1. Fucking sweet! Everyone has seen about a million Sam Elliot memes thrown around by MAGAts. That always pissed me

off because he did not approve. The only reason they use him are pics in character where he's dressed western or however you want to put it.

[PunkinPi]

5. Magats have weird assumptions about masculinity/femininity and that leads to some stupid conclusions. nt

[BaronChocula]

46. So did Sam Elliott

He had made some hateful comments about the movie "Power of the Dog." I had him in the doghouse and when I went to google it now, I found he apologized. Glad he lent his voice to this ad. I guess I can let the grudge go.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. It's Time to be a man and VOTE for a woman

One of TLP most POWERFUL ads. The music chosen is PERFECT.

[PunkinPi]

3. Yea, I love it! nt

[wordstroken]

24. That last line. Wow!!

That should really reach some if the macho hold-backs.

[DemonGoddess]

4. I am soooo glad

he brings up the "woman thing". IMO, that's why this race is so tight

[PunkinPi]

6. I'm glad they brought that up too...

gender and race/ethnicity are definitely a part of why it is so close for sure.

[soldierant]

64. Of course it is.

That was what really caused Hillary Clinton's loss. Misogyny is the world's oldest and strongest manifestation of othering.

Al least gender is a thing which exists (all of them). Racism is about somethingt that is totally made up. With a small nod to bits of Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA, we are all the same race - homo sapiens.

And one can't really fight it by talking about it. People don't believe they are misogynists, and the more evidence that they are, the more they dig in their heels. I think "If it'd the woman thing, it's time to get over it" may just be the best possible way to approach it.

7. That's good. Sam used the eff word, too

[Botany]

19. Yup!

On Trump: “Are we going down that same broken fucking road?”

[Native]

49. and I've read that Kamala's favorite swear word is mother****er

[Clash City Rocker]

58. "Motherf-f-former president"

[John1956PA]

8. In 2016, Mr. Elliot was circumspect about his preferred candidate.

He did not make an endorsement in 2016.

It perturbed me that in 2016 lying Trump meme-makers disseminated false memes which disparaged Hillary and which used pirated images of Mr. Elliot as purported endorsements. The gullible MAGAs believed the memes and were taken in by the lie that Mr. Elliot endorsed Trump.

9. This is a great ad

[Joinfortmill]

10. 'Fucking' awesome!

[hlthe2b]

11. OOOOOH, that is GOOD. "Time to be a MAN and VOTE FOR A WOMAN" --Sam Elliott is a perfect choice

He's not only legendary, but ohhh, that voice! Thank you, Sam.

[lark]

12. SWEET!

Loved "be a man, vote for a woman"!

[LymphocyteLover]

13. Love it!!!

perfectly said

[Backseat Driver]

14. Oh yeah - I'm Backstreet Driver, and I approve this message! n/'t

[PunkinPi]

16. Off topic (sort of), but your username gave me a lol...

because a friend made a video in 2019 of Kamala responses as horoscope signs and mine (Virgo) was that she refers to herself as a "backseat, front seat driver" and it always makes me laugh b/c of the accuracy.

I found the video on TT (not sure how to embed as I don't do TT and I can't find the tweet)...

[Backseat Driver]

21. Thanks, I'm a Cappy, and I enjoyed that video and the many sides of Kamala, the candidate for all signs!

[PunkinPi]

31. I like that..."Kamala, the candidate for all signs" :) nt

[DoBW]

15. Sam Elliot ties it altogether

Shut the fuck up Donnie

[AllyCat]

34. Perfect response!!

[bdamomma]

17. great ad!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes exactly, some people need to grow up!!!! and vote for a woman!!!!!

[bdamomma]

18. Kick for visibility

nt

[niyad]

20. KNR plus millions!

[musclecar6]

32. Outstanding

That ad embodies everything we are thinking on this side.

Hopefully the Republicans will wake up and do the right thing. Not for us of course, but for themselves. Otherwise, they are going to get fucked so bad they won't believe it, just like Hitler did in Nazi Germany back in the day and then it'll be too late.

The Orange Menace is telling them in no uncertain terms, he is going be a modern day Adolf Hitler. He even made it easy to understand with that project 2025 manifesto. It spells it out very clearly we are going to be in Nazi America if you reelect him.

[Devilsun]

22. Conservative heads exploding in 3,2 1.

[myohmy2]

23. wow...

"It's time to be a man and vote for a woman."

...The Dude would...

...this dude abides...

[Katinfl]

25. Time to be a man and vote for a woman.

Love that line! Says it all. Great ad.

[SunSeeker]

26. Wow. Loved that!

[SunsetDreams2]

27. Excellent Ad

“It’s time to be a Man and vote for a woman”
Thanks for sharing!

[Deuxcents]

28. 💙

[Joinfortmill]

29. oops

[hawkeye21]

30. Love the ad, love Sam Elliot, and love the straight talk

Sam lays it out there exactly as it is. There are no excuses, no explanations for voting for the gutless MAGA felon. None. So if it's the woman thing guys, be a man and vote for someone with courage, empathy, and integrity. Vote for the prosecutor, not the felon.

