Money that used to flow into the state during presidential elections has all but stopped, another indication that Florida's time as a major swing state is no more.
We need to treat every state as a battleground state
Presidential campaigns cost over a billion dollars these days, if that’s not enough to campaign in 50 states, where the fuck is all that money even going.
A billion dollars is an insane amount, I legitimately don’t understand how either party can claim with a straight face they need or even use close to that much
The main reason Texas is not “in play” it’s because everyone assumes it can’t be “in play”. Over 5 million registered Texans did not vote in 2020! Among them there is definitely 700k Democratic votes and that would be a landslide win for Harris.
Except when Obama carried the state to the point they even got a Dem governor…
Then we started running moderates again for president, they got Pence who caused an HIV epidemic and then the whole country had to deal with him as VP.
The problem is what “red states” need to turn blue isn’t what the DNC is willing to give.
Considering the “victory fund” nonsense effectively raised the per person cap to 960k this year. Just imagine how much good the taxes on it would have done if we actually fucking taxed the wealthy.
Then realize those donations is why we’ll never tax the wealthy.
Politicians cut out the middle men and just collect it directly like the Catholics and Mormons do, get that 10% pre tax income…

Eh, Mitch Daniels wasn’t a Democrat.
Thanks, yeah I was off a couple years too. Mitch was in office before Obama was president.
Imagine how many children could be fed with that money. Absolutely immoral.
