Reminds me of that SNL skit he was in: https://youtu.be/7AWuBh1MbbM?si=UVg016Prcl9WbYYB

I love it. But I’d love more signs pointing out how much he hates veterans. That’s something I’d donate to.

And that he hates unions, in areas of high union population

Republican Voters Against Trump have been running veteran billboards for a while. The DNC has been running billboards calling him and anti-union scab.

I think the chicken angle hits a bit different though, a lot of people write off everything trump says as just talk, and many attacks seem to get ignored as slander, but the fact he’s unwilling to debate is a plain and uncontested fact, one that makes him look weak.

I want more about how he’s the only president to advocate for a complete gun ban.

I can’t believe Harris’s campaign isn’t pressing harder on that point.

I know about the time he said “take the guns, due process later”, and the blanket bump stock back, but was there more?

No, but that should be enough.

That’s more than most (maybe all?) elected Democrats have ever said.

And yet…

Him being afraid of debating Harris again makes me believe he’s a little less braindead than I could assume, lmao.

I’m just trying to imagine the person who drives through town, sees that sign, and makes up their mind on who to vote for based on that message.

Everyones mind is made up. At this point it’s just about turn out. If you can make a candidate look more Pathetic right before voting, the enthusiasm to support them by actually doing something that requires a little effort dwindles.

Does this actually boost turnout? Its not particularly functional. You’d maybe think signs about checking your registration and money to help people get to the polls more easily would be a better investment. Does it juice enthusiasm? Is someone seeing this and deciding to vote who otherwise wouldn’t?

If you can make a candidate look more Pathetic right before voting

That appears to be the pitch. Heckling Trump will somehow depress his base of support, rather than riling them up. People will see these signs and feel something other than contempt for the folks putting the banners up and it will become a reminder to show up to the polls.

Is that worth more than money kicked to a campaign office to GOTV the old fashioned way? Idk. Feels more like a campaign staffer is being cheeky and wasting campaign resources on a vanity project to me.

I think you drastically underestimate how many undecideds are in the county and sit and say nothing. There are many people that don’t decide until the day of. Go vote and don’t take it for granted.

But didn’t he say he won? While rattling off bingo numbers that seemed to have no correlation with the Polish?

Edit: Oh, god. I’ve gone for too many jokes at once. Maybe it’s time I have a kid so I can relish in their disappointment of such situations.

Edit Edit: Wow. I’m really pessimistic today.
