re: Politics are local/regional, what type of ads are you seeing in your local media market?

Here in Fresno we’re seeing the following from dems: abortion rights (over and over and over again), water security, so and so is a Trump peon and this candidate is an a-hole that defrauded growers. The last one bugs me because I know that particular family and they’re a big grower of commercial figs (my namesake because I love figs from when I worked with the growers).

The republicans are running ads attacking the crap economy, inflation in every sector, higher crime. Par for the course for our side.

From reading some of the other posts the dems hopes are entirely pinned to abortion. They have nothing else to drive their voters to the booth on. I don’t think that’s a winner this cycle with the independents either. There is too much going on that is a disaster for that to matter in the overall scheme. If the country were in better shape and the world wasn’t at war I could see abortion playing a bigger role but not this year.
