That would actually be a refreshing change from the scare tactic ads that go for the quick emotional reaction but are total bs.

Political ads will be like this until we have more than 2 viable parties and it becomes necessary to elevate candidates above the pack to get votes. Ranked choice is the answer!

I’m all for ranked choice, but getting rid of the appeal to emotion is not one of the benefits. It’s just easier to tear down your opponent with some fearmongering than it is to make a cogent and articulate policy argument in a 30 second tv spot. And with even shorter ads on YouTube, it’s just getting worse.

Ranked choice would completely change the political landscape. Candidates would have to appeal to half of the electorate to get elected.

Also until our electorate can read at a greater than 7th grade level or pay attention to anything longer than a tweet or TikTok video

well there’s one party that’s been attacking and undermining public schools for a while now because a population that can’t inform itself will believe what it’s told.

Political ads will be like this until we get money out of politics. It will be just as bad with multiple candidates. (still totally pro ranked choice)

lets be real... she'll be running as a democrat and if she wins the primary she'll win because she's a democrat. The race here is against other democrats and for that she should probably focus on a platform that is not ad-hominin. That said I'd be in favor of ranked choice for local elections...
