There’s a few separate threads of people responding to your comment regarding what marketing is, so it’s probably helpful to add what the guy actually said in the linked article (I know, who reads the article anymore🙄).
“Marketing is dead,” he said. “Marketing is dead. It truly is—I can back this shit up, man. There’s no channels anymore—it doesn’t work. You used to have marketing, communication, and PR. Marketing was essentially a retail theory—you were trying to get your box on the right point of the store shelf, and you have partnerships with retail stores. Those pipelines are gone. Now you’ve got the internet. Nobody is looking at ads anymore … all of the channels that we would usually market through are no longer really viable. So their function is also reduced by the fact that players just want to be spoken to. They don’t want to be bamboozled—they just want to know what you’re making and why you’re making it and who it’s for.”
I don’t like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...
100%. Blue MAGA’s going to come out in force on this thread. If you’re in CA or similar “will go blue no matter what” state, there’s no reason for principled leftists to vote for Biden. Same with “will go red no matter what” states.
You’d think if they really believed their own bs that democracy was at stake, they would do everything to court votes in swing states, such as, idk, the enormous Arab population in Michigan? Biden clearly prioritizes dead Gazan babies over “democracy.”
Yeah, but people also have blinders as to how the actual voting structure works. If you’re in CA/NY for dems or AL/MS for repubs, your vote basically doesn’t matter since those places will go blue/red no matter what, so you’re 100% free to vote for the person/platform you actually like! Any insinuation that you might vote for someone other than Biden is met with immediate scorn and ridicule.
