Lately, I keep getting so many ads on my phone. A majority are negative ads. I feel if people want me to vote for them they should give me a positive reason to vote for them and an example of what they plan to do.
I mean anyone can say I plan to do this or that, but I need something that will hold you accountable. Not vague promises. Like I support this or that or flat-out lies, like I will lower your taxes. That never truly happens. One thing will get lower while everything like property taxes and road taxes and vehicle taxes go up and taxe on goods.

I am so over negative ads. That just tells me why you think the other person isn’t any good but it doesn’t tell me why you are a better option.

Also often negative ads are vague and I believe on purpose to keep from getting sued. They tell you half-truths that insinuate the story is worse than it is.

In the end, I usually just do my own research and decide from there. I deal with facts, not the ads.

For me, the only time that doesn’t work is when the candidate never served in office. Then I decide on other things. Like what special interest group is supporting them financially and their back ground.
