All they will accomplish is to drive me to the DVD bin as I can’t stand to sit through any more of their lies.

Can’t comprehend why millionaires and billionaires would want Biden anyway.
Doesn’t he claim he’ll soak the rich, tax the heck out of anyone over 400K?
Are these rich guys stupid, or is Biden’s plan total BS?
Don’t tell me, I think I know...

I am constantly seeing Amy McGrath commercials on Youtube. I live in KY. No amount of those ads are going to convince me to vote for her. She’s getting desperate, though. Mentioning her religion, and that her husband is a Republican, etc.

Boomers need to just drop Internet and TV shit. Step back 40 years. Unplug from big data-monitored crap.

Call and talk with friends. Visit and go places together with friends. Play cards, go bowling and have dinners with friends. Read, do hobbies, learn a musical instrument or another language. Fish, hike, camp, hunt, golf, shoot.

Do anything other than a video screen.

I haven't seen an "ad" of ANY kind in nearly 4 years. That's when I scrapped cable entirely. I watch Tucker, and sometimes Sean Vanity -- but on ad-free clips on Twitter and elsewhere. Doesn't everyone do this? My teenage kids NEVER watch "TV". They binge NetFlix, or watch Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok.

Do ANY Americans outside of geezers (I am 53) watch ads?

That’s a great point. They’d probably be better off spending on senate races. If they took the senate trumps agenda would die on the vine. Luckily these tech billionaires aren’t really that smart.

Let them spend money. The value is not there but it makes them feel like they are doing something with the true collusion. The undecided is very few. Maybe they will shed fidiot one issue morons.

Silicon Valley mega donors are ALL bribed and/or blackmailed by their Communist China overlords. The sweet deals they have gotten by shipping technology manufacturing to slave labor (or near slave labor) factories in China make them puppets on strings. They are terrified their cushy lives will come crumbling down when Trump bring manufacturing back here. They are terrified that the compromising photos of them will be unleashed if they don’t drag Biden across the finish line.

They all disgust me! Traitors for $$$ while they pretend to support “progressivism” AKA a mafia/gang setup where a small group of elites get rich at the expense of bleeding the common folk dry and turning them into slaves.

I think these are the guys that paid for an ad I saw on F&F this morning during President Trump’s call-in. A bunch of physicians lying about how Trump failed with COVID19 response.

Agree.. the volume of ads is irrelevant and unlikely to work

Depends on whether your friends, relatives, or business subsidiaries own any of the advertising companies. :)

I don’t recall the exact amount but I think it was in the neighbourhood of 800 million. Not a shoestring in my book but to each his own. It was less than H of course who went over the billion mark.
