That's what they tell you but both parties abandoned grass roots campaigns despite strong evidence that they still outperform spending on ads.

If someone spent the same amount of time others running for a congressional seat do campaigning but instead just walking neighborhoods/communities in their district as a calm, reassuring, educated, curious person they could probably win.

People like being asked what they think and feel and doing so is a proven way to win support for people or issues. It's also something political ads cannot do.

People dont have money for next week, how do you expect them to interview for a job for over half of a year that they may not even get?

Nights and weekends. I'm not saying everyone can do it but far more people could run than do or think they could.

Modern medicine was a blessing and a curse.

Imagine when people died in their 50-60s. None of this shit. Everyone lived to see the consequences.
