If you care about truth in democracy, this changes your strategy:
– Don't chase viral moments. Build slow clarity.
– Don't rely on debates.
Inform in advance.
– Don’t just debunk lies. Challenge what’s salient.
– Stay present between cycles.

So what moves voters?
Not persuasion.
Not conversion.
But:
✅ Repeated cues
✅ Primed attention
✅ Framed urgency
✅ Timed visibility
✅ Trusted messengers
This is how influence works—even without a single lie.

They’re shaped by stories, timing, and what people are primed to care about.
Let’s dig in.

Over the next threads, I’ll break it down:
How voters decide late—but not randomly
Why debates don’t do what we think
How campaigns reframe attention, not beliefs
How youth engagement spikes—and why it fades
