I always find it odd that a thing trollies do is declare their favored (funding?) side is going to win, especially “in a landslide”.
I kind of expect it is effective otherwise they wouldn’t keep doing it (or maybe I shouldn’t assume competence?).
It just seems like “these guys are gonna super win” doesn’t motivate people to take time out of their day and vote for the people they want to win. If anything it should shave some votes off as complacency takes effect. Like people not voting for HRC because Trump “only” had a one out of six shot of winning so “clearly” they didn’t have to go to the polls and vote.
Are there really a ton of people out there who want to be part of the winning team so they only go vote for someone/something if they expect it to win? Do they vastly outnumber the people who see victory for their “side” and decide not to vote?
It seems like the effective strategy would be to forcefully assert (even if a lie) why voting “your way” will make things better, and failure to do so makes things worse, and not project “wins”.
I suppose it could also be that for the people who are easily manipulated by propaganda they want “to win”?
Maybe my continued failure to understand how to properly manipulate people also explains why I don’t run a trolley farm Or maybe the is because I have a half ration of morals?
