Laughing that Alex accidentally picked fixing the roads as speech point in Michigan when we have the worst rated roads in nation and Governor was literally elected on campaign motto of "Fix the damn roads!"

[@john98765333]

Meanwhile she is failing miserabally at that.

[@Jiggysbigdaddy]

john98765333 Actually it’s the republican held legislator that refused to offer her a new revenue package after they rejected hers. She pumped about $3.5B in one time bonded funds into the road program but it’s the legislature that controls the long term spending and approves allocation shifts to agencies such as MDOT

[@bucy9090]

Realistically, most states would receive very few or even zero visits from candidates. It’d probably be Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Florida, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and New Hampshire getting most of the visits in 2020. The others would essentially be wasted funds as they’re unlikely to flip.

I know how to beat that shit~ Get ideology points and stack em Get every ideology you can that doesn’t raise you’re opponent enthusiasm by over 1% And then play em ASAP And then while it’s still early Make plays for these states you wanna catch For a Democrat: put something in Alaska, it’s not big but if you stack it right and play the right issues, 3 easy electoral votes and in close elections thats life or death Put something in Missouri, 10 electoral votes never hurt Tennessee and Kentucky with that And Mississippi And then for a Republican Play for Oregon, Vermont, Washington, Connecticut, and Maine Also you forgot the swing states of the game in Georgia, Ohio, Iowa, Colorado and Virginia

[@RuneCode]

Contesting red states was the problem with most of these games. By abandoning Florida in the last game and focusing more effort in other swing states was what gave Alex the W. This is the reason why candidates tend to campaign in medium-sized states and not worry much about contesting big states like New York, Texas, and California. Florida gets a lot of buzz in the news as a swing state, but generally speaking, candidates don't spend much money there because it's big and expensive to run a campaign there. It's probably why it swings wildly in the first place because they always let wins in Florida up to chance.
