In Brooklyn all the political ads are over and done with because the real battle is over the Democratic primary. *holds liberal bubble tight and never lets go*

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Most of the ads I see (although I try very hard to ignore political ads, so my perceptions may be way off) are for or against propositions rather than candidates. California.

The only political ads I've seen in Cincinnati are for the Kentucky primary, because that race is such a HUGE deal, and the network channels broadcast in both Cincy and Northern Kentucky.
I wouldn't even know what was going on in our own races if my neighbors didn't have yard signs. (One sign is a life-sized standee of a candidate campaigning as a write-in candidate. You really have to have a lot of faith in people, that they won't vandalize your sign to say things like "Fuck the police!" and "I love it in the butt!") (Which is why I'm not allowed to get a standee.)

Because you don't have faith in people or because you would not be able to resist vandalizing your own standee?

Here in Arkansas a bunch of ads are about Bloomberg taking people's guns away and how Tom Cotton will save them. So I guess he's running for mayor of NYC or chairman of the board of Bloomberg L.P.?

We've got one with a dog whistle for anti-vaxxers. "Health decisions are not the government's business, from disease prevention to family planning,"
I'm still struggling to parse the last bit, because the dude is definitely anti-abortion. I'm sure there's a code in there but I can't quite figure it out.

I honestly cannot remember the last time I watched television. But I always rely on the League of Women Voters anyway.

Oh, that means the government shouldn't make it easier for poor women to get birth control (much less abortions) by making insurance companies cover it. Abortion isn't a health decision, it's letting those sluts get away with their slutting by killing baybeez.
'Cause not being able to have sex without a significant chance of forced birth = freedom!

Because I would vandalize my own standee. Probably with a Justin Bieber or One Direction t-shirt.

flea, have you seen the Tarbell standees? The first time I drove past one, it did actually scare the hell out of me. No one wants to be surprised by Jim Tarbell.
