Waaaaaaaaaaaaait… I can have 2 drinks a day according to the U.S. government? Awesome.
What an interesting strategy. All this time we’ve been worried about deep fakes and stuff unduly influencing public opinion. Kudos to them for just shamelessly making shit up, very innovative, I’ll give them that.
Guys, this is an opportunity!
Biden needs to immediately push for legislation limiting everyone to no more than 30 beers a day. And that everyone must breathe air and eat food.
This problem will solve itself!
He once complained on Twitter about the Paris Accords, feigning ignorance of the name while asking why we’d be a part of something all the way in Europe. The man has a Harvard (or some other noble) education. He’s highly intelligent. He just knows that his constituents are under-educated and incurious about the world. He’s a lying sack of shit.
Similar to senator Kennedy from Louisiana. He talks like a stupid hick, but he’s a Rhodes scholar.
“What is it with liberals and wanting to control every damn aspect of your life?”
Last time I checked, it was the liberals who wanted to let you smoke weed, have safe and legal abortions, physician assisted suicide, single payer healthcare, and free college tuition…
Somebody else opposed all that… 🤔 Who was it again?
The “fun” part is that the Democratic party and the Republican party are both neoliberal parties. If you really want to melt the brain of conservatives, here’s one of my favorite phrases:
I’m not a Democrat, but I vote for them. They’re the only good conservative party left in this country!
That’s what pisses me off about the democrats. They have the political slogans right in fucking plain view. The Republicans have basically written them for them…nothing.
Massive billboards everywhere should have this plastered: We want you to be able to smoke and grow weed, have women make their own choices, paid college tuition, single payer healthcare, medicine affordable for seniors, and WE WONT COMMIT TREASON AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION!
It’s fucking bonkers.
People already know or are utterly brainwashed. Who do attack ads convince?
Then why do the other side do so well when they constantly yell about nothing? Yelling really seems to work.
Independants/undecided voters and people who don’t generally participate in democracy
Something like 60% of people vote in federal elections if we’re lucky. Obviously they aren’t all going to unanimously vote for only one party - but Republicans are notorious for showing up to vote on anything.
The number of people who are politically disengaged is staggering. What better to motivate those people than to prompt some anger over an issue and hope they care about it enough to stay angry and vote. Also important to note this stuff is never done alone, there’s other outreach happening at the same time. It’s a numbers game, and those few disengaged folks you got fired up with a stupid ad could make or break you.
That said, I think most attack ads are damaging to political discourse by nature of demanding a concise, pithy message. Never going to get genuine criticism out of that.
Dems have always took the high ground. Which is stupid. It gives the loud minority more reach. Look at space Laser lady.

No, that’s what progressives want. Liberals run on a subset of those sometimes, but then always have enough no votes to block them.
The same response can be posted to anything related to modern “conservatism”.
Fascists have no shame. If they didn’t have double standards they’d have none.
The propagandized are already in a bubble and refuse to accept reality. The fascist leadership can manufacture any alternate reality they want because the sheep will blindly follow.
Fascists make up false accusations about their intended victims not so that you will believe them and be misled, but as an insecure show of power.
By telling lies about you and getting away with it, they convince themselves that they are stronger and more deserving than you. This is basically a way to psych themselves up to commit crimes against humanity.
