Democrats have been on defense on the economy this year, and the latest report showing inflation still at a 40-year high hasn’t helped. But a new $4.5 million ad campaign seeks to test whether Democrats can craft economic messages that put Republicans on defense.
The six-week ad campaign launched Monday by a group called Unrig Our Economy, which launched earlier this year, targets GOP Reps. Nicole Malliotakis of New York, David Valadao of California, Don Bacon of Nebraska and Ashley Hinson of Iowa. The ads argue that the lawmakers have done more to support corporations than working-class people.
“The point of this campaign is over several years, at least three years, to prove that we need to be going on offense on the economy. We need to be showing the difference between Republicans and Democrats on the economy, namely that I think the Republican Party is siding with corporations and the wealthy instead of working people,” Sarah Baron, the campaign director, said in an interview.
The effort aims to prove “that if Democrats lead with a progressive, populist economic message, we can actually build back credibility for our side on the economy, specifically,” Baron added.
The ads try to tie the Republican lawmakers to corporations and criticize them for not voting to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices...

Dems created this mess. Who in their right mind would listen to these traitors?
They’re beyond desperate. Can’t blame TRUMP on this economy.
No one in thier right mind, but we are talking Democrats here.
Can’t find food or baby formula? Can’t afford to put gas in your car?
That’s because the economy is doing GREAT! /sarc
“The ads argue that the lawmakers have done more to support corporations than working-class people.”
And which party do the corporations support now? And which the “working class”?
They need a newer edition of “Proletarian Struggle for Dummies” - the 1937 edition is a trifle out-of-date.
A. No
Think of the most brilliant political messaging on behalf of the Democrats. The next morning the registered voter stops at the gas station on the way to work and...is slapped in the face once again, and pulls out of the dream state. Save your money.
Democrat talking point: Republicans are supporting corporations over people.
Democrat translator device: Those same corporations should be supporting us over the people.
Good idea, democraps. Go after bacon. That will make you popular. LOL!
Same playback as always. Just go down the list when one doesn’t work. If you get to the end of the list, start over:
Blame Trump
Blame guns
Protect abortion
Blame greedy corporations for the environment
Protect gays
Scare hispanics
Blame greedy corporations for making money
Scare the elderly
Scare the black population
And so on, and so on...
This will backfire. Where do these idiots think jobs for 'working-class people' come from but 'corporations'?...........
Rules for Radicals Cliff Notes for a $multi million ad campaigns? Pretty stale leftists crap.
Democrats spend lots of money on focus groups and internet research. They’re specialty it pulling the wool over people’s eyes - selling snake-oil to the masses using word tricks.
YOU have doubts? Look how they’ve played the black community for fools the past 50 years.
NOT.
GONNA.
WORK!
It IS the economy, stupid!

Nice list - YOU ‘get it’...
So in other words, knowingly spout blatant misinformation so that a few percentage of stupid people will vote for the stupid people that got us here. Why, this is a threat to democracy! Shut them down! Where is the ministry of truth when you need them?
If Republicans ran ads like this the media would either refuse to run them or their “fact checkers” would label everything as lies and therefore the ads would be considered as “debunked”.
The ads themselves wouldn’t be the real story then, instead it would be the fact that Republicans were lying and making “unfounded” claims, and how dare they! The media would come to the rescue before any innocent Democrats could be damaged.
Since our elite tribe of puppetmasters and media controllers work one way only, these particular Democrat propaganda attempts will never be challenged, rather they will be praised and endorsed as being highly effective and any Republican candidates who complain will be put on the defensive.
Shortly, another wing of the controlled media will publish some polls (fabricated or otherwise) showing HOW effective and devastating the Democrat ads are, and more will follow.
Meanwhile, with so many great issues to hit Democrats with, the RNC will respond with the same cowardice and bumbling incompetence we’ve grown accustomed to.
