It looks like there are four videos today, but actually there are only three – read on to see why.

This is a clip from a film I have been thinking about lately. Apparently I’m not alone.  Jill Wine-Banks drew attention to the tweet (you may remember her from Watergate if you’re old enough.

That  clip is pretty good, and easy to share.  The full film is called “Don’t Be a Sucker,” and I did find the complete version.  It’s about 18 minutes, and I do realize not everyone has 18 minutes to spare.  But, IMO, it’s worth it.

Meidas Touch has a Republicans-who-are-voting-for-Biden ad, but it has high production values, and, white serious, avooids being too grim.  (Pat, will you identify with the “Texas mom?”)

This is  one of the ads by the Lincoln Project which are aimed directly at Wittle Donnie’s self esteem.  In particular, there’s a double entendre which is very smirkworthy – don’t blink.  But if you do blink, there’s plenty more shade.

  1. Great videos. 
    I remember the “Don’t Be a Sucker,” film, I think it was high school. 
    I don’t know if it’s being shown in classes anymore though. Should be, imho. 
    Thank you for posting, Joanne. 

  2. There are sooooo many suckers!

  3. Our side has come out with an endless stream of fantastic videos on Twitter & YouTube from many sources – makes me proud.

    But my question is, while I admit I’m probably more “cocooned” in my progressive echo chamber than I should be, I have not seen ANY Trump videos.  Seems like a couple would pop up, if only to mock them.

    Anyone seen any Trump vids?

  4. Let us hope that enough right-wingers hold their noses and vote for Biden. I doubt he’ll be an outstanding POTUS, but he sure as amplexus will be better than what we have now!

  5. It’s great to see so many good anti-Trump/pro-Biden videos, but what is their reach? Are they only resounding in our left-wing echo chamber, as Nameless suggests?

    • On line, that’s probably the case.  Twitter probably reaches some righties, but at least the larger groups are putting their ads on TV and sending them right to the people they want to reach.

  6. Is that first guy related to Trump*?

    Great Vids! 03

  7. Great videos. I did watch the full length version.
    Sad that we still have so many who think like that.
    I pray we can turn it all around by voting tRump and all of the other rotten R’s out of office this November.
    Thanks Joanne
