@GottaLaff I'm confused about the role of money in politics. One the one hand, it's certainly a (grossly) vital component, and there's a strong correlation between the amount of money raised and spent, and political wins. On The Other Hand, no amount of money Trump spends is going to make me vote for him; same for Biden vis my redneck neighbors down the street. Is the gist that both campaigns are spending millions per capita on a few 'undecided' voters in a few districts in a few swing states?
@tersenurse Pretty much. It allows Biden to get ads up on all media everywhere he needs them, as he’s already doing. It helps educate those who are unaware that his policies are working, who Trump is (yes, people have forgotten), about abortion, etc.
@GottaLaff @tersenurse and remember, Trump won in 2016 by a half full University of Michigan Football stadium worth of voters spread over three states the Dems called the "Blue Wall".
It's going to be a tight election and we can't risk a repeat of that.
Also money helps down ballot candidates and helps GOTV. If everybody eligible voted in America there wouldn't be a Trump candidacy.
Many who don't vote are effectively blocked. But there are some others who just need extra motivation, sadly.
PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE POPULAR WITH EC VOTES.
Trump won THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE, that gives competitive advantage to the states with the most land but the least actual voters.
Hillary Clinton had ±4 MILLION VOTERS, but from more populous states; so they didn't count in the tally of EC VOTES.
Trump won, after SCOTUS killed the VOTING RIGHTS ACT by **HACKING** the EC thru voter suppression & census obfuscation. some of his districts had ZERO population.
