"Political organization named after the demographic they intent to target releases an advertisement targeting their intended demographic"
Real quality political headlines lately.
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 ad itself? No.
Running the ad in swing state media markets? ✅
Shit. Should have just paid ME 1 million to post on Lemmy.
HEY! YOU! VOTE FOR HARRIS!!!
Money, please!
Money me. Money now.
Oh shit. As a white dude, I'm convinced.
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.
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!
I need to start a "Look, I don't like her either, but look at the alternative..." for Harris campaign. :)
Why don’t you like her?
As a DA she got caught suppressing evidence that would have exonerated innocent people. It should have barred her from being the VP pick to begin with.

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
