but is there a more direct way to get this information to the Harris Campaign? I assume they are aware of the barrage of negative ads being spewed about -- but then again, maybe not.

video calls with her campaign. In a thread here I posed this directly to one of those people but didn't get a response.

If they aren’t already aware, then we are screwed, and your post isn’t going to help.

But her ads need to combat the dark money ads. Maybe the plan is to carpet bomb in the home stretch? At least I can say I spoke up, I tried.

That’s where a lot of money will be spent in the final stretch- knocking on doors and getting folks to the polls.

If you -- presumably a loyal Democratic voter that will absolutely vote for Democrats up and down the ballot this election -- are seeing a bunch of pro-Kamala ads from the Harris/Walz campaign, that is money poorly spent.

Campaign ads aren't meant to target people presumably like yourself -- they are meant to target those that are less likely to vote or whose vote may still be winnable.

If your vote has already been won, why would you want the campaign to spend money on ads for you? Wouldn't you want them to spend the money on ads targeting those whose vote they don't already have?

competent campaign that Harris/Walz is running, so I think (hope) it's one of the following: they're saving their blitz for the last couple weeks; they're seeing that it isn't having an effect on the electorate, or maybe even turning them off to the other side; or their counter advertising is in other areas (digital, social media, etc.).

I appreciate you doing everything you can regardless! It's admirable and we ALL should be doing the same! I think she's got this! 😊
