    That and they would actually have to campaign. Right now, once they’re the nominee, they get the full backing of the party and only campaign in “battleground states,” for the most part. If they were up against a dozen parties, they might have to work for a change.

      Yeah that’s true, no rallies in CA right now, that’s for sure lol

      Though while we’re on the subject of campaign changes, I’d want to see huge changes in how we handle campaigning as well - less rallies, less speeches, less TV ads, more structured debates, more platform statements, and (most importantly) more actual work from the politicians who are currently in office and running for a new one (or getting re-elected) instead of flying around the country.

      Florida has basically been without a governor for months now thanks to DeSantis’ campaign bid, though that’s partly because he changed the laws to let him continue as Gov while he ran
