    Unfortunately, these shows aren’t why it’s a coin flip. The tim cast channel has just over 1 million subscribers and the recent episodes struggle to crack 100k on the best days.

    The reason the election is a coinflip is cause there’s swathes of the US that are barely connected to any form of media except fox news and spend their days in ultra-conservative ultra-religious echo chambers.

    Don’t get me wrong, the foreign and domestic shadowy investment money is working, just not the portion that was allocated to propping up the tim cast.

      A million subscribers in the swing states is not easily dismissed. If the election was just a popular vote I’d agree, his numbers are inconsequential. But unfortunately it’s the swing states that really matter for the presidential election.
