100. Swing state voter here.

Fri Nov 15, 2024, 04:32 AM

Nov 2024

Social media, direct messages, push polls, etc were the reason we received the low voter turn out. Voter apathy I recall.

After looking through my phones spam folder I found multiple text messages from trump supporting Super PACs. If I received that many that dumped to my spam folder, how many other people didn't have a spam folder setup and saw all the trump garbage.

I had an acquaintance, I had not spoken with in many years, reach out to me to "make sure I voted the right way." She is a retired federal worker and fell for the social media trap pushed out by trump supporting Super PACs. A very nice lady that changed her registration from (D) to (I.) We spoke for about 10 minutes before ending the conversation, sadly I think she voted for trump, and (D) down ballot.