[Mme. Defarge]

33. FORMIDABLE!!!!!

[birdographer]

35. BEST AD YET in my opinion!

Yikes! I hope this runs everywhere.

[highplainsdem]

36. Wow! Incredible ad!

[Collimator]

37. I am all over the place with this ad.

On the one hand, I LOVE it; on the other hand, I'm questioning why I love it.

As an anthropology major who attended a women's college, I can't tell you how much thought that I have put into considering what it means to "Be a man" versus what it means to "Be a woman".

What it comes down to --and I know that no one here will disagree with me--is being a responsible adult who values integrity. The MAGA crowd are driven by their ego needs. They love Trump because he tells them that they are special and supports their grievances. He-- and they-- are children clinging to their comforts and fighting against the painful challenges of change. . . Which the entire universe is founded upon.

So, by all means, I support Vice President Harris. Sometimes change comes about quickly and sometimes it moves at a glacial pace. To be a man-- or a woman-- means facing reality and trying the wrest the best solutions out of our circumstances in order to serve the greater good for as many people as possible.

I guess what I am saying to myself here, as much as anyone else, is that the opposite of "Being a man" is NOT "Being a woman". It is being a child.

40. Always loved Sam Elliott and this just made me swoon.

I just finished watching the series The Ranch last weekend. I have lived out of the country so I missed it when it aired.
Sam is my favorite and his use of cuss words set the tone for the whole series.

I got a tear in my eye listening and watching this ad. This is outstanding.
LOVE it.

[rogerballard]

41. I take it these ads play on TV?

I watch Netflix and other stuff on computer, no regular TV at all. What kind of shows and timeslots is this ad run on? This is a great one.

[PunkinPi]

42. I think this may only be an online ad, but I know TLP has run ads on TV before. nt

[rogerballard]

43. Thank you

I guess the "fucking" part would not make prime time, it might on the premium channels.

[PunkinPi]

44. You're welcome, and you're correct about the "fucking" part. nt

[LeftInTX]

66. Not unless they remove the "F-word"

[rogerballard]

68. I know I am getting old and senile

probably a stupid question on my part lol

[Cha]

45. WOW... Outstanding!! Mahalo, TLP, Sam Elliot, & PunkinPi!

[bdamomma]

47. Kick

love this ad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kimbutgar]

48. I was watching Randi Rhodes and she said this is not Sam Elliott but a sound alike

I checked in the internet and Sam Elliott is a proud liberal. I called her show and the person answering said before I said anything that yes we know it really is Sam Elliott !

I’m having a good chuckle over that one!

[Number9Dream]

50. This needs to be on national TV ads

They can censor the one F-bomb, and use the remainder. Hearing Sam Elliot's voice, folks will listen.

We also need to run many more negative, anti-Trump TV ads. I'm just seeing hardly any here in east central PA. Time is running out and I'm seeing many ads slamming Ms. Harris, but very few slamming Trump. I'd hate to lose the election by going easy on Trump.

[byronius]

51. That. Is. Awesome.

[hamsterjill]

52. OMG. This brought tears and shivers to me!!'

I have seen all of the MAGA memes for years with Sam Elliott’s picture. He’s one of their heroes.

This is priceless!!! I am so grateful that this man did this!!!

[PunkinPi]

54. It's weird how maga doesn't realize Sam Elliot was never on their side...

he did an ad for Joe Biden in 2020.

[hamsterjill]

62. I had forgotten that he had voiced an ad for Joe.

Thanks for reminding me.

Yes, MAGA’s just try to “take” what they want and pay no attention to facts, laws, rules, etc. Look at how many musicians have had to try to stop Trump from using their music.

I am hopeful…

[regnaD kciN]

53. The same Sam Elliot...

…who has been appearing as a supposed MAGAt in tons of AI-generated Facebook ads recently?

[fierywoman]

55. To my utter delight, these ads keep getting better and better !!!

[Jack Valentino]

56. "It's time to BE a man, and VOTE for a woman!"

That is excellent, especially with Sam Elliot as the narrator!

[Picaro]

57. I am of the generation that started saying "fuck"

Does the fact that the script for this ad has Sam Eliot intoning, “the same broken fucking road” represent some rubicon crossed or is this just a confirmation that somehow “fuck” has become the perfect word?

It is no longer obscene, but it can definitely get people’s attention. It is the perfect fucking word.

I guess I answered my own question…😉

[regnaD kciN]

59. Maybe...but does he have to use so many cuss words?

[ailsagirl]

60. EXCELLENT!!

[Martin68]

61. Wow! The Republican Project is making the most powerful ads out there. I want to thank them.

[jeffreyi]

63. Heh. Doesn't seem to be on xitter any more.

[Stinky The Clown]

65. Its time to be a man and vote for a woman

Y E S !
