You didn't provide an example of a single good Democratic ad. That's because there aren't any. If you asked me to provide examples of good advertising for Democrats, I would provide links to either LP or Meidas Touch. I wish I'd be put in charge of the Dem's advertising, because I could make some ads that would actually be effective.

I could argue that NO political advertising changes people's minds. We're at the point where no facts or reality will get in the way of a Republican's belief that the 2020 election was stolen from them. Half the country has decided to embrace lunacy. I won't be even slightly surprised if Donald Trump wins the 2024 election.

I've thought Democrats do lame advertising for at least the past 40 years. Republicans are very effective about sowing distrust about Dem candidates, and it doesn't matter if it's completely divorced from reality. See: Kerry, John - swift boated, or Clinton, Hillary - BeNGhAzI!!!!!!!!!!.

Trashing HRC was a clearly identified Russia strategy for attacking HRC, first by comparing her with that racist, sexist, grifter Bernie then by comparing her with that racist, sexist, criminal Trump.

You can not stop yourself from reflectively trashing her.

You are like the poster child of Putin's Useless Idiots in America.

And speaking of idiocy, I notice you did not deny using Norton. Which says much about your quality.

"You didn't provide an example of a single good Democratic ad. That's because there aren't any."

Point to a good Lincoln Project ad- one that you have some reason to believe convinced anyone- anyone at all- who wasn't already a Trump opponent to vote against him.

"I could argue that NO political advertising changes people's minds."

You could, but that would likely not be true. Here, you are making the claim that the Lincoln Project was effective- I've said I don't believe they were. I don't think they convinced anyone who wasn't already anti-Trump, and I think they did make a lot of money for themselves off those people who were.

"Republicans are very effective about sowing distrust about Dem candidates, and it doesn't matter if it's completely divorced from reality. See: Kerry, John - swift boated, or Clinton, Hillary - BeNGhAzI!!!!!!!!!!."

I have seen that- as I mentioned, the Lincoln Project guys were the ones who did those things. In support of Republicans.

If you're going to insist that they are effective, please tell me why you think they are. What evidence have you seen that makes you think their adverts did anything other than make liberals go "YEAH!" when they saw them?

Team Hillary lost. Team Hate Women won. You should celebrate and be happy. You won.

I sent postcards to voters, gave money to Dems, made hundreds of phone calls and worked to elect team D.

You screamed relentless to anyone who would listen that she sucked, that they should not vote for her, yadda yadda sexist bullshit. You and yours were heard. You made a difference, congrats.

You got your rapey hate validated. Own it.

You may have me confused with someone else, or you're just making shit up. Can't decide which.

Other narcissistic assholes.

I don't know, narcissists are mostly interested in themselves, and will follow another narcissist who feeds their own egos, but not everyone who wants a loyal following actually gets one. We rarely hear from Tulsi Gabbard anymore: once in a while her opinion on something gets quoted in the media for some reason but she didn't get a slot on Fox, and the Pepes who were calling her Mommy have moved on.

Buy a mirror. It will show the "confused" person whose virulent hatred of all things Clinton provides a pitiful self-justification for failing to oppose Trump.

All things Clinton? No, actually I think Bill was the best Republican president of my lifetime, fortunately a stained blue dress distracted Congress before he could privatize Social Security.

You really are the marginal IT guy for the cops aren't you? Used to openly lying, then DEMANDING people spend time documenting your lies then lying about something else.

You are genuinely pathetic.

Congrats, you helped elect Trump. You can just touch yourself all over about the people who have died because they did not worship your rightness.

IT guy for the cops? No, I helped run the largest access control system on the planet for 8 years before retiring last year. You can look me up on LinkedIn if you want. Worked with various police department IT departments earlier in my career to set up their security systems.

Haven't lied about anything, except Clinton being a Republican of course. He just instituted a big portion of their program for them. Here's why their attempt to to privatize Social Security failed.

You opposed HRC and supported Trump. You own that.I am sure you had many opportunities, being a marginally competent blowhard asshole old white man in tech. I bet you ran Norton AV.

W wanted to privatize Social Security. You are a liar and a rape apologist.

You are a serial hater of women, opposed HRC, and thereby supported Trump. You should own your own repulsive behaviors.

So you didn't read the link. Congratulations on having preserved your blinkers and avoiding the real world.

Here is what Clinton *actual did as President*.https://clintonwhitehouse5....

You are the only one who does not see your racism, sexism, and general hatery. You embrace terrible things: supporting Trump, rape advocacy, and general useful idiocy. You say you do not want to be that person. But you say you do not want to be that.

So be a decent person. You have a choice.
