I had a fairly similar experience with a green party candidate who came to my door one afternoon. While we didn't agree over everything, particularly the right-to-food which does exactly nothing to guarantee food for people, I very much enjoyed talking with her. Its nice to calmly be able to bring up a few concepts that are necessary to earning my vote, eg., "Do you understand climate change?".

Exactly! On the phone with Bill, he didn't want to "polarize the conversation" by saying whether he was in support of Trump policies (which, some may argue that not condemning is the same as supporting), so I asked him other questions, like "Do you support the results of the presidential election?" and "What are your thoughts on alternative energy solutions?".
