YHK - yet another hacker news clone

This is a really cool idea (and looks nice)! Are the ranges percentages of the total? I am finding it slightly annoying that changing the tab sends me to a new page with another hit to my browser hist

As someone who has managed to stay away from these ads, boy is it disappointing sometimes how much they play to the most simple of human needs and emotions like "I will make things more affordable" and "the other guy is a sell out and corrupt politician". This coming from even the politicians that I support. I guess it's what's effective when needing to gain mass-appeal for an election.

Voting is a chore. You have to set aside a block of time, drive to a polling station, stand in line, and vote. Gas is expensive. Time is expensive. Groups of people who are agitated gathering in the same place is risky. The return on that investment of time, at a personal level, is practically nonexistent. From an individual cost-benefit perspective, voting does not make much rational sense.

So you have to appeal to something beyond rationality. Emotion. You need someone to be so swayed by what you say that they forget to think critically and simply go out and vote.

Committees have approved these ads. They understand that the system is not driven purely by rationality. And they have engineered these messages to influence people into making irrational choices voluntarily.
