A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

The Harris Campaign spent $1,176,074,620.47

The total spending on all campaigns in 2024 was over 21 Billion Dollars.

How many votes do you think $100M in advertisements is going to earn? That's hardly enough money to put an ad in the face of 1 of 3 people in the USA one time.

Apparently 318 seats worth.
