Correct!

What matters is whatever they are blabbering about actually gets them out of office or paints a negative picture to enough people that it makes a difference.

If it is not effective, that's when things get interesting, I believe. It could mean a number of things; younger people are voting more, games are becoming more widely accepted as not a bad thing, for instance.

In the latter case, one could argue that the perpetrators are very much out of touch.

If it works (and I hope it doesn't) then I guess it can be viewed as a successful way to win, but it's a bit desperate if they're resorting to attacking something like that over policy or similar.

If it doesn't work, I hope for the most part it means the wider population assumes she'd be good at her job and what she does online is her own business, but if it means younger people think of voting that's also a good thing.
