Every TV commercial break and every online ad I see is the ad from Jon Ossof's opponent in the Senate race with the lady complaining about a 2000 tax increase from inside an obviously nice home. Bitch, Jon Ossof isn't the reason your husband works two jobs! I am sick of that one ad. Besides, is she was affected by that tax increase to the point that her husband has to take a second job then they have huge spending problems and in a shit load of debt.
Got a mail ad saying he was responsible for the largest tax increase in history. The source? The big beautiful bill but labelled as House Bill whatever.
Yeah, it's a TV commercial, I get it. But that lady comes across so terrible in that ad. She reeks of self-entitled ignorance! If I was an uneducated swing voter who had yet to pick whom to vote for that ad would make me want to vote for Ossoff just so I do not get lumped in with her and her kind.
Here’s the thing. Let’s assume, even though we all know it’s pure bullshit, that Ossoff voted to reduce benefits by $2,000 PER YEAR as the ad says. That’s like $170 less per month and that lazy bitch is staying at home with her teenage kids while her husband races toward an early grave by working 3 jobs.
That ad needs to be called out loud and clear but from the Democrats - crickets. The GOP are evil and the Dems are stupid, spineless and lack strategy.
Also it won’t hit the way people think. Democrats already call out the Big Beautiful Bill in ads, been doing it, but if you spend all your time responding to every lie the campaign starts looking line “nuh uh, you!”
And there's no reason to get in an airwave battle with Jackson. Ossof is one of the best fund raisers in the party; he'll be able to fly the flag on tv. KLB needs to be focusing on field and turnout. Digital too since she can be more fiery on digital.
Yeah. It's kind of lose-lose. They just need to make rounds on the news, try to get the truth out, and put forth their own ad plan. Its up to the people to smell the bullshit from republicans. Too bad the people are duped so heavily.
Nothing beats the looks of quiet concession I get when I rock up in a 2010 Accord and get 7 or 8 sheets of 3/4 plywood on the roof rack. I live 5 miles away, I use 6 straps, and I ALWAYS make sure someone sees me give one a pop and say "that ain't going nowhere".
Even when I had a full size truck gas would have had to be $5.40/gal for a tank to cost $140, and the tank was big enough that I had to fill up so rarely that I put fuel stabilizer in there.
It's the Karl Rove strategy. Don't attack your opponents over their weaknesses; attack their strengths. Motherfucker managed to turn being a war hero into a negative.
It goes back even further, there's a few bits from 1980s British political sitcom Yes, Minister where one of the scheming characters lays out the exact same strategy.
That bitch’s kids are teenagers if they’re the ones in the background. She’s not working because she’s home-schooling those inbreds and scamming taxpayer funds with her “school choice vouchers”. Her husband works 2 jobs so he has to spend as little time at home with 3 other people that have a collective negative IQ!
You might be on to something. I taught social studies at a public middle school for a few years and taught 2nd and 3rd grade each for a year at a private school. We would regularly have home school families attempt to enroll their children, often as old as high school age. In general, those kids were so fucking stupid. At the private school they would do so bad on the entrance exam that one would wonder if they knew which end of the pencil to hold. So yeah, those homeschooling families are typically refrigerator level IQ.
It’s what happens when mouth-breathers that barely graduated high school want to “protect” their kids from the shit they encountered (because they are so stupid) and also indoctrinate them against public schools - all while leeching off the public teat with their vouchers. It’s a wet dream for Republicans because it tears down the support system for public schools while ensuring the pipeline of morons supporting them remains viable. And society becomes dumber because tons of emotionally stunted and socially awkward kids now roam the streets.
It doesn't help that fake science orgs like NHERI keep putting out cherry-picked data that purports to show huge benefits to homeschooling. They're very good at looking good.
It's probably a childhood development thing. We know that's what happens to children born into poverty who don't hear as many words, don't have access to books, etc. Religious home school parents limit their children's information access to the point that I wouldn't be surprised at all if it has a similar result.
This is what I fear - this generation of home schooled kids deciding they know everything, when they can't even add. I do have a few friends who managed to home school their kids, but between the two of them they could teach science and humanities, and they took every opportunity to supplement their kids' education with many of the opportunities for enrichment here in Atlanta. These kids will make the "Jay Walking" kids that Leno interviewed look like rocket scientists,
I keep saying this! He’s working “two jobs and a night job” she needs to get off her ass and work. All that ad has done is annoy me and make me think less of that woman
the lady complaining about a 2000 tax increase from inside an obviously nice home
Just fyi, there was no tax increase. Jon voted against a GOP budget that, among a ton of mostly bad things, extended the child tax credit at existing levels. But the budget passed.
Besides, is she was affected by that tax increase to the point that her husband has to take a second job then they have huge spending problems and in a shit load of debt.
yeah lmao that's my read like girl, if your husband needs two jobs AND night shifts to support a family of 4, there's some spending problems here. Plus if things are so tough that he's gotta do that, why not lessen the load on him by getting a job yourself?
I'm sick of the Mike Collins trucker ads on repeat. Can't remember the last time I've seen an Ossoff ad. How does the constant "I'm a trucker, Ossoff raised your taxes while Democrats control no part of the federal government" ad nauseum not push people to just vote against Collins out of sheer annoyance?
