOC went to where she spoke to a man about student debt, but his wife was at the bank? The man brought his wife to find @AOC in the street. The woman shared how getting surgery at 21 put her in so much debt that she was forced to “give up on [her] dreams.”
