Tell me you don't understand election law without telling me.

The problem is, they are using these laws to push for anti trans and gay bills. By saying it's for the election.

Can you give an example? I try to not watch TV so I don't see these or any other ads. Generally speaking though, I'm not about suppressing speech even when I disagree with it. Is someone allowed to advocated for bills of that variety? Yeah. Do I like those bills? No. That's the cost of not living in a dictatorship though.

I at no point suggested suppression. I simply said if listeners stopped listening don't hide behind "we don't support the message just wanted the money"

Yes, but as we mentioned, they are required to give access to political messaging without having to cosign support for it. You can have broadcast companies choosing what party's messaging gets airtime and which doesn't. The reason is because that could be used to suppress speech, as I said.
