I wonder which candidates the CCP preferred?

LOL knew? I think they meant “coordinated with.”

I hope I live long enough to see this tyrannical fruitcake behind bars.....or pushing up daisies.

Turdeau is just another BiteMe.

This is interesting, but certainly no surprise. I’m not sure what it is like in Canada when it comes to campaign funding, but I think it is becoming rather clear in the US that the total dollar amount doesn’t determine the outcome of elections. It’s the way campaign dollars are used. Personally, I think on average Democrats kicked Republican asses in the past two elections in the way they used campaign dollars. Campaign dollars are always a limited resource. They need to be used wisely. The major difference between Democrat and Republican use is that Democrats use their resources to harvest and count votes while Republicans spend their money on getting out the vote, leaving many voters and votes sitting at home on Election Day. Democrats recognize the difference between voter and votes.

While I dislike vote harvesting, it is legal in some states. And as with most laws, there is interpretation and wiggle room that Democrats leverage knowing that they can usually win in court if challenged because of the dominance of leftist judges and textualist conservatives judges in the federal judiciary and Supreme Court. The latter meaning the USSC is unlikely to even hear a case because elections are a state issue, not a federal issue.

Republicans need to change their ways and sometimes do things that they are unaccustomed and goes against their natural convictions. For instance, ads on Tik Tok reach a completely different voter demographic than say mailers. Republicans tend not to use Tik Tok and they have an association between the CCP and Tik Tok that they are vehemently against. Democrats have no problem using Tik Tok for campaign ads. Anyways, as long as your ad is not altered, why not use any method to get your ad out to a specific demographic. (I’m not saying Tik Tok is a wise use of campaign dollars. Its use is an example of a difference between Republican and Democrat campaigns.)

Lastly, how many people really read and are influenced by campaign mailers. Honestly, I don’t know. I do know that for my entire adult life campaign mailers get sorted for the garage can as soon as I get the mail in my house. It’s junk mail to me.
