I've seriously received at least six large fliers, full color front and back, daily for a week. The amount of money these politicians are pissing away on this stuff alone shows how stupid they are with money management. Who was ever swayed by a flier?

I don't think that the fliers are about swaying people one way or the other exactly. I think they're more about attempting to form a consensus. An appearance that one or another candidate is popular.

In other words.

Mental manipulation.

I can see that. People vote not even knowing who they're voting for or why, surely the popular one is the way to go. What could go wrong?

I have seen people enter voting booths with a stack of political fliers that they will presumably read before voting. I hate those people since they take way too long and keep others from using the booth. Always women too.

Boomers and their parents.

edit: I don't interact with an unconstitutional government so I have not voted since the Obamacare mandate went into effect - but we did get lots of those expensive mailers

Flyers are/were just as reliable as the Internet for facts, when no fact checking is ever done.
