What I don’t get is why this is such an essential metric. What does this extra money give the campaign that it didn’t have last week? I understand that it takes a lot of money to run an organization in all 50 states, filing all the required paperwork with each state and making sure that voters have accurate information. But doesn’t extra money just go into advertising? Are these people really just a GoFundMe for the media?
I guess I need someone to explain why this extra money might translate into something tangible for Harris. Because if it doesn’t, then this is just an Internet poll where people get 1 vote per dollar contributed, and the money raised only helps some ad rep meet his quota for the month.
Television advertising. It might be hard to believe, but there are way more low information voters than you might imagine. TV advertising is expensive too. Jeff Jackson (NC congressman, running for NC State AG after he was gerrymandered out of Congress) has done a great job addressing this in his short videos.
