Can someone invent a contraption so that once you have voted, you don't need to hear or see any more campaign ads?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33484points) 10 hours ago

In Georgia, early voting started this morning. I’m probably going to vote tomorrow afternoon.

Wouldn’t it be nice if, once you had voted, you were in some way immune from hearing campaign ads on radio and TV?

Yes please! I’m already trying to put my head in the sand and listening to much less politics again.

…and have the campaign workers take down their candidate’s signs ffs! Do the job after as well as before.

@smudges 100% agree – the streets are plastered with campaign signs that never get removed.

Thank goodness my neighbors don’t put up political signs or flags. They do around the corner from me, but not my street. Not yet anyway. With each new house sale you never know what might happen.

I’m so tired of the same old same old attack ads on TV for the same candidates. It’s really tiring and redundant.

I gave this a GQ because it’s a great thought.

I wish! I voted already too and I donated all I plan to donate and every day I get about 20 badgering fundraising texts. it’s driving me crazy. And the TV ads are so nasty.

Around here (Georgia being a swing state), I am getting 9–10 text messages per day which I route to Spam. 80% of them are from the Trumpies or the Republican party, the remaining are from local Dems.

In 2016 someone put a trump sign in my yard without my permission.
I spray painted a red circle on both sides with a red line through the circle!

Good move!

I take it there was no room for SUX on the sign? ;-)
