Got this creepy bullshit in the mail today.

Glad I had voted for Harris/Walz

    Honestly doesn’t this sort of message actually help Democrats more than anything? Do they not realize the GOP has no chance if the voter turnout increases? Even if that circumstance might favor Trump, they’d be torn to shreds in the senate and governor races.

      They might target it to specific areas. The gerrymandering software is so good this days, with access to all the data you can predict pretty accurately how any area is going to vote

    the message aside, this is one of the shittiest designs I’ve seen. the text is all over the place, there’s no clear hierarchy of information… what a mess.

          Ducking people is obviously against both the instance rules and the sub rules.

          I’m not too concerned, your comments will be deleted shortly. You may even get a ban.

          I hope it was worth sounding clever, cause what you did is pretty stupid.

              They’re the one who put my address in a comment. Don’t blame me for what some sociopath did.

                I did it just to show you that you should block it out. It’s not your full address, just the block number.

                  Don’t act like you were doing me a favor by posting my address publicly. If you thought I should block it out, you could’ve messaged me privately, but you didn’t.

                  Sociopaths do what you do. You did an obviously shitty thing, and then tried to blame me for it.

                  Congratulations on that by the way. Being a sociopath, that is. Try not to murder any cats.

        good! but still, why do they get to be the ones who do all the intimidation? i think it’s time we made them scared.

          Because they’re shitty people and threats and intimidation are the only way they can win. We don’t do the same thing, because we are better than them. Stooping to their level would make us just as bad.

    i think it’s all going to come down to how badly do women not want to be wholly owned by their MAGAt men. that’s going to determine whether the american project was successfully killed by putin.

    I prefer the French Left take on the idea. They did a campaign awhile back titled: “The fascists are voting, are you?” With a big portrait of the most well-known far right politician in the country. In the end they had to pay a 3000€ fine but I’d say it was worth it.

      3000€ seems like barely a drop in the bucket of campaigning costs, totally worth it lol. To the point that’s not even a disincentive.

      Please tell me you picked this image on purpose.

      Just outside the voting location, a giant billboard that says, “Vote yes, says the terrifying building sized gremlin of the state”

    It also strongly encourages people to return their ballots in person likely because the GOP is already set to challenge mail-in ballots as “rigged”.

      Hey! HEY! That is a vile insinuation! They’d never do that and also they only suppress votes for the other party and those don’t count anyway, so what if they do it when it’s perfectly fine seeing how they could never win if they allowed the election to be run fairly, and in conclusion, voter suppression is great and everybody should do it (except for non-republicans).

      Wait, what were we talking about again?

    This is “interesting” to be sure.

    Its frankly terrible how much stalking the campaigns do. This isn’t something that is Republican or Democrat. They wonder why they are having issues with voter turn out but then they do and turn elections into a massive invasion of personal rights. They want to stalk you to get you to believe the current propaganda.

    You know what would help in the current political turmoil? Better privacy and transparency.
