I liked that add because he called all the arguments against him dog shit. And here I'm discovering I just liked the add because he had a dog. Stupid commercials!

In Goddamn America News: How a dog help win the Dems the senate and stop white people from being afraid of a black man.
- Thread starter Slayven

I would bet that the dogs weren't being neglected and tortured like the black children were either. And if they had been they would have gotten help unlike the black children.
It's just, it's outrageous to me that a politician can be openly racist and there are enough voters who not only bypass but actively encourage it.
When Doug Ford came to power here in Ontario I figured that he ran a campaign of Fuck You, Got Mine and that appealed to enough people to get him into office. That's bad enough because it means there are that many people here willing to leave their fellow Canadians to hang in the name of a few extra bucks, but I can process the idea of people scrambling to collect every last shred of money they can at the expense of everyone else. The idea that someone can run on a campaign of literally nothing meaningful except hatred of other people, I don't know how to process that.
It makes more (?) sense once you realize Pets are basically suggorate children for a lot of people.
John Wick already showed that people care more about dogs than they care about people.
So if they wanted Warnock to win in a landslide he should have been in an ad riding around in a Boss 429 with a dog in his lap?
Fox News probably would have had wall-to-wall coverage for a whole week asking where he stole it from.
If anyone is interested in more reading, 538 also covered the ad prior to the Georgia election:

Raphael Warnock’s Dog Ads Cut Against White Voters’ Stereotypes Of Black People
If he wins next month, Raphael Warnock may have his pet beagle to thank. So far, Warnock, the Democratic candidate in one of Georgia’s two Senate runoff electio…

Don't forget that Loeffler's positive ads were just as awful as the attack ads. She had ads calling herself more conservative than Attila the Hun as a positive.
"You can't serve God and the military."
"Raphael Warnock attacks our military."
Me: There's a whole chapter where Jesus says a man cannot serve two masters.
This. Millennials in particular can't afford children and have started adopting pets instead.
This has been American philsophy since the 70's or so, when the right came up with "Welfare Queens" as an idea.
Jfc she couldn't even find some asian actors to play asian characters
Yes.
As a 30 yo black man, a solid part of my personality has been custom engineered to make me less threatening to white people.
I wish I was joking.
Oh god, I didn't know there was something even more cringe than the Crenshaw action hero ads last cycle
I feel like the Loeffler v Warnock ad campaign could be a whole SNL skit about how Loeffler keeps making her opponent look awesome on tv and on the debate stage.
(Side skit could be them going on break and Warnock visiting the Perdue v Ossoff debate...)
Probably too local to Georgia though, ah well.

"Well I'll be, looks like that dog trusts him. Maybe all of them aren't bad after all." - dat white subconscious
I mean I get it, I would be supremely sad if I ever had to make that decision, but the viciousness/quickness with how some people were able to rationalize it was astounding. I suppose if you truly view them as your children then it makes sense in a weird twisted way, but then there are other issues in play in my opinion.
I use the same measure for white people running for office too.
This is a winning message for them, historically, and is much more popular than most of their other policies in any event.
See this famous ad from the 1990 North Carolina Senate race:
That one got me. The ad ended on him saying "Palestinian lives matter"... that's it! I guess they were trying to get some sort of BLM + anti-Israel combo going, but I really don't think it was effective as they thought it would be
I was there, its real. People falling all over themselves to interfere with the course of nature.
It was not only real, there were more people (or at least they were more vocal) in the side of "you should save the turtle". I particularly remember the gotcha attempts like "but would you do that for your dog / cat? if you would then you're a hypocrite" (because apparently all animals are interchangeable).
The grasp some people have on food chains could not help but remind me of an old interview with David Attenborough where he mentioned an irate letter they got saying they should have used all that money spent filming lions hunting and eating herbivores to, instead (and I shit you not, I'm quoting this literally) "teach the lions to eat grass".
That Warnock ad was great.
I want to say it's encouraging that a braindead dipshit like Loeffler repeating "radical liberal" didn't compel enough Georgians to vote for her but realistically it was just because Trump didn't hype her up enough. Still, shows that organizing and expanding voting can have tangible results. Not that it wasn't known or obvious but to actually result in Ossoff and Warnock wins - not to mention it GA flipping blue for POTUS - is no small feat.

My general rule is my home is sanctuary. You manage to get in here and live with me, I respect you and try to keep you safe. People, dogs, cats, spiders, walking moustaches...
Nah man, you're awesome for doing that. We have and foster cats, and I'm definitely not letting anyone's opinion in an internet forum make me any less proud of my SO's work.
You guys seem like nicer housemates than my racist uncle was, welcome!
This a well known fact. There is a reason every single president except Trump had.a dog. Nixon' when attacked for corruption instead talked about how he got a dog as a gift, and how much his children loved that dog.

This is probably one of the main reasons why Trump didnt win re-election

It made Trump look like he didnt love animals. I love animals, I have a dog, why doesnt Trump have a dog. Makes him seem less human.

Donald Trump hates dogs. Here's what that tells us about him
Of all his changes at the White House, Donald’s lack of canine companions goes against the grain

iirc there were some bizarre news stories about Biden uniting America because he's getting a cat to go with his dogs.
Almost half the country voted for Trump. People on average are dumb as bricks.
Hooooly shit at that ad. I imagine if that ad ran today with the Republican party, the dialog now would be;
"The black man is coming for your job first... then your home... then for you! They'll even cuck you in front of your wife! Vote NO if unless YOU want to be the minority next!"
The sad part is even though I'm joking, it probably wouldn't be too far off.
