Notice how the Lincoln Project campaigns against Bunker Boy

Despite my serious doubts about the motives of the Lincoln Project backers, I'm glad they are running these hard-htiing spots. But I also think it's time for the Democratic Party to be seriously embarrassed that they are letting Republicans do the aggressive campaigning for them. One of numerous things out of joint in 2020.

This qualifies as an actual "antifa" spot, because it is calling out the "fa": How It Starts 07/20/2020:


Something else strikes me about the Lincoln Project pitches. They may be a gaggle of neocons who really hate Trump because they think he's not competent enough at starting wars. (I'll be happy for them to prove me wrong after the election.)

But I don't remember any of their ads making a pitch to those legendary creatures known as "moderate Republicans" reassuring them that, hey, it's okay to vote for Status Quo Joe because he really loves plutocracy and is completely committed to the notion that the wealthiest people should never ever have to pay taxes to support their country. These are turnout ads to motivate voters who already dislike or hate Trump to vote in November. This one even suggests that It's critical for the sans-coulottes to be protesting in the streets. These are definitely not ads aimed at converting some slice of the 35-40% who are devoted to Bunker Boy.
