Subliminal persuasion in voting??

Question

I am not affiliated, I am not very political, I went to vote in the primarys today with two people in mind. I had to choose between a Republican or Democratic ballod. One was blue and one was pink. I choose the pink for Democratic, but, if I did not know any better I would have choos the more popular color, blue. What do you think about the color thing?????

VerdeOjas, I feel sorry for you. I am not stupid. I was not even referring to myself. I knew who I was going to vote for and why. I think that my questioning the use of color, (which is known to have an effect on people physiologically) being appropriate on ballots was reasonable.

Answer 1

I'll repost, since you did

uh, well i would have chosen pink because it's pretty and I'm girlie. However, I don't vote just for the hell of it, which is why I would have chosen blue. So no I don't think there is "subliminal" persuasion, unless someone goes in to vote as stupid as you. no offense, but you said yourself you're not political, you shouldn't vote if you don't know what you're voting for
