Subject: Re: Priorities
Maybe I need to watch more TV and get more ads, but I don't really get that messaging coming through.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

But that is the message I'm getting. We stream at home (no cable). Some services we use employ "freevee", which means you sit through a few minutes of ads, and then you watch your feature (usually uninterrupted). Those are the only TV ads I see, and the pro-Harris ads are about middle-class tax cuts and an economy that works for the common man. Pretty loud and clear. Plus some (perhaps not enough?) emphasis on strict but fair border security. For me, as an atypical voter, I would also like her to comment on some foreign policy. But most voters aren't going to rank that in the top 5 issues, so I get why they aren't hitting that particular issue.

Are the ads calling out a specific policy? Sort of. A "middle-class tax cut that will save the average household $6000" is moderately specific. I assume she has a position paper on her website if I bothered to look it up (which I don't simply because there is no point...there is no choice next week). I'm sure she has papers on foreign policy, too, even if she doesn't talk much about it. Again, no need for me to look since the alternative is so incredibly dangerous to our democracy and a functioning government, that I have no choice. I had to spend more time on judicial choices (we have "retain: yes or no" for judges) than on the POTUS election because once the convict won the primaries, almost any alternative would have been better. So I can pretty much ignore that one, and the senator race (Lake is insane...only slightly hyperbolic).

I would think she's running similar ads in FL as AZ. "Middle-class tax cut" translates into every state, so no need to change that message.

And I don't think that is a "partisan lens". If, for example, it was Menendez vs Kitzinger, I'd have to go for Kitzinger simply because Menendez is profoundly corrupt, and not even smart enough to hide it. Kitzinger, if he's corrupt -and I have no reason to believe he is-, is smart enough not to flaunt it.
