In his bid to retake the White House, few states hold as much promise forĀ Donald TrumpĀ as Michigan.
The former president has already won the state once and PresidentĀ Joe Biden, who reclaimed it for Democrats in 2020, isĀ confronting vulnerabilitiesĀ there as he seeks reelection. Trumpās campaign promises an aggressive play for Michigan as part of a robust swing-state strategy.
But, at least for now, those promises appear to be mostly talk. The Trump campaign and its partners at the Republican National Committee havenāt yet made significant general election investments in the state, according to Michigan Republican Party Chairman Pete Hoekstra. The national committee, he said, hasnāt transferred any money to the state party to help bolster its operations heading into the general election. There are no specific programs in place to court voters of color. And thereās no general election field staff in place.
You think that money is going to down ballot races instead of directly into Trumpās pocket,??? Lol
They donāt give a shit about down ballot. Down ballot doesnāt matter when you control all three branches of government, imprison or kill all your enemies, and replace the entire federal beauracracy with toadies.
They donāt care about consequences because they do not intend to suffer them.
My man, what do you think ādown ballotā means?
What part of this do you not understand? They donāt care about down ballot races because they intend to install a dictatorship. You think Putin gives a shit how much funding down ballot candidates get? Fuck no. They just install whoever they want or have sham elections.
You: They will control the House, Senate, and Presidency.
Also You: They donāt care about voting in House and Senate races.
Somehow Also You: What donāt you understand about my previous statement?
Down ballot is where the gerrymandering and state supreme courts work together to kill democracy.
Fear will keep the local systems in line.
