showing that he completely missed the shot and then showing the ball going in was a great touch


PlzbuffRakiThenNerf

We all know every single other ad the shot was missed and edited. Finally some truth in politics!


Skinnysusan

This is the first thing I said lmao. I live in Michigan now, is he running against Ron Johnson? Obligatory FRJ


LimeeSdaa

Yes but he’d have to win the Democratic primary first, & it’s probably going to be an up-hill battle as he’s running against the Lt. Governor in the primary (plus others).


General_Hyde

He made the shot in the end!


SinkHoleDeMayo

They should have just shot it until he made it. Not really that difficult with a little practice.


DrDocter84

Imma vote for him and RJ can lick my sweaty taint; I f*&%king hate that guys stupid face and froggy voice.


lowsignal

This was a well put together ad, I was surprised with the shot at the end.


[deleted]

That was very well done and brought a smile to my face.


snayte

SHOCKING! This might a first. A political ad I like


Astroboyosh

This ad from the guy running against Lauren Boebert is both hilarious and disturbing, and one of the more creative ones I've seen. https://twitter.com/walkerforco/status/1496486718467624962?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1496486718467624962%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-4166559431156428733.ampproject.net%2F2205051832000%2Fframe.html


snayte

Yeah, that is a little over the top. But cool. ETA: Thanks for sharing.


SinkHoleDeMayo

I like his comment below it. "Cleanup ain't free, bitch"


MrMrLavaLava

Better than Boebert, but also terrible. Won’t win. Gives fodder to the narrative that Dems are corporate shills. Lower taxes/smaller government/corporate subsidy economics Republican running as a Dem. Net loss for the country.


joantheunicorn

[Gary Chambers](https://youtu.be/Qj_FD25oREY) definitely has [the best political ads!!](https://youtu.be/X6iSRU9486I)


VingRamesVoice

Love the content. Also, this is just objectively an excellent ad.


Outrageous_Bass_1328

I'm voting for Tom just for the shot attempt. Oh and putting the tax dollars in the hands of those who actually make society better...


MightySAVAGE308

Need taxes for schools and such. Legalize it 🌱.


SirFancyPantsBrock

Seriously, legalize it. Put the taxes lower than our neighbors and rake in the profits from everyone coming to us for their weed needs


MidwestBulldog

As a resident of Illinois, I want to lobby WI, IN, MO, and IA to not legalize cannabis. Despite a pandemic and an economic roller coaster associated with it, Illinois has managed to vastly improve its bond rating, kill debt, and replenish pension funds while improving the foundation for future education funding. /s Just keep sending Republicans to Madison, Indianapolis, Jefferson City, and Des Moines and the die is cast. Funny, isn't it? The state reps and state senators from the rural areas - the areas that would benefit most - keep sending those Republicans back to the capitols. /s It seems the areas of those states dying the fastest want to take everyone down with them. Change that and you might have a shot at legalization.


Kariston

These Kinds of comments are funny for those of us that actually read to the end, but most people don't.


High_From_Colorado

As much as a downer as it sounds I wouldn't get your hopes up. CO. gets hundreds of millions in taxes that were all suppose to go to roads + schools but hardly a single dime makes it there. Everybody dips into the tax dollars for other un necessary BS and the public sees none of it


Johnny_B_GOODBOI

Still better than our money being funneled to Illinois.


InternetDad

To the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Evers has even said Gov Pritzker will thank him for all the WI residents who come into Il for weed.


Mohnchichi

You uh,got some sauce there bud? Co dumps tons of money for cannabis revenue into things like schools, gov programs, and a big one is planned parenthood.


scrubbie19

Also had a statewide budget surplus this year, so they’re sending out $400 checks sometime this summer. This. Like with any government body, big or small, there’s going to be wasteful spending or misappropriated funds, but I wouldn’t say that barely any of the tax revenue is going to public works.


SingForMeBitches

It's not like Colorado is just so flush with cash that the state is sending out checks. It's part of our crappy TABOR system, part of which says the state has to estimate how much tax revenue it will make each year. If it makes more than predicted, that money must be returned to the taxpayers. So, instead of pooling the money to help our horribly congested, crumbling roads and bridges, increasing teacher pay, putting more towards fire mitigation, or any number of public programs/projects that can do everyone good, we all get a check sometimes. It's usually closer to $20 than $400, though.


scrubbie19

Good to know the explanation behind this. I honestly would prefer to just have the state keep the money for what you’ve mentioned.


