Got this creepy bullshit in the mail today.

Glad I voted for Harris/Walz

    Seriously?

    implies

    What is implied depends on the tone in which it is said.

    From the GOP that “whether or not you vote is public record” in a sudden red text, and “your family friends and coworkers will know”, along with fucking binoculars carries a very sinister tone.

    The Dems “Thank you!” and “Please vote” does not. The whether you vote is public record looks to me pretty matter of fact. Why it’s even said is a bit out of place, which is what I said was poorly worded.

    This is not “both sides same” like the other guy suggested.

      Well, being read rather than said, I’d argue the tone is inferred by the reader.

      And in any case, as a privacy focused individual, I’m not exactly crazy about either. I’m also not crazy about junk mail, so junk mail that implies it’s watching me in any form, I double don’t like. Y’all killing trees for this fucking bullshit?! No thanks.

          I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley. People can be creeped out by things that don’t creep you out, you know.

          And what, you like junk mail that is 100% just a waste of resources in a world where we’re hurdling towards total climate annihilation? It could have just as easily been an email everyone ignored rather than a mailer everyone ignored.
