If I'm elected I will lower the cost of all prescription drugs that are prescribed on Sundays at 2:57 PM, this is something I have always strongly believed in

Dem donors would rather give Sinclair/FOX/CBS/etc hundreds of millions of dollars for TV and newspaper one time ad buys that barely anyone will remember or see, for that money to them be turned around and used against them immediately.

Dem donors don't want to fund left media out of a fear of being criticized by progressives, but are totally OK with spending hundreds of millions on ad buys with Sinclair/FOX/WAPO/CBS etc. Those guys certainly won't attack them.

liberal donors are more focused on the two year election cycle and donate tons of money to dumb election stuff instead of long term investment like media

PrincessCoco @princesscocosez.bsky.social · 1d

In your view, is there a prevailing theory as to why liberals have no interest? It does not make sense and has not for a very long time.

And Sinclair/FOX/Wapo/CBS/NYT/etc. don't attack Dems?

The Kamala campaign itself, raised over 1 billion dollars. If your argument is that the Republicans dark money machine raised more money than the Democrats, which is certainly true, then that only makes it more critical that Dems should be spending their money wisely

blippy @blippy.bsky.social · 1d

your point is that this would require billionaire level funding. my point is that they already HAVE billionaire level funding, and use that money to fuel our opponents

blippy @blippy.bsky.social · 1d

the amount of money required to fund the type of activities I'm talking about are miniscule in comparison to the wasted TV ad buys. Ad buys that only serve to fund entities like Sinclair, who will only use that money to further attack us

blippy @blippy.bsky.social · 1d

you are literally funding conservatism for an expensive one time ad buy that most people probably will not even see

1

blippy @blippy.bsky.social · 1d

So why give those same crazy people more money to hit us over the head with?

Why give loads and loads of money to conservatives like Sinclair broadcasting, for expensive one time ad buys, rather than funding more inexpensive year long podcasters, influencers, and smaller media?

the dems already have billionaire-level funding, in fact they out spent republicans in 2024.

the problem is WHERE they spend their money. expensive one-time ad buys on TV vs. low cost investments of podcasters, influencers, independent media who are able to get the message out year long.

blippy @blippy.bsky.social · 1d

the point is that for their investments, republicans are getting their propaganda out to the public, while dems are not because they continue to commit too much money to outlets that have been bought out by billionaires like bezos & the ellisons, outlets that will never treat democrats fairly

Key lessons from Media Matters' new report on conservative media

Conservative dominance of digital platforms is driven by billionaire backing that the left hasn't matched.
