Like Fish In A Barrel

An industrious young friend of mine occasionally earns extra cash by collecting signatures for political causes and campaigns. In his recent quest to secure the required number of names to get Robert Kennedy Jr. onto Maine's presidential ballot he was met with scoffs, guffaws and insults, ultimately earning less than fifty bucks for himself over the course of several days. 

Now he is out doing the same to get Cornel West onto Maine's presidential ballot and he reports he can't get them fast enough. As he put it, "It's like shooting fish in a barrel. The minute I tell people who don't know anything about the candidate that he's a Socialist, they literally grab the pen from my hand to sign."

Cornel West 
Following is a bit of West philosophy: "West has called the U.S. a "racist patriarchal" nation where white supremacy continues to define everyday life. West attributes most of the black community's problems to "existential angst derived from the lived experience of philosophical wounds and emotional scars inflicted by white supremacist beliefs and images permeating U.S. society and culture."

Whereas Robert Kennedy Jr. doesn't like government-mandated vaccines.
