The yes on Measure J campaign is more cash strapped compared to the mostly meat industry funded opposition. They are more of a grassroots campaign. If you have the means, they can use donations or volunteers to help out

And the "..." wasn't even me editing the headline, that was in the original headline

It didn't say "have to" as in you are legally obligated to. It says why "it's best to" and explains why 3rd parties act as spoilers in the first past the post system and how voting for a 3rd party can lead to the exact opposite person winning than who you want

Well some of the criticism is from Republicans too

Not OP, but while it's obviously not a swing for president, it's worth reminding that down ballot races matter everywhere. New York is a good part of the reason why republicans got a narrow majority in the house in 2022 and can be a part of how we flip it back

Ironically, if you do that with Alaska, you'd think it's already blue. Here's alaska in 2016

Keep in mind that there have only been 3 polls in Alaska since Biden dropped out and one of those was a republican sponsored one

Yes it's more likely than not that Trump wins alaska, but data is limited. It's still a low but not a zero percent chance he doesn't. Regardless of this cycle, it keeps moving closer each election and certainly could be a competitive state in the future for president

Oops should be fixed now

 

Alaska has been moving more and more democratic over the past decade or so but has been largely under most people's radar

Democrats won Alaska's at large house seat in 2022. There was also recently a major flip in the Fairbanks Alaska borough earlier this week a democrat won the mayor race despite it voting R+15 in 2020. Though Alaska does split their vote more than other states

Polling is rather limited in Alaska which makes it harder to tell exactly how things are going on for the presidental race. Some put Harris within striking distance. It's possible for it to end up flipping this cycle or in the near future

AOC held an amoung us stream in 2020 that got over 400 thousand viewers. That was the third most concurrent views ever on a single Twitch stream at the time
