I'd be really interested if you ever made a piece that talk to all of these politicians/ political strategists / consultants that act like election results are determined by the ads, social media posts, speeches candidates make in the last months and not on how they actually rule and the situation people live in. I can't believe they are that dumb and there's not something else going on
I think campaigns do make a difference, and Cuomo ran just about the worst one I've ever seen. But you're right, ads and messaging can only do so much. One reason they continue in this direction is that political campaigns are an incredibly lucrative business for consultants, while they also allow politicians to justify not governing in a populist way.
