Well, we don't know to what extent they did win over independent-leaning men, college educated republicans and republican women, because we don't know how much worse it would have been without their ads. So, maybe they did have in impact in their stated goal. Obviously, they didn't win over a very large percentage, but in an election like this a few are still important. I don't believe at all that their stated goal was their actual goal though, so I'm actually agreeing with that sentiment in the article and just nitpicking how much we can actually know if the ads had an impact on the election outcome.

It was obvious that independent-leaning, educated republican men and republican women were not the target audience of the ads anyways. Those ads were made to seize on the fervor of people who already hated Trump. They targeted a market that was emotionally worked up, fed them what they wanted and collected cash out of them for doing so.

Whether they had any impact on their stated target audience or not, the real goal was going after the market that would be happy to give them their money.

Firebot had a pretty big meltdown today. Time to recharge it with pails of malarky.

Reading this and your previous post, I don't know rube.

Am I to believe this indicates something? Or believe the baseless assertions of going too far left? About how AOC is bad news? About how Americans "don't want" these leftist ideologies? About how despite voting in favour of these exact things Americans clearly reject these things because somebody said so?

What does Jan have to say about this?

As nice as that will be they'll all be fine.

"I didn't agree with him, but I thought I could do some good"

They'll all get cushy book-deals, Fox/Breitbart/Sinclair Media commentary gigs, or slide into similar roles elsewhere in the GOP/conservative PAC's with his true believers (or folk who just want to channel Trumpism for their own ends).

I tell you... I really look forward to the day when creepy ass whackjob Rick Santorum doesn't look relatively sane anymore.

When we talk about unmarried men, they tend to not be the best people. They are slutty, losers, and some I assume, might be good people.

Vote me prezident!

I have to say, the Georgia elections administrator might be my favourite person in this entire process. Currently explaining to news organizations how to pronounce various places in Georgia while giving updates on the outstanding military ballots.

There are 8410 still out there that could come in by end of day, incidentally.

There are 4869 provisional ballots in Fulton, but only accepted 3600 or so. Damaged ballots were somewhere around 300 and will be added to tallies today.

I think this is an interesting argument, but one that I've struggled to answer time and again. Why is the (D) so toxic? Is it the Clinton years? They campaign on the things the electorate wants, yet they won't vote for them. It's not about being progressive as much as it is entirely about branding. Fox and other organizations have demonized them so much that much of the country no longer can even stomach voting for them.

I honestly don't have an answer for it.

Fixing it is actually simple, democrats need to govern in a way that provides tangible benefits to them. Exercise government power to fix their problems. The Democrat brand is trash because they stopped helping rural and working class voters decades ago. They sold out their jobs to China and told them to move across the country and learn to code and if they complained told them they were stupid because some economist said they were better off this way.

Your solution essentially boils down to trying to con them.

Too many voters don’t care enough about the axtual policies to look past the party name.
