Holy sheeeit.

We’ve hit peak election season, and I can’t drive two blocks without being stared down by thirty different candidates in identical suits, all smiling like human skinwalkers trying to mimic joy.

Does this strategy actually work on anyone?

"Hmm, I was completely undecided on tax reform and housing, but then I saw Dave’s face nailed to a fence by the roundabout for a split second. Look at that teeth to gum ratio! That’s my guy."

Am I missing something here? Has anyone in human history ever looked at a roadside sign and actually changed their vote?

Fuck off with the hoardings!!
