don’t forget the dehumanizing political ads being blasted nonstop in swing states. idk what i’d do if i had kids watching these games but the commercials are insanely inappropriate. “join ice” is a hell of a message for developing minds.

I’m not in a swing state but I’m right on the border with one so I get a lot of their commercials. I saw one the other day that literally said word for word “are you tired of illegal immigrants stealing your healthcare?”

Like what the fuck does that even mean? How could someone steal another person’s healthcare? Like picking up their prescription from the pharmacy?

yup, seen that one. they hired veterans to make it look like their benefits are being given away to give to undocumented people. just laying on the hate

There's only so much healthcare to go around. Once all the illegals use it there will be none left for the rest of us :(

If only there was an influx of new people that we could support and educate to work in healthcare. Idk where we would find such a group though.

Ah ok. I had walked away right before it came on so I just heard it from the other room. I didn’t see the part with the veterans. I figured it was just them stringing together a bunch of trigger words.

It doesn’t mean anything, but the people it’s targeting are too brainwashed to realize because it includes all of the keywords that trigger their rage

Yeah in texas the ads are more inappropriate than the shit they are "protecting" kids from

the ad attacking talarico for protecting trans kids has to be the bottom. not even addressing issues anymore, just “the dems will make your kids trans and jail you if you try to stop them”

I lose my shit with the one where the person declares, “teens are being convinced they need gender reassignment and getting sex change surgeries without their parents’ consent. I know, because I’m one of them.”

Getting the ads for Texas when I am in a completely different state is so annoying too.

The Paxton and Abbot ads here in Texas are sending us over. Completely insufferable

The Ossoff/Bottoms vs Collins/Jackson ads are crazy here in GA.

Imagine being me, an Ohioan, getting Ohio and Texas slop on every major broadcast.

Not even a swing state and while brushing my teeth last night, I got blasted with "did you know my opponent wants to use tax payer dollars to turn us all trans?!?!"
