The Election Aftermath

Categories
Politics

The election is over. I was so looking forward to November 9th. Not necessarily because I was looking forward to the results of the vote, but because I couldn’t wait for the tv ads, mailings, emails and text messages to end.
I found the emails and text messages to be particularly annoying. And, like a bad whatever, I couldn’t get rid of them. Unsubscribing didn't help.                                                 I didn’t realize that I was a constituent of every candidate across the country…. and a sought-after potential donor.


As I reached for my phone to write this blog late on Wednesday, a drop-down appeared. Another email, asking for a donation to help with the counting of the outstanding ballots.


And there is a run-off In Georgia in four weeks. 

I fear it will never end.

And the polling calls and their inaccurate results...

Most people had made up their mind weeks before the election, all these ads were just annoying via phone and TV

Too many mailers and texts, i agree. I would pick up my mail and head right to the recycle can without even looking at which candidate it was from. Waste of money, resources and strains the environment.

I agree. All those emails are choking my email box and the emails I want to see are being drowned out and sometimes missed.
