re: #150 Targetpractice

And how much of the finite resources that existed for the DNC would have been necessary to flip Nebraska? Not flip a few votes, but turn Nebraska as a whole purple enough to give the 5 EV votes the state has to give to Hillary? And if devoting those resources there meant that she lost (say) Virginia, would it be worth it because you got the warm fuzzies of knowing she’d won your state? Now expand that to every state in the Midwest you believe she could have won if she’d just made the effort, every state she won there was exchanged for a “coastal elite” state. Would it have shifted the election back in her favor?

Back to the argument it’s too hard so we won’t try. How’d Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania work out for the GOP?

I ain’t asking for warm fuzzies for my state, and I am not expecting things to flip overnight.

They will never flip until someone starts working on a long game.

In the meantime, if I get more stuff like my neighbour gave me this morning, I hope one you folks in a safe blue state that can’t be bothered with campaigning here can take my wife and me in on your sofa.