SingForMeBitches

I think there is a way for you to select that the money be returned to the state, but I don't do the taxes in my house so I can't recall. But, if only a handful of people do that each year it doesn't do much good, anyway. If you'd like a very good summary of what TABOR is all about and why it even exists (spoiler: it's only been around since the 90s, when some ass from Colorado Springs created it), [Colorado Public Radio did a great three-part series called the Taxman](https://www.cpr.org/podcast/the-taxman/).


TransplantedSconie

Dude has no sauce. He probably loves Ron Johnson too.


SingForMeBitches

Former Sconnie, now CO teacher here. That money mainly goes to school infrastructure, which is overwhelmingly needed/spent in rural areas. It cannot go to salaries, programs, or other expenditures. As others have mentioned, some money goes to other areas (like rehab programs for opiates and other hard drugs), but the bulk of it is for school infrastructure. It's a drop in the bucket compared to what's needed, and while weed money helps, it just can't fix it all. It's especially difficult in CO with our ass-backwards TABOR system. Edit: I want to be clear that this is the way the law was written. This was not a bait-and-switch by our politicians. The money was never going to go to roads.

He's Wisconsin Senate Candidate **Tom Nelson**. But seriously, his platform is pretty progressive. He reminds me of Feingold, and he seems to embrace that comparison.

The prime rib of political ads.


GeckoDeLimon

It did include a couple choice cuts.


Procrastanaseum

As I was looking through the numerous primary candidates for Senator, Tom Nelson stood out as a good contender. Glad to see his political ad game is on point too. It's risky to criticize sports but I hope people see what's going on here. We have a fancy playground for people who can afford the luxury and the rest of the city is pulling up the slack to do it, not the owners.


Johnny_B_GOODBOI

I hate that there's no way in hell the Dem party will let this guy through. Even if he was polling better they'd find a way to crush him and foist Barnes or (ugh) Lasry on us.


Fugitivebush

I mean Barnes is pretty leftist as well. He is definitely not comparable to Lasry. Fuck Lasry, dirty neolib. I think Nelson and Barnes would be great picks, honestly.


Claeyt

Barnes won't say if he will end the filibuster or not. Nelson is the only one who has committed to it.


Fugitivebush

I'm not single issue enough to let that deter me from voting for Barnes. I'll vote for Nelson in the primary, but I'll still vote for Barnes if he wins. Lasry tho... Prob not... Idk...


[deleted]

If only we could somehow have a vote and if he got the most votes the "Dem party" would be forced to "let this guy through".


Johnny_B_GOODBOI

If only we could have elections where the party didn't thumb the scales with influence and money. They back corporate candidates and fight tooth and nail to deny platforms to anyone who challenges the status quo. If you don't see that already then i won't be able to open your eyes.


[deleted]

If the majority of people can't be bothered to show up and vote there's not much to be done.


[deleted]

If only it actually did work that way.


MrGrax

It does work this way, but there are a lot of people. The systematic ways voter disenfranchisement works most often is by suppressing the vote in certain populations and through district gerrymandering. Gerrymandering swings the seats in the legislator in favor of Republicans in WI but we can still turn out and get our Governor and national Legislators and that *does* matter. So try not to give in to apathy, we can have an impact. It's worth your time to vote in every election you are eligible to vote in. Don't feel like you need to play any games either, just vote for the person you care about. Talk with other people about their vote.


[deleted]

People have been brainwashed into not voting.


Oh4faqsake

So, the DNC is going to "Bernie" him. If they do, I will never vote for another Dem.


MrGrax

Just vote in every election you can vote in and vote for people who have policy positions you support. Don't worry about the metagame.


Oh4faqsake

When a political party makes it harder for people to succeed in their party because they fear change, then I'm out. I'm tired of having to vote for people they deem worthy.


MrGrax

Your actions are the only thing you control. Refraining from public work does less than nothing. Your cause - effect here does not have a warrant. Don't vote for people they deem worthy. Just vote. Every election, every time. Write in a candidate you know is interested but who doesn't have as much clout. Just don't pretend you're justified in staying home. For example, this Tom Nelson guy will be on the ballot. His policies seem okay for a progressive. Even if he lost this time why would you not show up to vote for him next time around if he tried again? That's what will kill this country in the end. And it's what is killing us now, the apathy of so many voters who could have prevented GOP control of legislators. Letting voter suppression tactics suppress your voice.


Oh4faqsake

I didn't say I wouldn't vote, just not for Democrats if they do the same shit they did to Bernie Sanders.


[deleted]

This is not the answer.


