Wow, shaming Trump cultists -- good klook Apr 2020 #2

They are great ads but I have yet to see one anywhere but here. GemDigger Apr 2020 #3

I feel your pain wasn't meant for white supremacists JI7 Apr 2020 #39

I didn't see the protesters as white supremacists. What in the ad implies that they are? n/t thesquanderer Apr 2020 #43

It was actually for an HIV-AIDS activist who died a few months later Recursion Apr 2020 #47

wow, i knew about the aids activist but didn't know JI7 Apr 2020 #65

Yup. Funny how that works Recursion Apr 2020 #66

If you're trying persuade people on the other side... thesquanderer Apr 2020 #18

This ad is more likely to stir those who sat out 2016 to get out and vote this time. yellowdogintexas Apr 2020 #55

Agree! nt pazzyanne Apr 2020 #56

And not even then. They will assign blame onto another party rather than the one responsible. nt Ferrets are Cool Apr 2020 #67

that's fine, but then, what exactly is the ad designed to accomplish? n/t thesquanderer Apr 2020 #32

I thought it was pretty self explanatory. patphil Apr 2020 #36

That's what it *says,* but what is it trying to *accomplish*? thesquanderer Apr 2020 #41

And how does one vote for one side or the other? thesquanderer Apr 2020 #42

Just whom is insulting whom? GusBob Apr 2020 #45

Didn't think hard, but the ad insults protesters and (by extension) those who sympathize with them, thesquanderer Apr 2020 #48

They hate you. paleotn Apr 2020 #57

Assuming you're right about all that, how does the ad help? What does it accomplish? (n/t) thesquanderer Apr 2020 #59

Viewed the ad twice. I think it's meant to make people think Raven123 Apr 2020 #68
