Imagine if we fixed the fucking election laws and we could use that money for literally anything else.
That money would be in coffers of private wealthy individuals. You’re thinking of taxes. And we do also spend that much on taxes that don’t come back to us, aside from the stability of the new world order that comes from bombs instead of books. :/
Fresh lies from Don and Shady: Trump will absolutely commit to vetoing national abortion ban.
Sure Jan. We are supposed to just believe-me-bro that guy who takes pride in killing Roe will somehow give a fuck about women’s rights all of a sudden
With his whole let the state decide idea, would be funny if all us females move to the blue states and there’s nothing but males in the red ones. 🤣
Would probably advance women’s rights and gay rights.
They’re already taking aim at Out Of State abortions, you think they won’t stop women from emigrating to Blue states? As they continue to solidify their power, they absolutely will bring the SCOTUS against free travel between states in order to protect their sinking population.
There are many diverging paths to THMT.
Republicans sell hate and fear, democrats sell hope and optimism. I know which I’d pick.
This has actually been shown through studies a number of times!
Plenty of correlative studies that show the left associated with positive and the right associated with negative: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.1098/rstb.2011.0268
But also some causal studies where people are more conservative when they’re scared or more progressive when they feel safe: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ejsp.2315
…and both continue to slide right.
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.

Wow. You’d think that that much money would make her less afraid of AIPAC’s influence and empower her to apply the principles of justice that she keeps bragging about evenly. Makes me wonder if she’s actually just ideologically bound to genocide like her mentor Joe.
If you’re wondering why you’re getting down voted:
You threw out a straw man argument, and one that doesn’t even make sense on top of that.
Oh, I’m not wondering at all. It’s very clear to me that the US generally holds pretty reprehensible views on these topics (as does the community here on Lemmy). But thanks.
