'Nasty ads' the Democrats SHOULD HAVE RUN in the 'swing states'----

In this state (Michigan), and I suspect the other swing states, we were overwhelmed with the anti-Kamala ads about how she wanted the government to pay for trans sex-change operations in prisons (which was actually the TRUMP policy, but nevermind that)--- those were the "Willie Horton" ads of the 2024 campaign!

I felt that the Democrats and Harris campaign needed to counteract those, but they never did---
even with ATTACK ads which had NOTHING to do with that policy--
just something far enough down the low road to neutralize them

(I made a suggestion for one somewhere here, but now I forget what I suggested--
but it was something with the gloves completely off---
maybe an ad about Trump's alleged rape of that young teenager
who had been pressing charges, but ultimately disappeared,
and now no one knows whatever became of her---
)

That's what I mean about "taking the gloves off"---
yeah, the charges were never proven--- BUT---

NOBODY IS EVER HELD RESPONSIBLE BY THE VOTERS FOR ADVERTISING COMPLETE OUTRIGHT LIES ANYMORE !!!--
as the Republicans have proven--- but on that particular issue, there were actually some court filings---

Advertise THAT one, and the LONG LIST of REPUBLICANS
who have ACTUALLY BEEN CHARGED OR CONVICTED
of CHILD RAPE and/or sexual abuse--- and RUN THAT DAY AND NIGHT
for the last week or two of the campaign---

That's what I would have done. I think GQP child rape "Trumps" prison sex-change operations,
but you have to run the ads, and run the everlasting FUCK out of them....


but Democrats are "too polite" to run ads like that...

We need to stop coming to an artillery battle with butter knives,
just because we think 'we are better than that'
or we 'go high when they go low'...

All our good intentions amount to nothing if we lose the campaign.

WIN IT, WHATEVER THE MEANS---
and we can be the 'good people' afterwards-- when it counts!!

If that's all the fight that anyone has left in them here.... maybe I should give up as well.

Of posters who have exhorted DUers with the phrase, "You people....:"

Give it a rest. Move on. Nothing is to be gained by castigating your old allies.
