Is this a serious comment? How do we communicate without advertisements? This is depressing.
How do you communicate to millions of people then? What is your strategy? Visit every single person's home?
She did exactly that.
Campaign was as follows:
Identify policy platform and benefit to winning majority of voters.
Identify win numbers.
Two of hers were Medicare for All and Living Wages.
Organize volunteers to canvass. Break it down and insure coverage.
Canvass, hold events, town hall, rallies, etc...
Continue, until win numbers plausibly met.
Continue.
Win election, which she did.
The beauty of that campaign is the strategy I put here was announced and implemented. All well ahead of the election. Was nearly a two year effort.
No big money, no big media, no extensive marketing campaign.
The single most important thing that team did was actually ask people for their votes.
A ton of campaigns do not actually do that. They imply and or talk about how bad it can be if you do not vote.
Big difference. And it takes much more of a spend to do too.
This works at any scale.
Sanders showed it in 2016. Same overall approach.
Won 22 States and 45 percent of Delegates doing mostly that.
On a national level, some AD spends are needed, but are not the core of the campaign.
People to people politics work, but that is a clear vote for politicking, not the usual vote against we see most of the time.
On FOR type issues, very large numbers of people will invest FOR, because they see a clear return potential.
Without that, yes more ADS and such are needed, because the ask for vote part is not as prominent, often implied.
My point here is we totally have ways of politicking that work and do not require massive political contributions and or ADS.
I perfer them and would gladly regulate political ADS.
Do the same for perscription drugs, just because doing that makes about as much sense.
