Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Overall, an engaging ad, and it speaks to me, a White (College Educated) Dude. My only criticism of the ad is it is too long. I hope they have a 30 second version!
"Political organization named after the demographic they intent to target releases an advertisement targeting their intended demographic"
Real quality political headlines lately.
The PAC is actually called Beige Rainbows. So the title isn’t really correct.
It’s important to campaign to disaffected white dudes as much as any other group. The bigger the margin of the win, the more we can get done.
Eh I'll take it, better than reading about candidates continuing to defend a fake news conspiracy about immigrants eating pets or whatever horrible thing they focus on next
As sad as it is, it's actually kinda refreshing to see a mundane headline regarding politics
I don't get it - did THIS ad cost 10M$ ?
Here's a swing state rep explaining it. Sorry for a reddit link but it was this or tiktok
Thank you!
The ads themselves don't cost much. Really, it's just a voiceover of scenes for every political ad. What costs money is getting it in front of voters' eyes.
Lots of money trades hands during election season, and it's all about getting ads in front of influence-able people and getting them to do the thing you want them to do (vote for me!!!!).
I do have my criticisms about the ad. It spends too many seconds articulating the message "White dudes can easily vote for Harris/Walz and you should to save the US from Donald Trump." It should be shorter, IMNSHO. But you'll be surprised at how little money goes to the designers and actors for an ad, compared to the metric fuckton of money that gets put into the pockets of advertisers and media companies.
Haven't thought of it that way! Makes total sense when you put it that way. Thanks
No worries!
The ad itself? No.
Running the ad in swing state media markets? ✅
Shit. Should have just paid ME 1 million to post on Lemmy.
HEY! YOU! VOTE FOR HARRIS!!!
Money, please!
Oh shit. As a white dude, I'm convinced.
Money me. Money now.
I need to start a "Look, I don't like her either, but look at the alternative..." for Harris campaign. :)
Why don’t you like her?
As a DA she got caught suppressing evidence that would have exonerated innocent people. It should have barred her from being the VP pick to begin with.

Did you know defense attorneys also hide evidence that could help incriminate their clients?
It does not really appear she did anything out of line with other prosecutors.
There was a lab scandal and her office dismissed over a thousand cases according to the article.
The article also cited a man on death row who wanted additional DNA testing on an appeal. Harris opposed this but has since changed her mind and recommended the governor grant the request. The man is still alive to this day.
I am hoping you have another article or source about this. I would really like to know because I have a general distrust of most prosecutors.
If there is some real dirt on Harris, I would like to know.
