I actually came across a creepy campaign talking to my ol man yesterday. He was telling me he's part of a postcard campaign to "get voters to the polls"

I thought I'd anything it was voter intimidation. He was instructed to hand-write letters to a short list of people in NYC. There were 4 options of pre-made comments to leave, one of which was (iirc)

'thank you for being a voter! who you vote for is private but whether you vote is public. Please vote this November 5 election"

The other choices were a bit more innocuous but.... Can you imagine being brown and getting handwritten no-return-address postcard from someone across the country who knows your name somehow?

Fishy.

I got one of those just last night and I'm tryna do the math on "did you worthless settler jizzstains really blitz my house with a dozen different 'pwease vote' flyers because I told you in no uncertain terms that genocidal crackers are not allowed to text or talk to me?"
