Entirely fascinating

At one end of the scale were voters who were considered to be sympathetic to the Trump campaign; at the other were those who were regarded as hostile.
However, a key audience was categorised as "Deterrence", voters whom the Trump campaign wanted to dissuade from participating in the election.
According to Channel 4, 3.5 million African Americans were classified in this group.
They were targeted for negative adverts designed to weaken support for Hillary Clinton, including a video in which the former First Lady and Secretary of State referred to black youths as super predators.

So, the way to dissuade people from voting is to tell them truths about your opponent? Or, actually, with Hillary remind them who your opponent is? With a piccie?

Dastardly, eh?

As always with the left, they will use every tactic that the right uses but condemn the right as evil monsters for doing whatever it is while using the “it’s different because reasons” defence for their own actions.

Hypocritical sanctimonious twats.

The video is one of the most hyperbolic things I’ve seen from C4 News, with people talking about “disenfranchisement”.

I hope Trump wins, just for how much it’s going to piss those people off.

Do catch up Timmy:

When one of The Anointed says something indefensible and means it, it is only ever a quote taken out of context, when The Anointed had an off day. It can be forgotten, move along, nothing to see here.

When The Opposition says something that can be made to look bad by being taken out of context, then they mean it wholeheartedly and it proves what evil people they are.

This is a universal truth. I.e., it’s true whatever side you are on.

Off topic, from the BBC website

“More than one in three young people say they have lost hope of getting their dream job because of coronavirus, the Prince’s Trust has said.

The charity said a survey of 2,000 people aged 16 to 25 across the UK showed 44% had lower aspirations for the future as a result of the pandemic.”

Good. Young people now have more realistic expectations.

And will be used as a stick to beat them with in perpetuity.

Democrats must be getting desperate. There are about 40,000,000 white, working class people in the US who aren’t registered to vote. Trump should be working all-out to register and mobilise them rather than promising to give blacks $500,000,000,000 of white people’s money; he’d win by a landslide.
