Getting several full color political ads in the mail every day, is this some kind of job security thing for the post office? Does anyone even look at them, let alone change their vote based on a mailed political ad?

Instantly toss all of them along with almost everything else that comes via US mail in the recycling bin.

It just seems like a massive waste of money, along with the TV ads.

If my garage is open, these don't even make it into the house. They go straight to the garbage can.

I hate politics, and politicians. We had some local candidate walking around my neighborhood on Saturday morning. She rings my doorbell...I go answer.

Scumbag Politician: Hi sir, I'm

Me: I don't care. Go away. I hate politicians.

Scumbag Politician: Can I just leave a flyer?

Me: No.

Scumbag Politician: Okay (proceeds to stick one in my storm door after I close the front door)

Me, seeing her car parked around the corner from my house took the flyer and put it under the wiper blade in her car.

Scumbag Politician (after seeing me do it): Why did you do that sir?

Me: I told you I wasn't interested and don't want your lie filled propaganda.

Scumbag Politician: You could have just thrown it out

Me: And you could have listened when I said I didn't want it in the first place. At least now I know who not to vote for.

Scumbag Politician: You don't have to be a jerk.

Me: Well, you are, too, so I guess we're just 2 jerks. Have a nice day.

that's a person volunteering to serve her community most likely for an office so low on the ticket there are no perqs to the job

What if she was the one person who was going to change everything?

Further, even if u know who the candidate is, it's still heartwarming to get a mailer promoting them. For instance, I would LOVE to get mailer about Trump in the mail. It would just be a nice warm fuzzy.

I usually look at them. I'm not in a district that is often contested so people don't waste their money targeting us.

I love the extra effort to put the flyer on her car My house is right on the corner into my neighborhood. It was easy enough because she parked right next to my back yard. I booked it to the back door and just so happened to get to her car before her. The look on her face was delightful.

that's a person volunteering to serve her community most likely for an office so low on the ticket there are no perqs to the job What if she was the one person who was going to change everything?

Lake County is filled with as many shitty sycophantic douchebags as every other voting district in the state. Every single one of these asshole politicians are just trying to figure out what they get out of it...fuck the people.
