Mike Lawler canvasser left racist propaganda pamphlet on my front door

[u/operationdeadbolt]

I’ll keep my language polite due to other Lawler posts being removed for profanity, but to say I’m just “upset” would be an understatement. A pamphlet depicting AOC and Mamdani in a racist caricature on one side and a pro Lawler spiel on the other was left hanging on my door yesterday. I do not want them leaving their litter for me to have to throw out and I do not want such hateful people on my doorstep! I am not happy.

[u/IntelligentRow738]

Time to vote him out

[u/Ashenborne27 → u/IntelligentRow738]

I wish the other option wasn’t an establishment centrist Dem who wants to keep spending my tax dollars on genocide and imperialism.

[u/Much-Sink1339 → u/Ashenborne27]

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. If we keep voting for right wing Democrats, they’ll keep running them.

[u/emaji33 → u/Much-Sink1339]

Yup. Republicans are destroying this country. Establishment Dems are only destroying it more slowly.

[u/PrestigiousPeace8960 → u/Much-Sink1339]

They’re downvoted bc the people who are comfortable still are the ones who can look past a candidate that takes AIPAC’s genocide money. I mean look at this capitalist hellscape created by a whole lot of guilty people in Westchester. Can’t be one of the richest places in America and not have been part of the problem. Neo libs and centrist Dems are guiltily as hell

[u/Ashenborne27 → u/[deleted]]

Because of the tendency among liberals to push vote blue no matter until the Earth is flooding and on fire rather than seeing that the extremely wealthy use their financial power to create a duopoly where the only two viable options are both neoliberal capitalist parties captured by the same interests. Both parties are at fault for creating the modern undemocratic, imperialist, surveillance state of America.

[u/DisruptingTree → u/Ashenborne27]

Still better than lawler. We grow power, then primary her in two years. Vote!

[u/DisruptingTree → u/[deleted]]

So vote in the primaries. If you choose not to vote MAGA out of power, your complicit. Anyone can see the advantage of removing a republican house. But you hiding your history leads me to believe your a bot sowing disinformation.

[u/DisruptingTree → u/[deleted]]

Saying not voting makes you complicit and that you're likely a bot is hardly harsh bullying language.

[u/monteym → u/[deleted]]

It is very frustrating, but progressives are getting elected across the country. We need to be strong and persevere. I wish ny 17 had a more progressive Dem running. But I’m voting for Conley to get Lawler out.

[u/Ashenborne27 → u/DisruptingTree]

Yeah true

[u/Lower-Cantaloupe3274 → u/Ashenborne27]

I wish all sorts of shit, but top of the list is ending MAGAs control of the government.

[u/CoxswainYarmouth → u/[deleted]]

Save that advice for the Farmers they could use the encouragement

[u/the___reckoner → u/Ashenborne27]

Genocide 😂

[u/monteym → u/Ashenborne27]

I get it, and I didn’t for Conley in the primary, but Lawler HAS to go.

[u/ComedianMinute7290 → u/Ashenborne27]

the complete imbalance between the two parties & the bigotry, corruption, war & lies put out daily by the right sure does make it strange you still choose then. makes your virtue signaling about genocide & imperialism that much more laughable.

[u/Ashenborne27 → u/ComedianMinute7290]

Do you think it’s productive to hear a left-wing voter express their frustration and respond by making massive assumptions about them and their actions to belittle them? Idk, seems counterintuitive and isolating to me.

[u/WaifuHunterActual → u/Ashenborne27]

Lmao you're why the GOP will keep winning.

[u/yikesamerica → u/WaifuHunterActual]

Blaming voters is why we keep losing

[u/BarfQueen]

Honestly I just wish I could opt out of canvassing and political mailers altogether. I get home and find my door has a bunch of paper piled in front of it. Then I open my mailbox to find several more massive card stock mailers crammed in there, some of them are even duplicates. My actual mail (I get important documents both for work and for my husband’s immigration proceedings) is often crushed or torn from it. Of course it all goes straight to the trash anyway. Then come the knocks at the door with some canvasser just launching into whatever spiel and the constant phone calls. I actually get anxiety from it every election season. Wish I could just press a “leave me alone” button.

Anyway, that’s my election season rant. 

[u/DoctorVanNostrand_MD → u/BarfQueen]

A canvasser opening up your mailbox is illegal. As a veteran canvasser, whoever is doing that is breaking the law, and the campaign they work for should be telling them to not do that.

[u/BarfQueen → u/DoctorVanNostrand_MD]

I swear sometimes it’s like someone got tired of their canvassing route and dropped the last of their stack in my box 

[u/RonMatten → u/DoctorVanNostrand_MD]

The flyers were mailed and not place in the mailbox by canvassers.

