The Republicans have ads ready to go across the nation after our historic night. Where are Democratic ads?????

[Pisces]

Why are we always 1 step behind? We need to be hammering home that Trump does not want to fund SNAP, that he wont meet with Democrats to open the govt., that he hasn’t lowered grocery prices!!! We need to be on the attack like Gavin Newsom pointed out last night!! Who is in charge???

[AZJonnie]

1. If there's any one day where calling out Democrats for a lack of brand new ads feels off-base

It would be this particular day.

I'm just saying

[Prairie Gates]

2. Seriously!

Unbelievable.

[11 Bravo]

11. This is why we can't have nice things.

[QueerDuck]

28. Thank you!

[leftstreet]

3. Today we are required to be more upbeat!

"I bet the Democrats are STOKED after these victories and currently working on tons of ads!"

[Pisces]

5. I am ecstatic about last nights wins!! I also watched the seriousness of Gavin Newsom and I think leadership

should be taking a page out of his book. We need to celebrate but we also need to capitalize on this moment. We can not afford to relax. Trump and his goons are working hard to keep us off balance. It’s time for us to get them off balance. It takes the sheep forever for new thoughts to seep in. We should have our own ads.
I’m with Gavin Newsom all the way. Take this guy seriously and continue to fight back. We can celebrate and attack at the same time!!!

[Scrivener7]

27. Yes. Immediately.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

31. It's easier to kick someone while they are down; not while they are on top of you beating your ass.

[ornotna]

4. I don't think it's helpful to go from jubilation for a wonderful night

Straight into panic mode.

YMMV.

[Pisces]

6. This is not panic mode. This is attack mode!!

[Pisces]

7. Here is Gavins speech. He knew about all the wins and this is the seriousness he approached last night with:

8. I can help with the ads,

How about, yesterday's election has given Democrats a mandate to govern.

Yesterday the American people rejected Trump's tax breaks for billionaires while holding back food and healthcare for the poor.

The American people have spoken in a loud way, Trump has failed to lower prices, lost farmers their markets because of his tariffs.

Trump fiddles while America burns.

The American people didn't vote for a White House ballroom where billionaires can come to buy influence.

Trump got drubbed yesterday.

[Pisces]

9. Yes!!! This should be run in all states!!! Buyers remorse for those that voted Trump for the first time!

I do think we need to capitalize on these wins and hammer home the points the public is suffering!!!

[obamanut2012]

10. As I said to someone earlier: can't we have one damned day to celebrate?

Folks here ALWAYS do this! We need to rejoice, gloat, caper, etc.

[Pisces]

12. We can do both things at the same time!!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Link? What Republican ads? How did you see them or know of them? You're not making this up, right? .nt

[Pisces]

14. Here's the link

16. Thanks. . . . nt

21. While their youngsters praise Hitler on Telegram....

When we called them NAZIs, we weren't so far off the mark---
In fact we were NOT off the mark AT ALL....


My newsapp has had a LOT of negative stories about Republicans in the past month,
which Democrats did not have to pay for....

There is a lot of free media out there which is working for US, for a change,
and a paid advertising blitz a year out from the midterm elections,
which you seem to be advocating, would be spitting into the void---

and in the Republican's case, if they are actually spending the money now which you claim,
they are spitting into the WIND !


For now, the free media stories about our great Democratic victories last night are just fine,
without stepping on our own good free media with paid advertising!

[MorbidButterflyTat]

32. Not gonna follow link to Politico

But if Republicans want to remake national Democratic candidates into Mamdani copycats, I say, LET THEM.

He kicked ass!!

[Raftergirl]

15. People hate political ads and have just been subjected to them for months on end. Everyone deserves a break.

[Blue_Roses]

20. This!

Sometimes it's good to take a breather. People are sick of these ads and right now need a break. At least give us today to catch our breath. We did GOOD last night.

[Jack Valentino]

22. and THIS---- they are completely tuned out to campaign ads,

if there were active national-level ad campaigns in their state!

[Pisces]

24. I don't thing we should be running campaign ads. We should be running ads reminding people how Trump

is making their lives worse. Every day there are 10 new outrages and people forget everything Trump has done. We should be hammering home how tariffs have raised prices, how Trump refuses to fund SNAP, how he is sending money to Argentina instead of funding things that help Americans.
Reminding farmers that they are in the predicament they are in because of Trump!

[Jack Valentino]

25. Surely.... but after the free media stories about the huge Democratic election victories

of yesterday, have run their course....

[Pisces]

26. I hear you! I guess Newsom got my attention yesterday!!

[Torchlight]

17. Sounds damned serious

[Pisces]

18. As I post thousands of Democrats are protesting Trump in Washington!!! Celebrating and attacking!!

This is what I’m talking about!! I thank those protesters!!!! This is what we need !!!

[Jack Valentino]

23. YES, I agree with that!!! And protests generate free media, and free social media,

which are completely different things from a paid-for media ad blitz....


Meanwhile, I HAVE been seeing negative TV ads against the GQP congressman in my MI-7 district
(which was Senator Slotkin's swing district) ever since they passed the big ugly bill in July....

(sorry, can never catch who is running them, but they keep running)

We WILL certainly get THAT 'swing' seat back in the mid-terms!

[murielm99]

19. Oh, Goody!

Not even twenty-four hours go by before we get to tear down Democrats on a Democratic website!

[Cha]

29. lol right? Appreciate the Pushback, though.

Our Nation had a Big Blue Sweep last night After a very long time of Hard work and Dedication to Saving our Democracy..

I do Not give a crap that they don't have "ads" out today..

[MorbidButterflyTat]

33. Always.

Probably contacting people who actually create "ads" would be more effective than hollering at us.

[QueerDuck]

35. I know, right? It's very disheartening. (Maybe that's the point.)

[mcar]

30. Why, after our great election,

are you pushing a Dems suck narrative?

[QueerDuck]

36. It really does drive-down support. Perhaps that's the goal?

[bottomofthehill]

34. The Democrats spent their money winning elections.

They should not have a dime left today. Unfortunately, the republicans have unlimited resources because of citizens united and we whine about too many fundraising requests. Where do you think the money for the ads come from.
