Why do so many “good” politicians run crappy
ad campaigns? Because the only way they
get precious airtime is if they play by consultant rules, because those
consultants have the magic keys to that airtime. And those consultants know one
game.
Consultants who usually favor just
one party, btw.
Democratic and Republican candidates and their
campaigns write panic-like letters about how they have to have your money or
the other side will overwhelm them. Then
they go on to win by a 70+% margin in their gerrymandered districts.
It all comes across as so sleazy, one wonders
if they truly stand for anything.
The ocean of money in our political system, and all its many effects before, during, and after a campaign.
