    Total ad spend so far by both parties comes to $16.61 per person in the state. DAMN.

      So I do run an adblocker for most of the web on most of my devices, but the TV for example still plays youtube ads and I would say that maybe 1 out of every 3 or 4 ads is not a political ad. Well over half of the ones that are political are for Trump. I’ve also received at least one mailer every day this week. Usually 2-3 (one for each of my wife and I). All of the mailers are pro Trump. Yes, I let the TV play trash politics adjacent videos on mute trying to waste as much of their money as possible.

        Wow. That’s fascinating, thanks for the details. Interesting that you’re mostly seeing pro-Trump stuff as from the article the dems are outspending the Trump campaign.

          I live in small blue town in very red county, and I’m probably not being distinguished from the surrounding area. A lot of it is in the ‘motivating you to show up’ category. At least it would be if I actually believed Bob Casey was holding down Pennsylvanians while Harris injected them with fentanyl smuggled over the border in a sack of illegal aliens.
