This makes her “strategy” even more baffling than before. How do you know you are down the entire time and do absolutely nothing about policy?

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I guess this is the answer to how her campaign spent 1.5 billion in 15 weeks.
that's what it was meant to do: acquire a shitload of dough and funnel it through the apparatus for a nice generous skimming off the top by "consultants", and then back into the pockets of corporate allies that make their favorite treats and own the fancy hotel chains and sell the air time of giant media companies.
the contest is incidental to the campaign as a mechanism for accumulating, funneling and reconcentrating wealth.
This is why I don't think elections are ever in any danger. There's a whole industry around the spectacle, and the outcome doesn't matter anyway.
For elections to be in danger we'd need to have them in the first place and the US has never held a legitimate election
Ooh, that's good. I might start using that. The MEC.
It’s nothing more than an overdramatic statement that radlibs keep harping about.
