      Do non swing state american’s ever get jealous of swing state americans? Like if I didn’t live in one of the 7 states that determine the general elections or one of the 4 early states that determine the primaries what would be your motivation to get involved with the political process.

    2. Why is Trump campaigning in Minnesota and Montana? Those aren’t battleground states. He hasn’t been campaigning at all in half the battleground states.

      If I was Harris I would hold a rally in Florida just rustle the jimmies of the tangerine palpatine even more.

    4. The map should color code the states by party for the rally. Blue where only Harris has had one, red where it has been Trump, and purple if both.

    5. It is widely how many states and neighborhoods are basically ignored in a national race like this. Reporting from Salt Lake City. Fully ignored.

    6. It’s kind of sad how little politicians care about the biggest states because our system is so stupid.

      If we had a popular vote system, Trump would be seen in Northern CA trying to gather conservatives as well as in upstate NY. Kamala would be seen in the urban areas of TX and FL, because every vote would count.

    7. Prior to media and social media, I could see the appeal of campaigns and rallies as you wouldn’t hear much from a candidate without them.

      In 2024, I do wonder if having the physical rallies in these states matter as much as say an online campaign.

      Ooooh, Republicans can start talking about that carbon footprint. That will resonate!

      Can somebody explain to me why candidates don’t just hang out in a state for a week? Go to Michigan and make a different stop each day at Detroit, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, etc. It seems so much less taxing than zooming all over the place.

    10. Blame the Electoral College for the existence of swing states. If the president were elected by popular vote, the candidates would focus on other places. And NO, it wouldn’t make the candidates care only about New York, Chicago, and LA. You can add up the top 10 biggest cities in the US and not even reach 8% of the population. Even if you kept the Electoral College but changed it to allocate the votes according to the percentage each party won instead of giving all of the votes to the winner (which is how each state does it except for Maine and Nebraska), then it would be easier to believe that every vote matters.

      She ain’t got a prayer in ga or nc. Same with Wisconsin and mich. only way she wins is if they steal it like in 2020

    12. Wait but I thought having an electoral college prevents politicians from only campaigning in a few states? Hehehe we need to abolish the electoral college.
