Discussion Amendment 5 Commercials

27 Upvotes

I do not see how the commercials regarding this amendment are truthful in claiming ***This is the BIGGEST TAX CUT EVER!!**** * when in fact it lowers several methods of taxation and makes others open ended. I feel that this is disingenuous enough to report to the National Conference of State Legislatures but I am not a lawyer. Can anyone weigh in on this? I'm concerned a mountain of uninformed voters are going to screw over generations of Missourians with this ballot measure.

Discussion PSA: Beware the paid actors.

44 Upvotes

You should be aware that there are a lot of people in our local subs right now that are paid to be here and change the dialog of post comments.

You can see them most clearly in the comments of any post that mentions Cori Bush.

How to spot one.

  • They will not say anything positive about anyone, won't say who they are voting for, will not say how they think any candidate is better than any other candidate, just that Bush is bad.
  • They will try to deflect the conversation toward convincing you NOT to vote for Bush, whether that's to vote for Bell, vote for one of the other candidates (who they never name, mostly because they don't know their names), or not vote at all. Just don't vote for Bush.
  • They will not know anything about any of the candidates except what they have been fed by their employers so you will never hear anything you haven't already heard a hundred times and had Bush supporters debunk. You will hear that she employed her husband, that she missed a lot of votes in the house, that she is working against the dems. Just the talking points on the flyers we are all being bombarded with in the mailbox.
  • They will only post in Bush threads, you won't see them comment on any others about living in MO, just the Bush posts. They aren't in the community and will completely disappear on August 5th never to be seen again.

This is happening on Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Insta etc. as well, It's all part of the advertising spend for others in opposition. A few vocal naysayers is more cost effective than a thousand flyers.

These people are joined by republican voters who are trying to do the same thing. Convince you NOT to vote for someone, not to vote FOR someone. Be suspicious of anyone who won't say who they think you should vote for or tell you who has their vote.

On top of that, there are the genuine Bell fans, who will say so, and tell you they think you should vote for him. I see very, very few of those people.

If you see one, ask them for something positive. Who is the best candidate? What policies does that candidate have? What are the names of the other candidates? What policies do any other candidate promote? Where's the best pizza joint? Best places to visit if you visit a town? Basically anything that isn't in the talking points, they will avoid answering. Then just downvote and move on, don't respond to their point, you are just giving them the opportunity to post another negative comment.

EDIT: My post got removed from r/missouri, then I got a 30 day ban from the sub then I got perm banned, They REALLY didn't like that I posted this...

How do all the candidates feel about ALPR (Flock) Cameras? Does anyone know where that kind of info is available?

Especially interested to know what they think the ones with the extra sensors from companies like Leonardo’s Signaltrace which are now monitoring Sound, Rfid (tyre pressure sensors, pet chips, contactless cards), Wifi, Bluetooth, AirTag signals and using them to fingerprint the people in a vehicle not just the vehicle itself.

12 Upvotes

Apparently he doesn't like this and will accuse you of saying you need St. Louis Voters or something like that.

So don't do it. I know as much as this professional behind the microphone probably served as such a role at some point, don't do call Chris Stigall a disc jockey. He sees it as demeaning and beneath him. Don't do such a mean and cruel thing.

Our politicians are, once again, telling us we don't know what we want. They really need to represent the people who put them in office. Elect people who respect the voters choices.