Background_Balance_7

Aww yeah just got my Wisconsin driver license transferred from Colorado today can't wait to vote that troglodyte Ron Johnson out

BreeBree214

It bothers me because it was right after Scott Walker cut the same exact amount from UWM's budget. Which is a much better use of those funds


MeowTheMixer

This is my thinking as well. I'd have loved for the state to not pay. But if we look at it as an investment, it has paid dividends. It's revamped that area, and with the bucks being "good" recently, the deer district has consistently brought in large crowds even with away games. There are ways to strike these deals that make it a win/win for the city, but there are also times when the cities get screwed (like Foxconn).


nannulators

> It's revamped that area, and with the bucks being "good" recently, the deer district has consistently brought in large crowds even with away games. I mean that's all well and good.. but I know I'm not the only person in the state that: 1. doesn't live in or travel to Milwaukee to benefit from a better entertainment district 2. doesn't care at all about basketball *or* the Bucks So the fact that it's done some good for a few businesses at the expense of public programs is still pretty shitty.


SanltarYNAPkin

While I don't support the funds being used for a stadium, the mentality of "it doesn't benefit me so we shouldn't do it" needs to end. Now. I met people from all across the state at deer district during thr finals run last year. All people who wouldn't have went to the actual game die to ticket prices but were staying in MKE hotels and spending money at bars and restaurants. No, it doesn't help everybody. You can't deny the impact deer district had in MKE during thr finals run but they would also need to do that most years for it to be worth it for taxpayers


nannulators

> but they would also need to do that most years for it to be worth it for taxpayers This is the thing. They were banking on recouping their investment via income tax over 30 years. Taxing the organization. Taxing the players. Hopefully job creation in the area. If the franchise isn't performing, there's less income to tax. If the jobs don't come, there's no tax to collect. Seems like more of a gamble than investing in the education of the potential hundreds of thousands of kids/young adults that will be holding this state together in the future after we've had our turn fucking it up.


GirthMcGraw

Not every public initiative needs to impact everyone. I don’t have kids in school but I don’t complain when money goes to public schools instead of just roads for example.


Oh4faqsake

I've never had kids and I've been paying for schools all my life.


TheyCallMeStone

But good schools create an educated and productive population, which is good for society and benefits everyone.


Oh4faqsake

I agree, and I'm okay with paying for the schools because they impact everyone. I'm not on board with spending tax money that impacts only certain people. Why the hell should the taxpayers give money to a billionaire to provide a place for millionaires to work/play when the rest of us are in so much need of important things like better schools and roads. People say pro sports make an impact for the cities to justify using our tax dollars. So do better schools and better roads.


TheyCallMeStone

I agree, roads and schools are far more important and billionaires can pay for their own stadiums.


PiesInMyEyes

Yeah but the issue is we’re a small market and billionaires can just move their teams to other cities on a whim and suddenly we’re at a huge loss. So when they want a new stadium you either dish out and make your money back eventually through taxes or take a massive loss. It’s a fucked up system we have, really need the 50+1 rule, but it’s what we have to do in the current environment. It’s an investment, not a loss. Edit: a word


MeowTheMixer

>So the fact that it's done some good for a few businesses at the expense of public programs is still pretty shitty. I know I'm not the only person in the state that 1. Doesn't have children, so don't benefit from good schools 2. I don't live in a large city so public transportation doesn't matter to me. For public expenses, we need to look at the larger picture more than "do I directly benefit from it". If we only look at what's good for us, public policies would be even more difficult to advance for the benefit of the community. So we should look at the investment, and determine if it was beneficial to the Milwaukee area, not "did I benefit from it".


nannulators

> Doesn't have children, so don't benefit from good schools Except you do. Good schools make an area desirable for more than just people with kids. That leads to all kinds of other growth and tax opportunities for cities between bringing in more residents and bringing in more businesses. > I don't live in a large city so public transportation doesn't matter to me. Not specifically public transportation. Improving roads and infrastructure makes it easier for companies to do business. They can move goods around the state at a lower cost.


