Reply to Is this a threat?? I've gotta 20 similar mailings, but this one is the most aggressive. by freakon
It’s a guilt based thing trying to get you to think, “man if I don’t vote these guys will know.” It’s trying to play off of a established sense of duty to vote. But targeted at those that don’t vote often. Im in politics and these things are super common. Also check out who paid for it, it’s not Democrats but a left leaning organization. A key difference because they usually have worse marketing, worse data, and can’t coordinate with candidates.
These orgs left and right pump this stuff out and send it out usually with horrible data on who they are trying to target. Trust me it isn’t an intentional threat because the PAC doesn’t have the time or want to track down people, it’s just a poorly worded mass flyer. They also only spend money during elections so I really doubt they will follow up after the election with any type of flyer. But next cycle they will buy data on whether you voted and send something out like “you didn’t vote last time, maybe you care enough this time.” And you will probably get that whether you voted or not.
Hope this gave some insight on how these things work

Reply to Connecticut lawmakers considering legislation to give terminally ill patients medical aid in dying by 76before84
Close family member recently died and this would have saved them and us from so many issues. They were begging to die saying, “god please let me rest” for their last week and I’m sure was feeling that way for much of the time before. If you’re done and close to death you should be allowed to go.
