flexghost.Dems are usually terrible at messaging
But this: this is a home run.
🇺🇸
Jon Het.@flexghost Just sharing the opening picture is a home run.
jordan@flexghost `finally_some_good_fucking_food.meme`
Rory@flexghost This is too good. Just use that bastard's....I mean Trump's own words against him.
Pres. Biden does it like no other, LOL. Great stuff.
@rlstone4dems Tbh I don’t think some people will understand the message. The yes at the end needs to be explained to some folk.
Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸@flexghost that is good
@chris Right?
JamesWNeal@flexghost OMG, I can download videos from Mastodon!
@JamesWNeal Wait for real?
@flexghost Safari Control - click dropdown menu gives the option.
Scott Williams 🐧@JamesWNeal @flexghost I have the option in Tusky as well
skry@flexghost @JamesWNeal With Mona (Mac app for desktop) I can drag videos onto my desktop or with the contextual (mouse) menu, I can Save As.

@atatassault @flexghost ummm, OK, "in their right mind" is the operative phrase, isn't it?
@infosec_jcp 🐈🃏 done differentlyYep. Long press on the video to bring up the d/l dialogue. Yep.
Chris Ferdinandi@flexghost how do you reconcile this with even more Americans dying from Covid under Biden then Trump.
I think the best Democrats have got with Biden is that at least he’s not a fascist.
Mister Moo 🐮@cferdinandi @flexghost 1/20/21, polarization causes Republicans to pivot from "Operation Warp Speed is a miracle" to "Operation Kill More People Through Vaccine Denialism will make Biden look bad." The point of the ad isn't the number of deaths, it's the horrific circumstances, the vast incompetence, open-air stupidity, shirking of responsibility and lack of empathy on daily display during the former administration, which is all useful given our short memories.
@MisterMoo @flexghost I absolutely agree that Trumps worse. There's no debate there. Biden gets my vote on that alone.
But I wouldn't call the democrats response to this pandemic "good" in any sense of the word.
The bar was SO LOW, and they went with... mostly the same policies. "Vaccines-only, masks suck, this is the new normal, learn the live with it, fuck the vulnerable."
It's a complete and utter moral and scientific failing of both parties.
Look everyone
Another adult baby who fails to let anyone pass an abused virtue test without sitting in the middle of something trending, crossing their feet and crying at the top of their lungs
Hey. You won!
🏆
@flexghost @MisterMoo how silly of me to want Democrats to fucking do things instead of letting vulnerable people die.
@flexghost @MisterMoo also you meme badly
@flexghost @MisterMoo It's pretty simple: I want Biden and his administration to actually try to stop covid rather than pretending its over and then making "Mission Accomplished" style videos about it.
We still lose a 9/11 every few weeks to covid, but Biden and the rest of the Democrat clowns don't ever wear or talk about masks, etc. They don't even do the bare minimum to protect themselves or others.
Dunce take
1. Learn how pandemics, epidemics work
2. Learn basic reasoning
3. Draw from entire sources instead of cherry picking with half truths to further a debunked point
4. Post
@flexghost and what exactly did Biden do to stop the spread? Tell me the science.
His admin pushed “no masks, just vaccines.” They stopped shipping free tests. They stopped tracking and sharing data. They reduced quarantine times after infection repeatedly against scientific data in favor of big business. They didn’t open up vaccine patents. They let big pharma price gouge paxlovid.
I know how pandemics work. Biden’s and the CDC don’t seem to, though.
Joe@cferdinandi @flexghost We don't have a presidential dictatorship, and there was massive resistance among Republicans to vaccines and masking. Most of the deaths after vaccines became available were in red counties and red states. Also, COVID existed in the US for less than one year of Trump's term and 3+ years of Biden's term. I won't defend Biden giving up on asking people to mask, but again, we don't have a presidential dictatorship and there is a limit to what you can make people do.
But really: you want to pretend that the guy who wanted us to inject bleach and take horse parasite meds was as good as Biden on COVID?
@not2b @flexghost Nope, not even a little bit. There's no world in which Trump is better or even equal to Biden.
Trump is a fascist nazi. Biden is an incompetent buffoon.
I wish our two-party system afforded us some better options, but here we are.
@cferdinandi @flexghost Biden is as wrong as he can be on Gaza. But he got a ton of stuff enacted with just a tie in the Senate (infrastructure particularly), got a lot of student loan debt forgiven despite being fought every step of the way in the courts. He was a lot more skilled than Obama was at legislating, and a lot more pro labor. His appointments have been better: Obama filled up his administration with a lot of Wall Street people, Biden finally got us an FTC chair who is serious about antitrust. He was about my 5th favorite Dem in 2020, more conservative than I would like, but he is highly competent and better than I thought he would be.
Jason Walter 🇵🇸@cferdinandi @flexghost Though he does fund a fascist regime in another country, enabling them to commit genocide - which makes him a fascist too.
@mrwalter @flexghost basically every US President ever, sadly.
winter@cferdinandi @flexghost I'm not some kind of Biden dickrider but MAYBE it has SOMETHING to do with the fact that Covid lasted one year of Trump's presidency and four years of Biden's.
Like, are you fucking serious? This is some extremely bad faith arguing.
@winterayars @flexghost Tell me what exactly Biden has done to stop the spread of covid since taking over? Beyond not promoting drinking bleach, in what was has his approach to covid policy been better?
@cferdinandi @flexghost Oh no that's moving the goalposts. I said nothing of the sort, fuck off.
@winterayars @flexghost really isn’t. But sure.
@flexghost So . . . are YOU better off than you were four years ago? A lot of people aren't because, well, they're DEAD.

