I’ve mostly seen YouTube ads so not sure how to share those here. I happened to get another postcard today though, with the exact same wording is the one I linked to elsewhere in this thread:
If you look at votingmatters.org it says:
Paid for by the Democratic National Committee (202) 863-8000
This communication is not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.
This is the first clearly partisan one I’ve seen.
Mostly I’ve seen them as videos that plainly state. “Who you vote for is secret. Whether you vote is public record”. I did get one handwritten postcard saying the same.
I found them mostly “interesting” as a concept, but others have felt they’re threatening:
The first one I saw I looked up the “Paid for by…” entity and it was a Kamala PAC so I just kinda assumed they all were before seeing this.
Both parties are running these style ads in my area.
This is BY FAR the creepiest iteration I’ve seen.

Did I just stumble into the sovcit pipeline?!
Provisional ballots can be held back until a voter’s eligibility is verified but once a ballot is put into the general pool there is no way.
And that’s separate from not being able to count a ballot that was incorrectly filled. Those ballots are not tied to a specific voter.
1% Subscribed
98% Local/New
1% All
…or $44 billion for Twitter…
I mean It’s just Cheerios in tomato juice
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think giving an example of an extreme liberal would help answer the question. Did you have some public figure in mind? If not, what are some examples of their beliefs that you’re wanting to push them to the center on?
You can tell Elon is a genius because he gets people to pay to do prototype testing for him.
It highkey kinda sucks tho, being implicitly all like “I I can’thave Apollo do Reddit than nobody can have it!”. Its really childish and selfish in the way it fucks over almthe people who grew dependant on it for their Reddit-type social fix app
Maybe I’ve missed something but as far as I’m aware he hasn’t done anything to try and stop Voyager; he just didn’t give it a seal of approval.
As a practical matter, I wouldn’t invest any time or money into the guy’s projects anymore not because he doesn’t do amazing UI/UX/App work, but because he is not someone is seems to plan long-term or is advised by anyone who could have told him this would be a problem legally or administratively etc.
I think he absolutely does plan ahead. The fact that he was able to absorb the expense of all the refunds he was forced to issue for subscriptions that extended beyond his ability to access the API speaks directly to that.
Not to mention his foresight in being able to bring receipts when Spez and the other Reddit admins attempted to smear him in the press.
I think you feel more strongly about it than I do, so I’m not trying to change your mind or anything. I’m just adding my perspective.
I know; I understand where he was coming from and kinda get it, but I’m not going to stop using it.
Oh Christian…when will you learn you’re not big enough to disrupt existing power structures?
You’re an Aaron Swartz; not a Sam Altman…

You can’t really generalize. It matters as much as the person you’re talking to or about thinks it matters.
If they don’t care; fine. But most people want to be properly gendered.
In most discussions here it’s not really relevant or important but it’s simple enough to use gender neutral pronouns when someone’s gender is unknown
How long ‘til this becomes a GOP plank?
Here’s an Imgur upload which I should have done in the first place, but I didn’t know how bad lemmy would compress it:
I finally caught another of the YouTube ads and it was paid for by futureforwardusa.org.
The message, again, was very generic with friendly animation and cheery music. The message was the same. “Your vote is private; whether you vote is public” with the addition of “make a plan to vote”.