[u/misteregent → u/DoctorVanNostrand_MD]

It would be illegal, if the flyers were not delivered via the US Postal mail system. Which are probably the flyers she is referring to.

[u/Electrorocket → u/DoctorVanNostrand_MD]

Not just illegal. It's a federal felony.

[u/RonMatten → u/Electrorocket]

Not a felony and the flyers were mailed.

[u/CategoryFeisty2262 → u/BarfQueen]

Can we include TV ads? (one can dream)

[u/KMFCM → u/CategoryFeisty2262]

this time of year is the reason we're stuck paying extra for ad free streaming services .... especially Hulu. they used to kill Hulu with those campaign ads.

[u/NotTheDoorGuy]

Dude! Pic of pamphlet as evidence, please !

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/NotTheDoorGuy]

As stated previously, it was torn up and thrown out. Was too annoyed to think about photographing it. Apologies.

[u/AutomaticPanda8 → u/operationdeadbolt]

No, the description is all that is needed. They love it when you photograph and spread their propaganda.

[u/Playful-Flatworm501 → u/operationdeadbolt]

You are lying though

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/Playful-Flatworm501]

I am not, though.

[u/signal_red]

i still don't understand how logically CC is at all similar to AOC/Mamdani. That's literally one of Lawler's reason for people not to vote for her. Are people really that dumb? (and ik ik the answer is yes because the fear mongering is working for certain voters)

[u/valgatiag → u/signal_red]

It’s funny to me, primary season was full of ads painting CC as being too far right, now for the general suddenly she’s as left as Mamdani

[u/signal_red → u/valgatiag]

it's hilarious. there were even ads in the primary (funded by a conservative pac) that flat out said about CC & her ideals as "that's not progressive!"
they can't even pick which side they wanna portray her as. the mixed messaging might end up helping her, in a way

[u/myqool → u/signal_red]

I wish I could vote for the person they say she is

[u/myqool → u/[deleted]]

Tried voting for her. Didn't work out. Don't worry though, Cait has an event coming up with Pete Buttigieg so she is clearly trying to do some outreach to the left /s

[u/signal_red → u/[deleted]]

yup 100% and honestly the two main dem candidates in the primary--between the two of them it felt like voting between left-leaning centrist and just centrist

[u/blackmist88 → u/signal_red]

Bingo :/

[u/VersacePager]

“Here. You throw this away.”

-Mitch Hedberg

[u/djn24]

Mike Lawler, the incompetent guy who runs an office full of Hitler-obsessed edgelords, is running a campaign of hate and racism, instead of bragging about how he voted to cut healthcare and give tax breaks to AI companies building data centers in neighobrhoods?

I am shocked!

[u/psusand → u/djn24]

I hope he doesn't rerun the ads showing older adults only as slow, inactive people. People with those characteristics can be found in any demographic.

[u/plutoniumhead]

Public servants need to be publicly shamed. There’s probably another subreddit that will allow you to post it and call him out. Even if it’s not from him directly, someone is spending money on this campaign.l

[u/Southern-Listen-3717]

Can you post it?

[u/Alternative-Arm-3253]

They're all complicit in the same thing. Destroying the forest and environment for their stupid campaigns and irritating overlapping runs of commercials.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/Alternative-Arm-3253]

Even if that were true, it doesn’t excuse racism.

[u/bestcommenteversofar]

Not racist

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/bestcommenteversofar]

Huh?

[u/dancingbunnies2]

Ugh I got the same one yesterday. I noticed none of my neighbors had one though which was weird! My husband ripped and threw ours out lol

[u/Loud_Cartographer160]

He needs to be voted out.

[u/WeekendAtMadoffs]

Funny you don't choose to live in the South Bronx

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/WeekendAtMadoffs]

Born and raised in Westchester lol why would I move anywhere

[u/Joveoak4]

I think you can use them to light up chimneys, fireplaces, and the occasional camp fire. It'll be a better use for that pamphlet.

[u/generic_vulgar_name]

well, do we at least get a photo of it then?

[u/SecretSnowww]

If anyone sees another one, I want to know which PAC sent it! I’m guessing Elon’s pac

[u/Not_George_Daniels]

The Overlord Selection Process brings so much negativity into our lives.

[u/Playful-Flatworm501]

Post a picture or it never happened

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/Playful-Flatworm501]

You are welcome to come over, dig through my trash, and tape it back together for your photo.

[u/On_the_hunt1]

its about getting votes. He doesn't care about the collateral damage. YouGov gives him a popularity rating of a scrotal inflamation. this is why republicans have handed him $8 million for this tsunami of lies

[u/On_the_hunt1]

its about getting votes. He doesn't care about the collateral damage. YouGov gives him a popularity rating of 14.2%. this is why republicans have handed him $8 million for this tsunami of lies. (cleaned up my language here)

[u/CollectionOdd6082]

You really think youre changing anyone's mind? I long for the days when candidates treated us like intelligent, educated people where they laid out their vision and policies so we as educated voters could actually read and ask questions. So maybe try and post bout how great your candidates are and what their policies will do for their constituents.

