Bro wait like a week or so and it’ll go back to normal. It’s like 10 days before the election, what do you expect?

Yeah, and the minute the election is over, the 2024 presidential race begins. We're in for a solid two year shit show!

But the presidential race isn't specific to RI, so there shouldn't be much of it on here. It's literally rule #1.

Yeah that’s a great idea. We should all change so that you don’t have to encounter information that you have deemed questionable.

Or you could just not read the political posts.

Or people could just verify the information they get from a Reddit sub.

Sadly you're going to have to suffer thru this for the next 2 weeks like we all have to.

I wish I could ask YouTube that very same question… I need to change my location to get rid of all these campaign attack ads.

I feel like that’s my main issue - it’s all just negative and fear based. You can’t build a platform off not being your opponent.

I agree, attack ads pretty much say… look at my opponent! He’s the worst of two evils.

I’m an elderly woman of social security, Seth has my back… “Seth” social security will be insolvent by 2035. Elderly woman… I don’t care I’ll be dead by then.

Definitely sick of the ridiculous commercials. I can't imagine voting for someone because of a commercial that twists and distorts facts. Then again, I can't imagine calling a lawyer like the heavy hitter because he has a catchy commercial. Apparently the commercials work.

Politics in Rhode Island…….just slander your opponent and don’t actually provide any policy reforms or initiatives, just slander. Oh, and make sure you attach them to an extremist political movement.

I’m from Iowa. They have the first caucus for the presidential primaries. You start getting political ads at least six months in advance. They’re almost every ad there is on tv. The politicians spend a big amount of their budget on Iowa ads. The best thing about Rhode Island is the lack of political ads.

You can just block the "politics" flair if on here if you don't want to see politics content. The flair system here is a pretty tight ship.

I second that, we need to vote these democrat crooks out. They preyed on us during Covid and took advantage of us, heads need to roll.
