Have political postings on GFY ever influenced your opinion?

Exactly! LOL.

People who have made it a full time job to post BS and lies all day and night are so transparently stupid it's comedic!!!

As someone who has actually worked on political campaigns, one thing you are taught right away is not to attempt to sway or change someones mind on who they should vote for. Not only is not worth the potential physical confrontation, it is completely inefficient.

While there are people that post all day and talk political shit to friends and family, there are much smarter people out there registering people to vote in targeted locations, canvasing houses, making phone calls, and using other legal tactics to help get people to the polls. (Offering rides to seniors or those who don't have transportation. Visiting poll lines and bringing stacks of folding chairs, coffee, refreshments, and holding places in lines for bathroom breaks)

I am personally responsible for more than a dozen votes and I may very well be responsible for several dozens of votes, if not a hundred or more.

That is how you win an election. Not by shooting your dumb mouth off on GFY.
