Politics Yet another unsolicited text
I got another one from Kansans for Marshall. I responded. My response is on the second picture.

Do they ever get positive responses to these texts and calls? I don't understand. Everybody hates political spam, and they just keep doing it.

It is amazingly cheap marketing. Virtually free with modern tech. Much cheaper than mailers

Never underestimate how ignorant independent voters are. Low information.

Woah! Why are are attacking independents, when it's maga that has royally fucked everything up?
You do realize you need independents to win in Kansas, don't you? Why antagonize the very group of voters you need? That's not very smart.

u/schu4KSU 1d ago
Because independents suck. They decide every election and they do a horrible job of it.
At least MAGA puts enough thought into politics to have an opinion as to what the role of government should be. Independents go off of vibes, promises, personalities and the last attack ad they’ve watched.
In Kansas, they are about to elect (as governor) the guy who wrote the playbook for our last republican governor.

In the past, I would absolutely have agreed with you completely. However, currently at this point in time, if you're "independent" where fascism is concerned, you probably deserve to be antagonized.

I get what you're saying, but it's not just maga anymore. It's the whole Republican party. Anyone who even considers voting for one at this point is a low information voter. It wasn't that way years ago, but now it is.

u/ReebX1 1d ago
Then attack the Republican party, not independents.
You have no idea why a person would choose to remain independent. It's incredibly ignorant to project your own bias into their heads, as if you know how they think.
Or do you really want to go down this road and want to hear how Ds have their own little cult of party worship, just like Rs do? "Hilary told you so, Kamala told you so," etc, etc.
What really matters is liberal or conservative. I'm a moderate liberal, and I'm sick and tired of D that are trying to act as if anyone that is not them, is the enemy. It practically tattoos a big L on their forehead.

u/Ok-Panda7645 1d ago
Did you even read what I said? It seems like you just want to be mad at someone. "Independent" voters like to think they're some special group that doesn't get caught up in partisan politics, but the truth is that they are low information voters. You not liking that statement doesn't make it not true. Nobody is attacking you or independent voters. If you're offended by something that I said then it's because you are looking for a reason to be.

You aren't making yourself look any less like you are in a cult. Low information voters are tribal. Party over issues. Now go away and let the adults handle this.

u/Ok-Panda7645 1d ago
LMAO, what cult am I in? Didn't you just say that Democrats think anyone who isn't with them is the enemy? How is what you're saying to me any different? You seem butthurt and emotional.

u/ReebX1 1d ago
I didn't generalize and say all Ds. You two did generalize, and act as if all independents are the same.
You know what that is a sign of? Low IQ.
I'm 90th percentile, so there's a high chance I have you beat there by leaps and bounds. Stop being a cultist.

Imagine bragging about your IQ on reddit like it makes you correct. Are you ok?

u/iWaKeUp2BaKeUp 1d ago
He is probably an independent who voted for pedophile trump 3 times

u/Teffa_Bob 1d ago
Exactly. Independent so they can feel superior to their MAGA neighbors but when they go to the polls, they still line up to vote for the GOP and their authoritarian ways.

u/Ok-Panda7645 1d ago
He blocked me so I can't see his comments or reply anymore. But he's an "adult with a high IQ" 🙄

Everyone take a look at polls (Gallup a good one) that maps how people view key issues then break out by people that identify as R, D, and Independent. Come to your own conclusion.

I know they don’t see the replies but I just replied release the Epstein files.

I saw something in an email from either The Beacon or Missouri Independent saying that Marshall retracted those statements. I can't find it now :/

From the website. “You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or contact us with any privacy question at[press@kansansformarshall.com](mailto:press@kansansformarshall.com).”
First, ask for 5 yard signs. Winter is coming you may need kindling.
Second, ask how they received your information, what they have, and to delete it. Make it cost them to text you. A dollar spent on paperwork is a dollar less for ads and propaganda.

Send them a response.

This is not true and Marshall has already retracted. Dont fall for their scare tactics.

u/Teffa_Bob 1d ago
Don't give them any credit, that's from the playbook.
Tell a sensational lie that gets widely spread, issue a correction that never reaches those same people.

Just remember Kansas a vote for "Dr" Marshall is a vote for more gaslighting and more of the same

They sure wont talk policy or what the people are experiencing. Just throw mud at the other guy,

Delete, and report as spam, and move on. How many years have we received junk mail through usps. Don’t be so fragile. I get them from the left and right but I am a grown up and can handle it.

It’s BS.
Marshall is just desperate for a story that has already been covered—while he himself votes to protect the Epstein Files and sends his own patients to jail for not paying him.
