I signed up as a Trump supporter, then a Biden supporter. Here's what happened next.

There is a slight implication here that the Democratic approach is inferior, clueless. I disagree! I think it is wise! The swing voters are what you want to get and they are very tired of the divisiveness and anger and passionate fan-of-their-man thing, poll after poll says that. The essential suburban women demographic especially! Last thing you want if you are the Biden campaign is angry passionate Bernie bro types knocking on their doors to yell about how awful Trump and the GOP is. That's the last thing they want, is ramping up divisiveness, may cause them to say "a pox on both your houses" and stay home. "Genteel" is the way to go, though I'd prefer a less dismissive word to describe it. This is the reason the Rick Wilson types constantly advise Dems to "leave that stuff to us, don't you go there", you have to be the grownups. And they know how elections are won against Dems.

My wife for the longest while kept testing negative, and then one day, boom, shazam, she showed up pregnant.
I don't know if it was the brand of tester, or if it was testing on a particular day of the week, or what - some people suggested keeping it in a cool environment and stuff - but this time it was positive. We even ran it again just to be certain, and yep, sure enough. I imagine if people know how to use the Covid kits they'll get similarly good results.

The cheese stands alone...

Cheese was my first thought. Any sane person with a life, or an intelligence above gerbil level, would delete the annoying 'membership/ app in a couple of hours, but those folks aren't the targets for the con.