I am... but that's because I moved to a whole other country to get away from all the nonsense, and the country I moved to was New Zealand.

sandywb14@flexghost More of this, please.
@flexghost God DAMN.
enoch_exe_inc@flexghost The Dems need more damning attack ads like this one. Propaganda doesn’t need to be true; it just needs to be able to get ordinary people to repeat its ideas to those who do believe it. And so it should be with political ads.
@enoch_exe_inc @flexghost Luckily, nobody has to stoop that low, because Trump has already recorded all of the footage needed.
Besides, there’s an advantage to being the party of saying what’s true. Bannon’s stated strategy to induce confusion and futility is “flooding the zone with shit”, so we can’t play into that and win.
Waterloosunset@flexghost we are all alot better and still alive
RiaResists
Normal Guy@flexghost And you know what? This ad doesn’t lie like Republicans and Trump either. All factual information.
@flexghost 300,000 deaths from covid, the market dumped, rampant incompetence in the WH and rampant corruption in the WH.
Sabella@flexghost they're not wrong, I just don't know who this is for. the mythical "Centrist" Who Just Doesn't Know About Biden, He's Old? people who are voting Trump know exactly what they're buying. or have thoroughly convinced themselves that Truth is just another liberal lie.
@gothodile I like your take.
@gothodile @flexghost If this kind of messaging influences some GOP folks to not vote, that’s a win.
Everyone who votes GOP doesn’t know as much as we do about dufus, because they are living in news deserts. The question is how can it reach them if it won’t play on the media they listen to and watch.
@skry @flexghost what if I told you they've put themselves in those news deserts and have no interest getting themselves out. the Dems shouldn't be wasting their money trying to convince any of these people to get out of Plato's cave. how about they excite their voting base for a change.
Dragon-sided D
Shoq@flexghost There are so many more like that coming. Team Biden has a lot to work with. And now they’re starting to come into some real cash to distribute them. Good Times.
chebraTrump is the best advertisement for anyone who isn't Trump.

Patsy@flexghost this ad needs to be blasted all over YouTube and streaming platforms. They have the money
@flexghost watching Americans cheer their 'lesser of two evils' party while it also continues to commit atrocities globally is really gross. Your nation is broken, your politicians are two sides of the same coin. Please ask for more from your nation. The rest of the world needs you to do better.
Texty the Bard@Skoggstroll @flexghost The structure of our government--small states getting more representation--is what's wrong. But we can't change that structure because the Republicans who benefit from it like that it gives them disproportionate power. And then we have false-equivalence asshats spewing garbage like this that suppresses votes and makes it all worse.
@textualdeviance @flexghost the democrats are currently backing a genocide. It's absolutely not false equivalence. You guys have literally been living under a dystopian fascist regime for a long time now and refuse to use your right to bear arms for the reason it was intended. Instead you all shoot each other. Meanwhile your two party hydra continues to export its imperialist terror globally. While you continue to fuss about which states give one of the hydra heads unfair power.
@Skoggstroll LOL. Now I know you're a troll. The only people here who like guns are the ones who also like the fascists AND they, like you, are also clueless enough to think hand weapons have any chance whatsoever against the military.
Democrats backed aid to Israel after it was struck by a brutal terrorist attack. Bibi has taken the retaliation way, way too far (predictable, sure.) But we can't magically stop him now.
@textualdeviance putting words in my mouth mate. Typical American apologist brain rot dribble.
