    “Political organization named after the demographic they intent to target releases an advertisement targeting their intended demographic”

    Real quality political headlines lately.

      Eh I’ll take it, better than reading about candidates continuing to defend a fake news conspiracy about immigrants eating pets or whatever horrible thing they focus on next

      As sad as it is, it’s actually kinda refreshing to see a mundane headline regarding politics

    Overall, an engaging ad, and it speaks to me, a White (College Educated) Dude. My only criticism of the ad is it is too long. I hope they have a 30 second version!

      The ad itself? No.

      Running the ad in swing state media markets? ✅

      The ads themselves don’t cost much. Really, it’s just a voiceover of scenes for every political ad. What costs money is getting it in front of voters’ eyes.

      Lots of money trades hands during election season, and it’s all about getting ads in front of influence-able people and getting them to do the thing you want them to do (vote for me!!!).

      I do have my criticisms about the ad. It spends too many seconds articulating the message “White dudes can easily vote for Harris/Walz and you should to save the US from Donald Trump.” It should be shorter, IMNSHO. But you’ll be surprised at how little money goes to the designers and actors for an ad, compared to the metric fuckton of money that gets put into the pockets of advertisers and media companies.

    I need to start a “Look, I don’t like her either, but look at the alternative…” for Harris campaign. :)
