    But, of course, if that were the case his vote total would be lower in all of his district and it was not.

      That’s not how that works, different communities consume different forms of media and at different rates.

        So, you’re saying that people in the Bronx don’t have TVs?

          I’m saying people in the suburbs seem more adept at picking up garbage takes

          But more pointedly, suburban households are more likely to purchase cable television packages or engage in live TV coverage, where a majority of that spending took the form of advertisements.

            I worked in NYC a lot. Which is the reason I still watch NYC TV. Local stations had quite a number of Latimer commercials, which you can pick up with an antenna BTW. The Bronx saw the same number of commercials. Yet they still broke Bowman’s way when the suburbs did not. Occums razor.

              Look up public television viewership numbers based on income, ask me whether or not the Bronx WATCHED Latimer’s commercials, or even saw them.

                Occums razor still applies. What is more logical? That Bowman couldn’t carry the suburbs because he didn’t appeal to them, or because of advertising? Hey, I like the Bronx, and I know they get as much crap during political season as the next guy. It wasn’t advertising, it was Bowman himself.

                  Someone gets outspent by a factor of 7, and you think the most likely reason is the candidate? I don’t know man, I think you’re not applying Occam’s* Razor appropriately.

                    Again, if money was the reason, his whole district would have voted the same way. It did not.

            In case you needed a source

              Nuts that anyone would need a source for “people with different incomes consume different media”.

              If you’re too dumb to understand that, you’re too dumb to read an academic study.
