Title: Why don't political yard signs...
Post by: Fly320s on October 28, 2020, 08:19:00 PM
Why don't those political yard signs have the candidate's political party listed?  They used to do that.

Anyone know why that has changed?

I've noticed that primarily with democrat candidates. It's almost like they're don't really want people to realize they are aligned with the forces of evil.

Here in SC we have a Dem candidate challenging Lindsay Graham. His name is Jamie Harrison. He has not admitted in one single campaign ad or sign that he’s a Democrat and is pushing a “work together” message. His campaign is all bankrolled by the national Dem party with a shitton of money pouring in. He is also using a quite underhanded tactic of advertising heavily, directly and indirectly (by calling him “Too conservative for SC”) for a Constitution party candidate named Bill Bledsoe that withdrew weeks ago but whose name is still on the ballot in an effort to split away Graham’s potential voters...and its working based on online comments.

Yup,  that's here all day too.  Of course,  I'm in enemy territory, so they don't even pretend.

I think this is better. I wish the party weren't listed next to the candidate on ballots, too. Shouldn't we support policies, not parties?

For the percentage of the population that actually bothered to inform themselves enough to make a policy based decision,  I'm not convinced our current form of democracy/representative republic is still a good idea.  It worked on paper,  but you can't point at the current self perpetuating oligarchy and tell me that's a functional representation of how this country is supposed to work.

No,  I don't have a better idea.  The Founders gave us a blueprint,  the current "people" are too dumb and lazy to make it work.
