33. But Super PACs are still funding ads, against Dems
Wed Oct 7, 2020, 05:09 PM

And special interest groups are also funding ads, against Biden and local candidates, so it's not like going dark means there are no ads running there for them, just not ones paid for by the campaign.

So instead of hearing "this ad was approved/paid for by the candidate" it says "paid for by this group or that group," sometimes even giving disclaimer the candidate did not approve it.

Still, his campaign doesn't have the funds that Biden or the Dems do, between donations from fired up supporters and Bloomberg's contributions to the cause, which is freedom from fascism here in the US!

This weekend I found some local repub propaganda left in my back screen door days before. 3 pieces, including 1 door handle medium sized sign for tRump, a sheet listing the conservative candidates to vote for, and a chart contrasting repug vs Dem values and agendas. My town and county is 60% red. Their list of who to vote for will be very helpful to me, knowing who NOT to vote for. Lol And they included school board candidates, which are/should be non partisan, but again, it tells me who not to vote for.
