DNC rolls out six-figure ad buy in LGBTQ publications in battleground states
The ad buy is the first time the Democratic National Committee has invested in a campaign dedicated to LGBTQ publications.
Ads are focused mainly on making sure people turn out to vote
It's so very sad that there is such a thing as a "battleground state". We basically write off so very many Americans with this stupid system of ours. All the voters in California...don't matter. For instance.
According to conservatives it's a perfect system because otherwise the most populated states would decide the president
You know, as opposed to a small handful of less populated states
/s
Yeah, it truly is a horrifying notion to the elitists (aka, the cons) that a President would be chosen by the majority of the people. Instead, we should be ruled by a minority.
The electoral college is indeed quite frustrating, though note that downballot races in many non-battle ground states do matter. For instance, California and New York have some competitive house races despite not being super competitive for president
Yes, downballot does matter, but it sure would be nice if everyone's vote counted equally for selecting Presidents. With the current system - they just don't.
The cons (and not a few Enlightened Centrists (tm) ) keep saying that without the EC, candidates will just go where all the people are to campaign - and somehow that is worse than the current system of just trying to win a few "battleground" states? I'd much rather candidates were trying to appeal to as many Americans as possible - it might provide a moderating influence on the far, far right.
Walz called for abolishing it.
That's about as valuable as Trudeau's promise to switch Canada off FPTP, but people are talking.
Not really related, but that jacket is bad ass!
