Got this creepy bullshit in the mail today.

Glad I voted for Harris/Walz

    Are they? It literally points out “Who you voted for is secret” on the ad, right above where it says that people will know if you voted.

      While true, I have been scratching my head wondering why this rash of ads is happening, why they are so intent on making sure everyone knows their election participation is available to all.

      One possibility: if you sit it out, people will know and blame you if your candidate loses.

      Another possibility: if you vote, and the “wrong” person wins, you’ll be suspected of voting for the “wrong” person.

      I don’t know which they are going for, but it has tickled my “creepy” meter, and this was before I saw it associated specifically with Trump/Vance (the ads I’ve seen mention no candidate and just seems a vague go out and vote pitch)
