New Poll: Likely Voters Are Tired Of Anti-Trans Ads
A new poll run by Data For Progress found that voters are more likely to support candidates who support trans rights. People also believe political attack ads have gotten out of hand.

When voters are asked whether they are more inclined to support a candidate who backs transgender rights or one who opposes them, voters overwhelmingly choose the candidate in favor of transgender rights, by a margin of 21 points. This trend holds true among Independents, with a 19-point preference. Even 22% of Republicans indicate they are more likely to support a candidate who favors trans rights—a significantly higher percentage than the share of Democrats who would back a candidate opposing them.
Furthermore, voters showed frustration with the wave of anti-trans advertisements. When asked if they thought political attack ads against the transgender community have gotten mean spirited and out of hand, far more voters agree than disagree (+28 points). This finding holds true for independents (+23 points) as well, with even 31% of Republicans finding that there were too many political attack ads.
It's funny that the people who preach freedom and having their rights are the very people who want to take our rights. Actually it's not that funny.
We're all tired of all ads.
A friend proposed that a big button should appear immediately after you vote and pressing it would stop all political ads.
Its literally the only 45 ads i see during football, the only effect it has is making me want to vote for Kamala.
Yeah, I saw one yesterday for the first time during football because I typically avoid all the classic sources of commercials, and it was just two dude bros who looked like they were making a podcast sitting around saying "Yo, I don't want all my tax money being used to give prisoners sex change operations". And I thought, "who on earth would this possible convince to vote for Trump who wasn't already absolutely going to?"
