[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I volunteered to write these postcards during the presidential election. It felt like I could do something, when I otherwise felt hopeless. Throw it away if it bothers you, move on.[/quote]

So the thing is, getting these cards from out of state feels intrusive.  I totally get that the people sending them feel like they’ve “done something”, but I really do doubt if they’ve done what you hope they will do.    I remember back in 2016 when dh was at a grad program in MA.  He had classmates who were heavily-accented non-citizens canvassing NH for Hilary.  I get that they felt like they were doing something, but I really think their efforts were misguided.  Sometimes it matters what you do, not just that you’ve done “something”.  [/quote]
First, you are wrong on whether these postcards work. Second, you sound so racist. Heavily accented people can’t care about elections in countries in which they are living? Really?[/quote]

Do you really want to be schooled by a non-citizen on how you should vote in an election? Really?[/quote]
[b]They were more knowledgeable and smarter than the Americans who voted for Trump. [/b]I don’t even understand why you are assuming they weren’t citizens.[/quote]

And y’all wonder why Trump won.  Condescending pricks.  [/quote]
