No one sees the same political ads. Everyone sees a customized version of whatever lie they want to tell you. Get that shit out of the shadows and out in the public where everyone can see who says what. They shouldn’t be whispering what they want in everyone’s ears.


This is the problem. When political messages are out in the open where everyone can see and challenge them it’s healthy.

When it’s whispers tailored to individuals playing on their hopes and fears…


Paid political are a problem no matter what, because one shouldn't need half a billion dollar in ad budget before starting a campaign otherwise you end up in an oligarchy real quick.
