I Need a Political Mute Button

Every web site I go to bombards me with political ads.
"Vote for me, I'm not that clod!"
"Hey, did you hear what my opponent said?"
"Ignore my opponent's ad, listen to what they said!"
I'm pretty certain that the election night results newscasts next Tuesday will be sponsored by a candidate for the 2024 presidential race. 
With all the intelligence we have -- not to mention all these tracking cookies -- doesn't it seem to you that we should be able to go check a box that says, "I voted, now leave me the hell alone!!!" Or, at the very least, a political mute button.
No, Donny, I don't care. No, Joe, I don't care. I've already voted. And, although one of the top Google searches in the past week was "how do I change my vote"/"can I change my vote," I'm stuck with what I did, good or bad. (And, given the candidates, it's bad, either way.)
If you're wondering, I voted for a dog. At least he'll listen to you, and if you train him he won't piss all over your carpet. I'm not very certain I could say that about any candidate......

It's like this every election year. Before the internet, you got bombarded with adds on television, and signs every couple of feet. As a matter of fact, I saw more physical signs in 2016, than I have this year. Short of when we had our primaries in Martch, So I guess less signs is a bit of a blessing, and the ones I do see, get taken out by reckless drives or the wind. Some people I know, are getting text messages as well. At least when the election ends, the adds and political messages will stop.

Like you and millions of others, I've voted. I don't need coercion on how to vote now.
Unless the Al Capone Memorial Voting Booth is open ("vote early, and vote often").
