1. OK! Now that is a great ad!

Mr. Jake Johnson gets it!

[Nanuke]

2. Very honest and thoughtful ad. Glad he is from Minnesota. Hope he wins in 2026.

[Iris]

3. More of this, please!

[Amaryllis]

4. Wow. Just Wow.

[Grim Chieftain]

18. Yep, I had to grab the tissues

So powerful and so needed at this awful time.

As I posted here the other day, with Republicans it's about "me"; with Democrats it's about "we".

5. Wish I could vote for him!

[raccoon]

6. Wish I could vote for him.

[Mysterian]

7. It's a battle of good versus evil

Jake gets it. I hope more brainwashed republican cultists realize they are on the side of evil and repent.

8. He says that in small towns people take care of each other

Imagine if all Americans behaved like their country was a small town.

Great ad indeed!

[Skittles]

32. I wouldn't go that far

try being transgender in a small town, for example

btw, I live in a metroplex and I help my neighbors who are on SNAP

it's not a "small town" thing, it's a Democratic thing, it's just being DECENT

9. Teacher for Congress, shades of the magnificent Tim Walz.

Go man, Go!!!!!

10. Dems need a 50 state strategy. They need to go hard for every congressional seat everywhere. Republicans are responsible

for shirking their constitutional duty, unleashing this hell (Big Beautiful Bill, ICE) on the country and people (more than you think) know it. They could win seats in some unexpected places, 'cause as bad as things are now, they're going to be much worse in a year, and most people of either party will know who to blame.

25. I agree 100%

My state, Tennessee, has the worst voter turnout in the country, and it seems to me that the Dems have just quit trying here.

I had SNAP when we used paper
certificates with the dollar amount on them. Sure helped out my family.

[democrank]

29. This ad is bulging with truth and heart.

Shame on the Republicans that are enjoying weeks of paid vacation while children go hungry.
