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.
Indiana is never “in play”…
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.
There’s a lot of learned helplessness in Texas.
Part of it is because our congressional districts are drawn like a bowl of spaghetti. In statewide elections it matters less but congressional districs were specifically drawn to pack and crack votes here.
Absolutely, plus all the effort by the entrenched Republicans to keep putting more and more hurdles between voters and the ballot box. And all the effort to drive vulnerable minorities out of the state with bigoted laws.
Hell, I’m a cishetwhite guy and I feel like they are trying to drive me out too.
I wish Florida would just break off and sink into the ocean. And I live here.
30 electoral votes don’t simply disappear
No but the chance that you change the vote to your side does go away. Florida isn’t competitive anymore so not much point in either side spending here.
A lot of republicans have moved here and a lot of democrats have left. Add the fact that the Florida democratic party is a mess even compared to other state parties and I don’t see things changing.
One poll that shows them losing by 1-2% instead of 4-5%. I’ll still vote and I hope I’m wrong but I’m Expecting a all the state wide races to go R.
I think the abortion rights amendment has a good chance of hitting the 60% required.
Which is the reason DeSantis is trying to bully the vote.

We should have a rule that the 5 states with the lowest test scores in schools don’t get to vote for president.
