Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
The PAC is actually called Beige Rainbows. So the title isn’t really correct.
It’s important to campaign to disaffected white dudes as much as any other group. The bigger the margin of the win, the more we can get done.
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
I don't get it - did THIS ad cost 10M$ ?
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.
Haven't thought of it that way! Makes total sense when you put it that way. Thanks
No worries!
Here's a swing state rep explaining it. Sorry for a reddit link but it was this or tiktok
Thank you!
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!
All advertising is unethical. No exceptions.
You hear that, campaigns for abused children?
Why are the abused children campaigning? They're too young to be president. Waste of money. Smh
“Free Tomatoes, Take One!”
Unethical
I take one and throw it back at them
Shame you'll never be able to tell that to anyone
