BBC says Republican ads are almost entirely about guns and how they could be taken away from you if you vote Democrat (absolute bullshit).

The ads I am seeing are all about inflation, crime and protecting children from trans, guns aren't really being talked about

And Democrats are focusing almost entirely on a woman's right to choose an early abortion

They are mainly focusing on Jan 6, magaism, and election denial, but some on abortion too

    Its interesting that it was about guns and abortion. I have noticed Daily Mail is pretty conservative, but they are definitely pro-choice and anti-gun, which as an American is strange, but it seems like you guys must all agree on this.

    Honestly its a pretty sad bunch of campaigns with no policies, just calling the other guy evil without suggesting much

      I think the reality of how this is going to play out is quite different. Running on how bad the other side is only works when your party isn't the one in control, especially when there are economic problems. I don't think this a winning strategy. It worked in 2020 when it was a referendum on Trump, this is a referendum on the Dems controlling the house, senate and presidency, they need to run on more than 'those other guys are worse than us'

        The BBC is right about the fact that US voters are voting with their emotions rather than their brains

        Yep, the BBC is right about this

        inflation is a non issue because it's a global issue and the US isn't doing that bad? what the fuck are you smoking? food prices are up like 1/3 in a year.

          the US doen't have as much of a problem with this as other countries

          Bro, half of us can't name other countries on a world map. It is a real tangible issue, and will probably fuck the Demonrats if it's not fixed by then.
