    Even if the argument about getting X% of votes was true, the states to campaign heavy in would be the deep blue/red states. Especially since they tend to get ignored by candidates.

    Instead she sticks to the states where <30k votes could decide the election and the market is saturated with the most expensive ad costs

    It’s blantantly obvious what’s she’s doing.

      Yeah, that’s the nature of the Electoral College. It sucks. Do you think the Electoral College is something Kamala Harris invented or even wants?

      Hate the game, not the playa.

          No I think the point is that of course she campaigns in swing states cause she wants to get to 5% of the vote so she can get access to more money. But it’s the same stayes everyone is paying attention too.

          Its false logic to say she’s only dangerous in those states cause they are already close and we just have to pay extra attention to them because they are the swing states.

          Is coincidental pattern seeking.

        I think you replied to the wrong person. And I’m not sure why you had to include a giant screenshot

        Every instance that federates now has to host that. If everyone was this inconsiderate of server space the federverse couldn’t exist.

          It wasn’t giant on my end, it looked like 2 thumbnails that broke apart into a 2 mile long post that couldn’t be scrolled, so I deleted it. And then your response appeared.

            It’s now posted three times as a parent comment to the thread…

            And the way deletion works on federated instance none of them are likely to be removed…

            So now 4 copies are taking up space on every instance federated with .world, it adds up
