True. They do get a lot of oligarch money which makes me suspicious as hell. The Harris campaign reportedly spent over $100 million a month on these consultants.
I totally agree that the issues that are important to me are very progressive. I feel the opposition party is not acting oppositional enough. The crux of the matter, as you say, is the data.
And this, as far as how we deal with the “data” reported now:
“These consultants have their data but it’s only as accurate as who you ask and where you’re asking.”
And that is my biggest concern: How many people didn’t vote at all? Where are they? How do we appeal to the folks who say they are burned out and want nothing to do with politics, as if politics existed somewhere outside our daily lives. Who has data on them?
One of the problems is they always talk to likely voters. But they have no clue why so many people stay home. We need to know what it is they would like to see in government. What changes they want, etc.
If you look at what races and ballot initiatives get the most registered voters to the polls, it's races centered on progressive policies. They have to know that, so the question becomes Why do they ignore what the most citizens support and want?
I guess one can talk about them being in cahoot with the oligarch if one means that they share the same class interests.
