That’s a pretty small amount of money to the point where it probably shouldn’t be put in the headline as if it’s a massive investment lol. It almost could come across as “seriously? That’s it?”

Agree, but the organization has gotten nothing in the past, just volunteering. So, getting something 8s a good deal.
Totally! This makes it sound like the money is the big deal is the thing, not the fact that they’re doing it at all.
When you vote from abroad, you actually vote in the state you're from. So, their votes are diluted into the many states. Democrats Abroad, the link I provided, answer this by creating a computerized help tool. Frankly, 300K is not a small deal to them. Probably pays for hosting costs and then some.
That's less than the cost of a starter home these days lol
Which is really damn stupid because they are continually advertising on social media to me. Abroad... and British. Great way to spend!
These?
I understand the boat guy, it's easier to get across the ocean with him, but the others I'm having a hard time understanding their use.
Edit: sorry for the bad joke, but a few hundred k is small money for a presidential campaign, the mini figures might be a better investment
So, I know the context here, but phrasing. My first read of the headline had me thinking the Democratic strategy had really changed, lol. "Turning out" voters is a hell of a tactic.
