      dont think he needs it, the DNC likely determined already. hes just giving himself more exposure so that people vote on him based on recognizability alone. thats also how trump won too, being in MEDIA alot helped him.

        I’ve never heard of the MEDIA alot, but that species has alot of members.

        It’s amazing how brainwashed people are by TV. Trump was a blowhard business failure, but the TV show made him seem like some kind of decisive business genius, so people voted for that. I wouldn’t be surprised if Zelenski was elected to lead Ukraine because he’d played the role on TV previously. A lot of it is unconscious, so people aren’t going to admit that that’s the reason why, but it has to be a factor.

        I’m sure it’s related to parasocial relationships and to stalkers. People think they know someone personally because they see them on TV or in movies, or hear them on the radio, or whatever.
