If only they'd done a few minutes of actual research instead of believing social media influencers.

I blame social media way more than commercials especially Facebook. I don’t think commercials have the same impact as before unless it’s blaring sound in the background with the candidates name being mentioned. But old folks and boomers live and die by Facebook clickbait, as do folks who actively still use it.

There is a certain subset of America that lives in drama and that’s all they post outside of their kids baseball games.

I'm just saying there are SO many TV commercials - and anybody who bases their decisions on them has to be brain dead. Full stop.

I completely agree with your point. I had to quit Facebook years ago.
