I have donated to only 2 Senate campaigns this cycle which has resulted in 100+ different campaigns soliciting donations, about 20+ per day. Do campaigns honestly think people are sitting around with the desire or resources to donate to every campaign?

I am probably off base here but, it seems as though that Trump and the GOP have so brazenly overplayed their hand in general assholery that, amongst other factors, there is a groundswell Americans saying, that's enough of this shit.

I am sorry, but some candidates pleading for donations in order to fund what? TV ads which, at this point persuade, no one? I am pretty comfortable not contributing to a system that enriches TV stations (media buys), campaign consultants (surveys), credit card processors, etc...

As we are all being deluded is requests for campaign donations, I question the correlation of ad spend to votes. The notion that campaign ads influence how someone votes, particularly in this cycle, seems like an argument only broadcasters and campaign consultants would make.

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

As for the equities, the Government has a strong interest
in enforcing the rule, and implementing it will also “en-

Don't really give a rip about Ed Sheeran other than to say, he's an artist, who has an agent who works with promoters to promote his tour so he can make money. Don't think Sheeran played much of a role in the Macklemore decision. All he can do is choose not to play, and face the legal consequences.
