I suppose it's aimed at the sweet flowers living in walled suburbia, but it did nothing for me. This is the kind of ad they always do because they think the US is upper middle class. It's not, we've all been shoved down a class or three and we're struggling and we need to see that reflected. You know, they gave huge tax cuts to the richest and now there's nothing left for us kind of thing. Or this virus is out of control because Republicans won't listen to science.

Joe, I know you're a fighter. Lose the piano music and start hitting those motherless bastards as hard as I know you can. Our survival depends on it.

Please, this is constructive criticism, given in the spirit of wanting to win. Is anybody out there listening?
