Cris Ericson Got At Least 5 Write-in Votes & Will Be A Write-in Candidate Nov. 5, 2024

by CrisEricson2016 | Politics

Apparently I got at least 2 write-in votes on the Progressive primary election ballot somewhere in Vermont, one was my own vote for myself, and 3 write-in votes for me on the Republican ballot.

I was so disheartened that I emailed the DNCC and said I withdraw from being a remote correspondent. They had sent me a list of Illinois abortion providers for me to interview. CCTV.org in Burlington said they would air it. But, I threw the opportunity away because I was so worn out by Facebook abusing me.

Everyone Else Wants You To Quit Facebook First

Your friends and family will ultimately thank you. Take a few moments and quit Facebook.

Yes, go ahead and quit. 

I’ve done an informal survey of this summer and it seems many people who use Facebook don’t like that they use it. They know it is a crappy platform that is in the business of selling personal information to the highest bidder. They know Mark Zuckerberg is using them. They know the site is undermining democracy and is weaponized by political parties to sway voters. They know there are privacy problems. They are tired of being a commodity and tired of supplying personal data for free.
