two examples:
"An idea that resonates with many voters."
"Top 10 Romantic Movies that resonate for me."
so which one is correct? or they're just interchangeable ?

But I see many natives use the second one too,here's another example:
" That distribution description doesn't resonate for me or for my family or for my friends orfor my community."