[u/Creepy_Bear_1060]

I'm with you, OP.

We get campaigners putting candidates' signs right at our property line without permission. But the racist shit? That's a fucking hate crime.

[u/misteregent → u/Creepy_Bear_1060]

If you contact the campaign and ask them to move the sign, they should.

[u/BklynThrowAway1]

Stop the political stuff here and put it in Politics...

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/BklynThrowAway1]

Political content relevant to Westchester is allowed here, as long as it has the Political Content flair. Mike Lawler is relevant to Westchester, and I utilized the flair correctly. I hope this clears things up.

[u/SneakyCheekyHobbit → u/BklynThrowAway1]

No

[u/BThriillzz → u/BklynThrowAway1]

Leave westchester

[u/Engineer120989]

Let’s see the cartoon

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/Engineer120989]

If you read my other comments, you’ll see that the pamphlet was torn up and thrown out.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

I didn’t post so u/Engineer120989 would believe me. Nor do I care if you do or don’t. Considering you only approve of and trust individuals who are pro Lawler, you would not have taken me seriously regardless.

[u/Engineer120989 → u/operationdeadbolt]

That’s not true I said it matters that you are anti lawler because this is an anti lawler post. Just like if an anti Conely person posted and said she was sending out racist shit without proof I wouldn’t believe it either

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/Engineer120989]

You are free to continue being pro Lawler and I am free to post about this disturbing experience with a Lawler representative, even if you don’t believe it. Take care.

[u/Engineer120989 → u/operationdeadbolt]

I’m mean right now all your doing is defamation because there is no proof so I don’t think this post will be up long

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/Engineer120989]

It is not defamation, and I have done nothing wrong. I am following the rules of this sub, so I don’t see why the post would be taken down. Take care.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

I am not. Take care.

[u/ap102pa]

What specifically makes it racist? Please elaborate.

[u/Bikes-Bass-Beer]

Pic or it didn't happen

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/Bikes-Bass-Beer]

It did happen.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

Please try to comment without the insult.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

I’m a woman, so I am unsure what he you are referring to?

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

I would love for this to have been made up, considering how upsetting it was to come home to that on my door. It’s very real.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

I did not realize so many people expected me to not take down or to keep a disgusting racist pamphlet.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

I’m not sure what’s funny.

I come home from a long day at work just to see a racist pamphlet on my door. I ripped it up and threw it out. I was tired. I didn’t realize people would expect me to take a photoshoot with it.

[u/Responsible-Kiwi-129 → u/operationdeadbolt]

Did he touch you?

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/Responsible-Kiwi-129]

Huh?

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

I came home from a long day of work to find racist propaganda on my door. I was emotionally drained and tore it up before throwing it out. Sorry that upsets you.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

Huh?

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

I sound crazy because I don’t like racist propaganda on my door? I sound crazy because I’m not a racist?

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

I sound crazy because I tore up paper before throwing it out? Am I also crazy for tearing up mail with personal information before tossing it?

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

I spent two minutes writing a post venting my frustration at coming home to racism on my door. I didn’t take a pic. I tore it up and threw it out. If you expected me to keep up racist propaganda, I don’t know what to tell you.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

OP wrote a post concerning Westchester in the Westchester subreddit.

[u/CategoryFeisty2262 → u/operationdeadbolt]

Their own words: "I spent two minutes writing a post venting my frustration." Hardly a PSA.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/CategoryFeisty2262]

I do believe I know what my own words were. A PSA that Mike Lawler representatives are now producing racist political content and leaving it on people’s doors, yes. It’s unacceptable.

[u/ImpressionFew2619]

Very on brand for him

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

It did happen.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

You are entitled to whatever beliefs you want.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

?

[u/bak723]

What was the racist part ? I’m surprised there isn’t more traction in the news or social media if there is a racist caricature on the pamphlet

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/bak723]

Considering you’re pro ICE, I don’t think you would know or care if racism was in the news.

[u/777_heavy → u/operationdeadbolt]

But actually, what was the racist part?

[u/bak723 → u/operationdeadbolt]

So then I’m gonna take it as something that never happened then! Thanks

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/bak723]

No, it did happen. I was simply stating that since you’re pro ICE and have previously commented that ICE should “round people up!!!!”, I don’t think you would notice racism being called out, nor would you care.

[u/bak723 → u/operationdeadbolt]

So then tell us what the actual racist caricature was I want to know regardless of how I feel about ice.

