The key word there is convince. Most replies to my post seem to think the act of making a promise means you have convinced the voter. It seems very hypocritical to think that people are responsible enough to choose their elected officials while at the same time argue that they can't be trusted to make an informed decision because of a Facebook ad which promised them what they wanted. If you microtarget me and your opponent microtargets me, how am I going to be convinced by you? This is an adversarial process.
