The Logistics of a Presidential Campaign

[@shamrock141]

I'm not American so forgive my ignorance but it's insane to me how long the US Presidential Campaign talks last, it's like every election year it's nonstop news between the Democrats and Republicans campaigns. Here in the UK it was a big thing for maybe 4 weeks and then we all settled back into our collective political pessimism.

[@pinhead5558]

It’s so exhausting lol. The campaign shitshow is gonna be insufferable for the next 2 months

[@james2042]

God political campaigns should not be allowed to be longer than 2 months. How is the incumbent supoosed to do their job when they spend 60 hours a week campaigning for 6 months? You elect someone in november, they dont start until january and then they start campaiging for re-election by the may at the end of their term?

[@GalacticStarForge42]

The problem is, we don’t have laws limiting that or how much you spend like the United Kingdom has for example example that keep the campaigns shorter. Also, both parties are so used to this longer election cycle and the United States is so much bigger so it takes more time to go everywhere for both parties to campaign, including the primary process that takes forever and takes fundraising, that I don’t think that will ever happen. The United States is just a bigger country so we need more time to get everywhere for both candidates.

[@IronDestinyBlaze]

@@GalacticStarForge42 There's also the fact that the first amendment makes it very hard to make any constitutional laws limiting election campaining.

[@Michaelonyoutub]

The campaigning for primaries even starts much earlier, like summer of the year before the election. Most incumbent presidents don't have to worry about that, so it will mostly be other people with other jobs funding themselves, but if it was say a vice president running after serving a 2 term president, then they would basically be campaigning while being vice president, getting a decent portion of the travel expenses paid for by the government, for up to a year and a half. They likely won't have to campaign nearly as much as they would in the final few months, but right before the primaries, they would be flying all around and campaigning just as much, and travelling potentially even more.

[@salmonmankingoftheocean7624]

the thing is, how do you classify something as a political campaign? even if you make a law preventing early campaigns, who's to say that an electee running high profile charity and volunteering options prior to campaign time isn't out campaigning for themselves, just under a different name. a law limiting campaign length wouldn't help, because parties would just put on displays under different premises, with the same end goal.

I'd be fascinated to learn more about other countries elections from your channel.

[@zenokada2278]

In the uk our politicians can only campaign at certain times, and the pre election period is about 6 weeks There’s a spending limit on campaigns and the main feature of campaigns is candidates on their “battle bus” Our system is far from perfect, but compared to America I feel so grateful to see the winners and losers sharing jokes with each other, the losing rishi sunak made jokes about how GB Olympic athletes probably wouldn’t want advice on winning from someone who lost by so much Normally I would point out that both candidates in America have pretty much the same policy and benefit the same people, but this year Trump’s dangerous campaign makes him so much more dangerous, so even if you don’t like the democrats, please vote Harris to preserve western values and NATO

[@bastienK]

In France also there is a spending limit. The amount of money spent in the US and the collusion it implies is baffling. When a dinner brings 12MUSD to the campaign, how can anyone believes that the people at the dinner tables don't have a vote that's worth more than yours?

[@starchunkss]

You can't compare one small country to that of the USA.

What conservatives? I don't see any (angry) comments from conservatives. The only comments that I see are either democrats or unclear on where they lean.

don't kid yourselves. marketing professionals will be studying the biden to harris transition for _centuries._ in terms of branding and iconography, the harris campaign was the quintessential perfect storm. they didn't have time to mess it up, and as a result, it's inspiring in its overwhelming simplicity. blunt without being brutal. inclusive without being descriptive. perfect as a stone in a pathway. completely new like it had always been there. really, if you understand project management at all, the entire biden harris transition was just beautiful. you really love to watch these kinds of plans execute. it's really something special when it works.

If you use an airforce two pay the full price ie. Not the passenger price per seat but the price to charter air force 2. The donor list entail discounts to a venue if owned so that has to be factored or the money goes to the rival.

Wendover it's been years and I've loved to see the channel grow and the friendships you've made with other content creators. I'm not subscribed to brilliant. Here's what I want to see on brilliant. I would like a video that details your research process. As a non artsy type I don't really care about how you edit and create the video itself but the weeks to months they're going to researching the video I would love to see how you and potentially your team accomplish this. Put it on brilliant. I'll subscribe.

[@MostlyPennyCat]

What I've really loved about this switch is Trump whining and crying about house they've spent million and MILLIONS of dollars on a campaign assuming Biden was the opposition. And now that money is wasted. And the response must be, "You are warned to attack the message not the candidate." I love that this has come back to bite them on the arse, it's beautiful! 😂

[@JGeMcL]

Probably should check how often the Democrats bring up Trump rather than the message. It's on both sides.

[@MostlyPennyCat]

@@JGeMcL Yeah, but they've done nothing BUT attack the person. They haven't announced any policies outside of "revenge" 😂 So, enough of the pretending it's "both sides", eh? Because they are quite clearly _not_ equivalent in any way.

[@DaStopher1]

@@MostlyPennyCat Gotta get out of your bubble there. They have announced tons of policy and it gets talked about a lot. Discussions of revenge mostly comes from pundits.

[@MostlyPennyCat]

@@DaStopher1 I wouldn't exactly call what they've announced policy. I have read it, a lot of it is infantile. And Trump himself clearly has no idea about policy, he just rambles. And yes, I have, to my detriment, listened to entire speeches rather than sound bites. He's an imbecile who's clearly just desperate to stay out of jail. Do not vote for him. Do not vote for his colleagues. Even if you're right wing, reject their culture war bullshit and demand real representation.
