Both parties are running these style ads in my area.

This is BY FAR the creepiest iteration I’ve seen.

I’m honestly surprised Republicans are doing this unless it’s extremely targeted.

Increasing voter turnout generally works against them.

Counterpoint: You’re the bad friend for asking your friend to help you with a dead body

This is the first clearly partisan one I’ve seen.

Mostly I’ve seen them as videos that plainly state. “Who you vote for is secret. Whether you vote is public record”. I did get one handwritten postcard saying the same.

I found them mostly “interesting” as a concept, but others have felt they’re threatening:

The first one I saw I looked up the “Paid for by…” entity and it was a Kamala PAC so I just kinda assumed they all were before seeing this.

I’ve mostly seen YouTube ads so not sure how to share those here. I happened to get another postcard today though, with the exact same wording is the one I linked to elsewhere in this thread:

If you look at votingmatters.org it says:

Paid for by the Democratic National Committee (202) 863-8000
This communication is not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.

they never shut the fuck up

Just wait til the day after the election thru the following 3.5 years

In 2016 the kids favored Clinton by 17 points (36% Trump to 53% Clinton)

11% went for Johnson

I finally caught another of the YouTube ads and it was paid for by futureforwardusa.org.

The message, again, was very generic with friendly animation and cheery music. The message was the same. “Your vote is private; whether you vote is public” with the addition of “make a plan to vote”.

Accusing a black woman of doing blackface is fucking weird.

Once they legalized coups, they lost all legitimacy in my opinion.

The SCOTUS situation is scarier than the POTUS situation which was already frightening enough.

If the billionaires are upset it’s a good sign you’re doing something right.

You should aim to drink at least 2 quarts (2 liters) of urine every 24 hours, and your urine should be light in color.

I keep drinking my urine, but it just keeps getting darker and darker with each pass 😭

Right leaning people hate him because he said he was a never trumper back in 2016

…also the far-right hate him because his wife isn’t white.

“While crime in Arizona is at an all-time high the Arizona Secretary of State’s office felt it was a good use of resources to send multiple agents across the country to storm an 80th birthday party like it was Normandy,” said Caroline Wren, a top GOP consultant, who hosted the birthday party at her home.

Ridiculous. It’s well known that Arizona had been looking for him for days if not weeks. He could have let them know where he was at any point before the party.

Rudy did this to himself.

Lincoln Project founder Rick Wilson: “Kamala came to Fox to stack bodies.”

😂

…and on a more serious note:

Former New York Congressman Max Rose called it “a home run, because she sent the one message that needs to be sent, which was, ‘I will go anywhere at any time and show the courage necessary to speak to every American,’ because that’s what a real president does. The primary critique against her prior to this point was that she was not doing enough interviews. No one thought that the Fox News interview was going to go swimmingly every step of the way. Everyone knew it would be adversarial, but she showed exactly what she needed to show, which was that she is a leader, ready to be president on Day One.”

Waiting for all the Maga folks to fall over each other in their rush to wish Biden well…

Republican Missouri secretary of state candidate Valentina Gomez just went on an unhinged rant attacking Vice President Kamala Harris on X, where she called her a “little wh*re,” as conservatives posted misogynist memes and jokes about Harris.

“Kamala Harris slept her way to the top, and Tulsi Gabbard already destroyed and exposed her in 2020. Kamala is just another DEI hire, and President Trump is going to eat her alive,” she said in a video.

I hate to break it to you but you’re never going to be racist or sexist enough to be fully accepted by them…

Friendly reminder not to feed the trolls. Just downvote and move on.

Laube deserved a light sentence, Carney said, because prosecutors should have focused on leftist groups

As if it has any bearing on this guy’s guilt or innocence.

I should have realized when they were complaining about “Activist judges” what they meant was there weren’t enough on their side.

3-5 Coins? Are they fucking nuts?!

Everyone knows 8 is the luckiest number.

3-5 averages to 4 which is extremely unlucky

*smdh*

a pair of men were fighting in a park when one pulled out a knife. Witnesses reportedly told the station that the men appeared “startled” by the massive police response, and that the men were fired upon by “numerous officers.”

That seems like a completely normal and reasonable response 🤡

I don’t know but if someone told me they listened to Joe Rogan, I would assume, the best case scenario is they are Libertarian. Worst case is Qanon nut job.

"I'm going to say something right now I've never said in my career before: we failed," Campbell continued. "We did not do our jobs. We failed Sonya. We failed Sonya’s family and friends. We failed the community. I stand here today before you with arms wide open to ask for forgiveness.”

Great. So how did you end up hiring this known asshole, and what are you going to do to keep it from happening again?

That headline doesn’t really do the article justice…

In a surprise announcement, the Republican National Committee has revealed it is bankrupt. A spokesman for the party said they had plenty of money in their accounts last week, but today they just don't know where the money has gone. But not everybody is going begging. Amnesty International, Greenpeace and the United Negro College Fund announced record earnings this week, due mostly to large, anonymous donations.

I didn’t know irony could be this disgusting

“Liz, livid at lettuce, leaves”

In case you weren’t sure which kind of slurring he was doing…

He sounded like a disoriented, racist Daffy Duck

…it was BOTH!

If they weren’t ashamed of the first three public pillars, I can’t even imagine how bad the private fourth pillar must be 😳

I can’t decide if this is more or less weird than wearing a diaper in support of Trum…no…it’s less weird…right?

This is your regular reminder that the only poll that matters is on November 5th

Wow - a whole trailer full of cowbells?

Well if she’s soooo unserious why would the Unicode consortium designate an emoji just for her?

🤡

“If I lose I’m throwing a temper tantrum”

Ok, but the world isn’t looking for the kind of peace Trump would broker.

What the world wants is for Russia to get the fuck out of Ukraine.

Oct 2016

“Make it so that, maybe like grandma or grandpa wants to help out a little bit more, or maybe there's an aunt or uncle who wants to help out a little bit more," he said.

Yes. We should all just get comfortable with getting by with less and be expected to work further into old age for free.

It’s really the best way we can increase shareholder value and help concentrate wealth at the top.

“We have the flight records of the helicopter,” Mr. Trump insisted Friday, saying the helicopter had landed “in a field,” and indicating that he intended to release the flight records, before shouting that he was “probably going to sue” over the Times article. 

The best part of the whole story was Trump’s response after the NYTimes asked to see the records of the alleged incident:

When asked to see the records, Trump responded mockingly, in a sing-song, childlike voice, repeating the question

Trump is much more used to doing one major event a week. This week, as his running mate J.D. Vance hit the road, Trump stayed home in Florida to fundraise and do interviews. After months of campaigning, it’s unclear whether Trump has the stamina to carry his campaign to November.

It’s ok Donnie - go take a nap and when you wake up in November it’ll all be over 😇
