      Your comment reinforces the point I am making - people are easily swayed by the inconsequential

    They work, but they don’t get people to switch sides. They get people off their sofas and voting.

    If you think everyone in your area support the other side you may think it’s pointless voting and stay home. If you know others in your area share and you’re not alone, you’re more likely to feel your vote will have power.

    I think they’re like the same people that have the Calvin pissing on Ford, Chevy, whatever, on their cars. They really need you to know their opinion lol

    (Outside of my constant commenting) I’m kind the exact opposite. I don’t even wear clothing with logos or images on them lol I want you to know nothing about me when I’m out in public.

    I only comment so much because I’m fairly anonymous here. The moment someone replied to me with my own picture or name, I’d delete my profile, burn my phone, and probably never open the site again lol

    Unless you personally know the politician, like a family member or friend, I see absolutely no reason to advertise for any of them. I think it just shows how stupid you are, no matter who you’re promoting.

    Don’t know if they work, but a lot of expense has gone into making and distributing them. So in the off chance they do anything, up it goes. Other than voting and contributing to campaigns it’s the only other thing I can do.
