Everybody has heard/seen the add that the Trump campaign put out to blame Democrats for any murder committed by an illegal.
Now stop and think about it, how many bills/programs have the Republicans come up with the can or will harm the masses? Lots. Democrats should be putting out comparable ads on those bills/programs. Republicans want to go after social security/medicare? I envision a nice ad showing the masses that the Republicans are stealing their money that they pay into those programs with every paycheck. An Oceans 11 heist ad perhaps?
Think of some of the literature that they could select from to create ads regarding the movement of wealth to the 1%ers over the masses. Reduce the food stamp program - a starving Oliver Twist being denied food by Paul Ryan.
Equate Republican destruction of public education with the Islamic attitude on educating girls.
There is a lot of material for the Democrats to select from. The ads should not lecture the viewers but use a good hook to get a quick message out before the viewers change the channels.

(67,453 posts)all that money steyer wastes promoting himself (oops I mean calling for trump impeachment) could be used much more effectively. like run a brief add showing democrat's benefits to the USA:
social security - dems voted for it, repubs voted against it
medicare - dems voted for it repubs voted against it
minimum wage, 40 hr work week, and so on

(6,979 posts)It's astounding that people don't understand that thuglicans are fine with repealing every facet of health care which would KILL millions of people. They're trying to KILL us, and people just don't grasp that. Even friends of mine still don't quite get it, telling me that we can't sink down to their level whatever the HELL that means. I say okay then, if you or a family member loses your health care and you or them ends up dying as a result, I guess you will have shown THEM, oh boy We're in a damn machete fight against thuglicans who know how to and who will USE those machete's against us.
What's NOT to understand about that?
