Most of the time, you might be right. In times like this, it is very wrong.
But no matter what, it’s important to go vote. Vote no matter how you think your state will go. Maybe you’ll be disappointed most of the time, but every once in a while, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Mississippi was never in play. It was a safe Republican state. Democrats didn’t spend money in Mississippi. The wins in Kansas, Iowa, and Texas were already major upsets. Alaska, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida going down as election night battlegrounds are events that will find their way into the pages of history books. People will study this election cycle for decades.
Your vote matters.
If your vote didn’t matter, Elon Musk wouldn’t have just spent $500m trying to buy it.
The man spent far more for twitter because he is a thin-skinned baby. He has made the most of his fuckup, but let’s not attribute to him a grand strategy where there may not be one.
He spent as much as he did because he’s a fucking idiot and thought he could get out even after making a promise to buy at a set price and waiving due diligence. It was actually cheaper to severely over pay than deal with the contract penalties.
Yeah people really need to remember or otherwise research that whole mess. Long story short Musk didn’t even initially want twitter but was more or less legalistically forced to buy it.
Does that prove that money in politics doesn’t matter?
No.
