I like how the narrator's voice sounds similar to Biden's. Yavin4 May 2020 #6

I encourage all DUers to watch and spread to your contacts via email and social media as far and wide as you can!

I'm sure that they'll have shorter versions available. It's great for people like us that will listen to the whole thing. There needs to be shorter, 30 second, versions. But this kind of info needs to be put out over and over.

that it was easy to watch.

Now if I were a (r)epuglicon/rwnj I'd turn it off in 5 seconds anyway once I realized it wasn't idolatrous of der furrier.

There's a reason that commercials are 30 seconds long in most times. A minute is considered a long one. 2 minutes is considered an "infomercial".

Thirty seconds is longer than you think. Every great ad tells a story. If it is structured right and flows right you can tell your story in 30 seconds very easily and make your point.

It should be chopped down a bit for consumption by ordinary folks/target audience. A bunch of these at 30 seconds, rather than a few at a minute or more.

Too long.

No one is going to have the patience to watch that. I barely did.

AOL is playing Trump ads, and they are coming out hard. We have to hit Trump with everything possible, not just the coronavirus. We have to make him look like a fool on every possible level.

Sometimes it seems like the coronavirus is the only thing we have to hit him with.

We hated him before January 1st, 2020. Surely we can reach back over the last 4 years and find more than this.

I found it mesmerizing and a smile came to my face as the point by point buildup of Trump's incompetence and focus only on the stock market hit home.

The ad is perfect, it sets a foundation that future ads can build on. It totally kills Trump's attempts to say Biden is soft on China, example after example in Trump's own words, it slays Trump's claim.

We're seeing some terrific ads for Biden. They need to flood the airwaves with them constantly.

and take action to keep our health workers safe, and invest in reearch to find treatments and a vaccine. People want to hear hope, not just a negative no matter how much Trump deserves it all.
