    “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

      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.

    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!

    I need to start a “Look, I don’t like her either, but look at the alternative…” for Harris campaign. :)

          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.