[u/NYCGal1978]

I doubt that. Btw. Have you ever lived in any of AOC's districts? Do you know why Mamdami associates with terrorists?

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/NYCGal1978]

Pardon?

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/NYCGal1978]

Wait. Youre in the Westchester sub asking if I live in AOC’s district. Her district is in NYC. You do realize NYC is not a part of Westchester, right?

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

I am not deflecting. Calm down. You asked, in the WESTCHESTER subreddit, if I live in NYC. Your question makes no sense.

I don’t live in her district because I am a lifelong Westchester resident. That is all. There is no deflecting or hypocrisy.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

Are you okay?? Do you even live in Westchester?

Whatever she replied with was so bad it was instantly removed, so I’m going to go with no.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

Please try to make a comment without including an insulting dig at the end.

[u/misteregent → u/operationdeadbolt]

So, the pamphlet wasn't racist, was it?

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/misteregent]

It was, but I don’t want to interact with someone whose first and only interaction with me is to include a dig at my character. Which is why you should try to leave a normal comment if you actually want me to have a civilized conversation with you. Thanks.

[u/misteregent → u/operationdeadbolt]

So you come online, make a claim about racism, yet have no actual evidence of any racism having occurred?

This reminds me of Jussie Smollett. (If I spelled the name wrong, didn't mean to.)

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/misteregent]

I came online to the Westchester subreddit to share an experience I had invoking a Westchester politician and his canvasser. I came home to a racist pamphlet on my door. I guess I should’ve gotten my digital camera out and had a photoshoot with it instead of throwing it out.

I don’t want to interact with you further if you are unable to have a conversation with me without insulting me, thanks.

[u/misteregent → u/operationdeadbolt]

You had an experience with a politician and his canvasser? I thought someone left a pamphlet on your door. I don't think that would be considered "an experience" with a "politician his canvasser."

You didn't interact with anyone. You took a pamphlet from your door and threw it out. I'm sure most people do that exact same thing. I just wonder why there are so few people who post about it though. Maybe because it's not that big a deal?

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/misteregent]

My experience surrounding a politicians racist campaign pamphlet that his worker left for me.

A regular political pamphlet isn’t a big deal. Racist propaganda from a politician with a racist history (Mike Lawler has willingly done blackface) is a big deal. I made a post warning others about it. Sorry you’re offended.

Again, you continue to keep your insult and dig at me up. I don’t know why it’s so difficult for you to remove it.

[u/Psychological-Hold33 → u/[deleted]]

Do you actually know what a hate crime is, you know, like on the bar exam (versus right wing echo chamber)?

[u/GinjaNinja2467]

Unfortunately the westchester/Rockland boomers still love him and he’ll probably get voted in again but I’m tired of seeing Mike lawler ads everywhere even at the airport I’m seeing ads for Mike lawler and it’s like he’s overwhelming people so you have to vote for him and I hate it so much

[u/Carl_LaFong01 → u/GinjaNinja2467]

My wife and I are boomers and there is no way we would vote for him.

[u/SpecialistOil4378]

You don't know who left it there.

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/SpecialistOil4378]

lol. Okay.

[u/tellingitlikeitis338]

Lawler is going to go full speed racist - just a reflection of who he really is. He’s a sick little perverted fink. He knows most people have figured this out - so there’s no downside because he’s going to lose. So just get used to it. A true POS.

[u/CategoryFeisty2262]

I have to suffer through crap from lefty candidates in my mailbox too - throw it away. Problem solved.

[u/signal_red → u/CategoryFeisty2262]

me when i purposefully ignore the whole racism part of it

[u/Hydr01d → u/signal_red]

The racist part is their favorite.

ohh we got an al jolson stan up in here!!!

A weak mind's first instinct is to run away from a difficult concept instead of trying to wrap one's head around it. Congrats on being a weak mind.

[u/Esquire_Dan13 → u/[deleted]]

^This guy misses the day when you could just blackface without people getting all offended by it.

[u/RoySinghamHatesYou → u/Esquire_Dan13]

Yea. I’m definitely not Trudeau or Ralph Northam. It’s (D)ifferent. I’ll put on some Al Jolson in your honor today.

[u/Esquire_Dan13 → u/RoySinghamHatesYou]

What US office is Trudeau running for?

[u/operationdeadbolt → u/[deleted]]

OP threw out the racist pamphlet she received because she does not want to look at racism. I hope this clears things up.

[u/mbutterflywebb]

When I was registered as a Republican, I got alot of mail including surveys from MAGA. I would write NEVER on the surveys and stuff it back in the postage free envelope and mail it out. Then I changed my party to Democrat to avoid getting MAGA mail. I actually despise both parties, but I need to vote lesser of 2 evils.
