I mean if you know what will go viral, that can be pennies on the dollar.

No. You don't know what will go viral, but you can effectively market much more cheaply and effectively on social media than blasting commercials on every commercial break of every show for weeks/months straight.

If you think you need to advertise in newspapers and TV commercials to win elections still that is dinosaur thinking. You still need to do some but that should not be the focus like the past.

Trump proved that over Hillary last election, same way democrats should not be considering Pelosi to be some fund-raising goddess over more likable candidates in their party. That also means the $100 million (and counting) that Trump has already raised towards his 2020 election bid is vulnerable, but democrats need to stop thinking old-school.
What does this mean? Like it's sitting around somewhere I can go grab it?

The only old person who can connect with their base through social media is Trump.

Dems strategy has been to play prevent defense with old established candidates instead of going for it on 4th down with fresh aggro faces. The dems are Mike McCarthy without Godgers.

I mean, seriously, there is no point in winning if it’s at the cost of being owned by scum. Look at ****ing Chuck Schumer.

How'd we get to a place where it's normal that two parts of the country despise each other? That you can imagine the other side encouraging terror? Our thinking changed. We stopped debating politics & ideas & started attacking others for things we can't change, for who we are.
RIP irony


(also, the GOP currently bothsidsing this mailbom thing as "this is a totally normal outcome of the press reporting facts about the President" and/or "this is some Dem false flag operation", good times)

this is justified because [insert nazi grievance]

I literally wanted to look for a site this morning where I could bet on Rush saying this very thing. Let me remind you the Deepwater Horizon was *also* a false flag operation, involving democrat submarines.

Having worked across election campaigns for the past five years and seeing a lot of data about this - ad recall is still way higher from TV/radio spots than it is on social media. Some of that has to do with continual blasting of spots vs daily ad cap limits on Facebook/Twitter etc. but it's also that campaign ads get lost in the noise of social media much more than some hick on TV yelling about how much the other candidate is a pedophile or whatever.

I am interested in how it looks in the US though (I've worked on Australian campaigns only) due to non-compulsory voting, just from what I've seen it's more olds voting than young people which would also lend itself to more old school advertising, which is what looks like is happening.

I briefly met Bernie's digital campaign manager at a conference here and he semi-explained they weren't doing well by going viral, they were just incredibly smart as to who they were targeting, when and how often to solicit donations, what to focus messages on etc.

There's a couple cars very similar to that, often seen in Austin downtown near the capitol, but with a different type of derangement. Usually 1st amendment, abortion, or religious stuff, but the same deal with the windows full of **** and a flag pole on the roof.

Teleprompter Trump returns: "Americans must unify...show the world that we are united in peace and love and harmony."
Quote:
Trump: "They're attacking us because we are speaking the truth." He just made 170 false claims in a week
Quote:
Trump criticizes the media, then laughs approvingly at someone who shouted "fake news," then says "I won't use examples" because it's a "special day" in which somebody was arrested for attempted bombings.
Quote:
Trump exaggerates the U.S. trade deficit, which is in the hundreds of billions, and then says, "'Billion.' Nobody even knows what it is. What does that mean. It's so much, it's like, 'What does it mean?'"
Quote:
Trump says "they" think economic growth could be "well into the 4s," then notes that third-quarter growth of 3.5% was just announced.
Quote:
Trump, in the same speech in which he called for unity, boasts about how he doesn't say "Democratic Party," he says "Democrat Party." He says "Democratic Party" sounds better. He says the Democrat Party should change its official name to the Democratic Party, which is its name.
Quote:

Trump hits "globalists" at WH event after call for unity in wake of bomb-scare suspects arrested. Several audience members shout out "George Soros" and others shout "lock 'em up." Trump chuckles, points and repeats "lock 'em up."
