Kamala "Middle Finger" ad now running here in GA

Elderly woman talking about how Trump wants to cut SS. The killer line comes when she says "Cutting SS is like giving the middle finger to the Middle Class".

I am reminded of a woman I ran into in the supermarket who was railing how she would never allow her kids to go to college as "that is where they learn weird stuff and start using drugs". This was from a woman who looked to be on meth with her sores all over her neck and arms and looked like she had not slept in months.

15. Amazing that there are enough ignorant white wingers to keep him viable

I guess this is what it was like in Germany as Hitler rose to power. Remember, he only got 33% of the vote. Enough to paralyze the government and blackmail them into giving him the Chancellorship.

Win or lose, Trump is doing much better.

Every election season I feel frustrated because our ads don't really punch where it hurts. But not this year! I think the Lincoln Project set the standard this time around and Kamala is running with it.

Harris ads need to start pointing out the crazy, and frankly dangerous things Trump has said and done. All I see in Georgia are Trump ads blaming Harris for every crime any immigrant has ever committed. It’s pretty ironic when you consider that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies, and fined for stealing from a charity and running a scam school.

some of that crap will stick with these ignorant voters. I wish Harris campaign would hit back the same way. They certainly have enough truthful ammunition for it.

For a rape. Since it was past the statute of limitations he couldn’t be found criminally responsible.

Wisconsin too. The side of evil keeps hammering the bigotry line about transgenders mixed in with overt racism.
