Another question, I'll bet that most Americans would rather see campaigns can their ads (most misleading) and put those bucks to better use. Ga. Campaigns $250,000 spent, yipsters!

I only watch Netflix and Amazon Prime. No network TV at all. I’m delighted to say that I didn’t see a single campaign ad on TV, though I did receive several dozen flyers in the mail which I tossed. Political campaigns seem to think that the more millions they put into TV ads, the more people will vote for their candidates. But do they? Yes, we need to know there is an election coming. We need to know the positions of candidates. But couldn’t that be better done by sending out a non-partisan pamphlet with a table that gives issues on the left column and candidates names at the top and checks off their specific positions? Instead of asking us for more millions for more ads, stop all the ads.
In my experience, virtually no one changes votes because of signs and ads. So why bother? Furthermore, people who believe TV political ads are so gullible that they may not be bright enough to deserve to vote.. When I have seen these ads in the past, ALL sides lie about the other side and claim to have done things they haven’t really done. Voting should be based on better information.
