Are you part of a demographic that typically leans towards the dems? I've had a similar experience, and it seems to me like they've just abandoned certain target audiences.

100% not. I'm a young white dude who is self employed at my own LLC, which deals with firearms even. The GOP should be bombarding me with things but it's total silence.

Admittedly it's Washington so I'm probably not high priority, but the lack of anything from the GOP is bizarre. Not even a simple "Hey, do you wanna chip in $5 to help out?" or anything like that.

I've heard the Trump campaign is going broke and is pulling out of several states including my own.

This is likely, but will we know after the election if this was the case?

Yeah, there should at least be a state branch doing that. Maybe they're not using profiling software, but only targeting registered Republicans?

Even though your state is a write-off for Republicans, there are some districts that aren't deep-blue, right? There must be.

I think the number is exaggerated. Many libertarians are falsely labeled as auth-right once they become skeptical of democracy, but then they just join the ranks of Ancaps.

There's plenty of districts and counties that lean Republican, yeah. Honestly outside of the Puget Sound it's a pretty red state, which is why I've been so perplexed at the lack of any contact from even the state level party.

The Biden campaign at least is pursuing a very solid 50 state strategy.

I do not deny being right-wing, that is to be expected among capitalist libertarians.
