This makes me wonder whether ads 'for' a candidate legally actually have to be, y'know, good.

Could you donate the max amount to dickwolf and then run Facebook ads declaring that Tan Parker 'probably doesn't rape dogs' and count them as a donation to him?

march 6th. this month and next month are going to be busy

also bob - the dallas morning news is asking me in a candidate questionnaire about my three largest contributors. as the third largest, do you have any preference for how i refer to you? i can do real name, your twitter handle (edit: if so give me your @ to shout out), or just 'Forums User Bob Dobbs is Dead'

Ad 1: Republicans? In my vagina? It's more likely than you think.
Ad 2: Just goatse. A big old picture of goatse. Maybe a arrow pointing to the dick "wolf" on it.
Ad 3: Do you have Democratic Socialists in your house?
Ad 4: A consumer warning against purchasing Doobie's hotdogs or Star Citizen.

my opponents platform is, "i was a republican who didn't do politics stuff until donald john tramp got elected and then i switched to hillary." she also doesn't seem to be super well versed in policy or politics in general. she's fairly agreeable with whatever other democrats are saying, supports LGBTQ+ in a generic but sincere way, hasn't said anything about abortion. so far not much has come up from her policy wise.

as far as why i'm better - i know more about policy and legislation than she does, i'm willing to do and say the wild leftist poo poo that she wouldn't try, and i wouldn't be walking into the job with four decades of conservative ideology hiding in the back of my brain
