      Yes, because one is saying positives and the other is saying negatives. “Trump promises project 2025” isn’t a trump ad even if “Harris promises a fucking break from whatever weird bullshit trump said today” wouldn’t be allowed on truth social

        Ads are about exposure too. The word “lemmy” is probably banned on reddit because they don’t want you to even mention a competitor or people would know.

        When the frontpage is all about trump/harris any party that isn’t them lose because they get 0 coverage.

            Problem is the ones people currently trust to organise, run, certify, and implement the elections do not want third parties to be relevant. Existing powers entrench against any changes that might result in a more fair system because the unfairness is the reason why they are on top.
