So someone is always just out trying to counter that potential sentiment?
Why wouldn’t an article like this make people want to vote more, incase their preferred candidate might be losing?
You don’t have to treat me like I’m stupid with the “I’m surprised you’re so dumb” last paragraph. Not everyone is out calculating and thinking about how to best manipulate the public. I’m just tired of seeing bot like comments that don’t really make sense and I asked, my fucking bad. I promise in the future I will think twice before commenting or asking shit on lemmy ever again. Its dead here as it is.
It’s just weird and off putting to see someone grouchy about exhortations to vote. I don’t think you’re dumb, and maybe you genuinely are just cranky about this type of comment, but it’s a weird place to put your energy.
I am perfectly happy to expend internet discourse energy on encouraging people to vote, but it seems lame for you to spend energy harshing that, is my point.
It’s very simple.
-Potential voters read an article that says there is a lot of early voting.
-They consciously or subconsciously associate the increase in voting with higher participation from their side
-They conclude that this thing is on lock and stay home
I am a little surprised that needs explaining but if the worst that comes of making the comment is annoying you, no offense but I’ll live.

My one question wasn’t much energy. You didn’t have to write so much.

Have a good night.
