Four years before a presidential election, each state gets to make its case to be "The One!"
Its kind of like America's Got Talent or one of those shows where people sing at a panel of celebrities.
After 4 years of making their individual cases, slowly having the number of competitors winnowed down by viewer votes, the final state gets to be "The One!". The only state that matters during the presidential election. Think about it? All the wasted resources trying to campaign in states where a candidate KNOWS they aren't going to win, knows that the Electoral College invalidates the votes FOR all of the candidates that didn't get the majority. All the plane trips, all the Secret Service and local cops having to fuck up traffic in every city or town during a political event, all the campaign ads spread out inefficiently across the entire 50 states and US territories, all the handwringing about voting for the lesser of two monstrous evils... can just be focused at the state that gets to be "The One!" this year.
tell me more, I'm not caught up on this Texas rally. wait, a Texas rally? Kamala went to TEXAS in the last week of the campaign? [rolls eyes] only makes sense as theater and it's not even believable enough to make the Trump campaign flinch
It might have been more about getting turnout for the guy running against Ted Cruz, who's really underperforming in the polls rn. And even though the other guy is definitely a neoliberal ghoul, I hope he wins. Because fuck Ted Cruz

Seriously how much did that fucking rally in fucking TEXAS cost.
For a state that has been "about to go vlue" for my entire life
