Re: Shooting the messengers much?

"if people really are this gullible that they'd change their mind based on a random post on the Internet"

Because not just some random post that a voter may come across on the internet. It's thousands, tens of thousands of posts all over the internet, then being reported on by the media. It's how viral marketing and "nudge policies" work. A little drip drip drip can sway people over time, especially the "don't knows". It's not new.
