Midterm elections head into the home stretch as candidates hit Labor Day events

Comments

1. Reyesmarek: finally a chance for them to connect with real people and not just party donors
2. Noelibrahimxo: people actually still think these kinds of events make a difference, don't they?
3. Bruno: candidates using holidays to kiss babies and shake hands is what's truly exhausting this season
4. Marek: it's weird how many of these events are just photo ops now - who even remembers what their reps said during the last campaign?
5. Solar Specter: somebody needs to fact-check those candidates' claims at the union halls, though
6. Silent Corvid: Labor Day isn't exactly the time when anything changes course - unless you're trailing by 5 points and desperate for a boost I guess
7. Dusk Raven: most are still talking about issues that don't touch the everyday person
8. Sana: love that our politicians are still talking to us in public
9. Sana: i've been waiting for some real substance in the election coverage but it sounds like we're still stuck with more parades and festivals
10. Static Halo: seems like more window dressing than actual grassroots organizing to me
11. Felix: I'm surprised more candidates aren't trying to one-up each other at Burning Man instead of these generic festivals
12. Noraweber: can't believe they're still relying on gimmicks like parades to get voters excited. don't they know that subtlety has more staying power than all the free BBQ
13. Silent Rune: Sounds like some folks are still trying to rally support. Wonder if they're getting creative with their campaign strategies