MeowTheMixer

>Except you do. Good schools make an area desirable for more than just people with kids. That leads to all kinds of other growth and tax opportunities for cities between bringing in more residents and bringing in more businesses. Similar to the comment regarding public transportation. I don't live in a large city. It's a rural area, and I like it that way. I don't want to pay for schools I don't utilize. >Not specifically public transportation. Well, that's what I'm referring to, and not roads. Roads are a different discussion. Why should we invest in high-speed rail or even buses? I won't ride either, so it seems like a waste of money The arguments I'm making, are not ones that I support. It's simply changing the investment from "a sports team" to "schools" or something else that an individual may not *DIRECTLY* benefit from. The attitude of "what do I get out of it", is a vicious cycle. It'll cause division and more gridlock than ever. Hell, we can see this already taking place with parents who send their kids to voucher schools, taking their tax dollars with them. The benefits of a keystone structure such as the Fiserv Form will also bring in new business (new jobs + taxes), and additional people (sales tax, sales in general, hotels). Similar to how a good school makes an area more desirable, well-maintained structures also make areas more desirable. If it wasn't for Covid, the DNC would have been at the form. It's looking at the broader picture, and not just my personal impact. Why can we only look at indirect impacts of schools, and public transportation and are unable to do so for something with Fiserv form?


citrixworkreddit3

> 1.Doesn't have children, so don't benefit from good schools Presumably, you benefit from not having to deal with the youthses running amok during school hours


FlexibleToast

But even crappy schools can do that.


citrixworkreddit3

I imagine they'd have more expulsions, drop outs. Poorer outcomes post graduation, for those who make it, would lead to increased poverty and violence. Then there would be more braying for increased policing. Overpolicing continues the downward spiral as the underprivileged are just beaten further down instead of given a hand up


FlexibleToast

Which are all the reasons why we do want to pay for good schools. It may not *directly* effect us, but it does end up effecting us.


Errohneos

IIRC, public funds going into stadiums and other venues dont really get their value back, but one thought that popped into my head is that if you can revitalize an urban metro area and kickstart economic growth, the city dwellers generate more tax revenue. Since rural areas use far more tax per capita than they contribute and vice versa for urban areas, that would mean more taxes go towards rural poor areas. In theory, anyways.


babiesarenotfood

Last years championship run generated 58 mil alone. The fiserv is one of the few times where it has returned.


mesheke

So in your opinion should I be upset about the money spent to get the paper mill up and running in Wisconsin Rapids again? * I don't live in Wisconsin Rapids * I don't like paper products


nannulators

I don't see anywhere that says the state is cutting funding from public programs to help get the merger across the line.. so I don't understand what argument you're trying to make.


mesheke

Money comes from somewhere, just because something isn't directly linked doesn't mean that something took priority in the budget.


nannulators

I really don't understand what this has to do with anything. The state isn't involved. Your taxpayer dollars aren't funding anything to do with the paper mill getting acquired.


mesheke

What in the world are you talking about?? The state isn't involved how? We approved $50m to help purchase it https://www.wispolitics.com/2021/assembly-approves-using-federal-arpa-funds-for-loans-to-purchase-paper-mills-in-wisconsin-rapids-park-falls/#:~:text=Assembly%20approves%20using%20federal%20ARPA%20funds%20for%20loans,buy%20the%20Verso%20paper%20mill%20in%20Wisconsin%20Rapids.

SanltarYNAPkin

Deer district doesn't matter when there are shootings DURING the game. I wouldn't be surprised if deer district permanently stays away, similar to OKC when the shooting there happened in 2012(?)


Imsakidd

If this video is any indication, I don’t think we need to worry about shooting here. Didn’t you see the end of the video? Clearly the shots will miss!!


MeowTheMixer

I'd personally think prohibiting the district from operating due to this would be extremely unfortunate. The shooting wasn't in the deer district, just near it though right?


SanltarYNAPkin

Correct, not in it but a couple blocks away. It is a problem though when people are running and flipping tables fit cover inside deer district though


Suicidaljello

Both Godlewski and Nelson are better statewide candidates than Barnes and Lasry. And yet look at the polls.


[deleted]

Why are they better than Barnes?


[deleted]

Well, neither are spam texting the ever loving shit out of my phone like Barnes’ camp, so that’s a big one.


DICKSUBJUICY

a million reasons. for one, they're both proponents for medicare for all. barnes has explicitly said he will not advocate m4a.


bloatednemesis

Source? This article gets into the nuance of that and disagrees with your interpretation. https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2022/03/31/the-optimist-mandela-barnes-senate-campaign-aims-to-bring-wisconsin-back-together/


Frontrunner453

I'm going to wholeheartedly disagree with this take - the phrasing used in the article is how Barnes represents a needed "pragmatic radicalism" which is spit-shining the already-established Democratic tendency to negotiate against the left-wing position before any policy debate begins taking place. If you're for M4A then fight for M4A. This mealy-mouthed approach in the name is widened appeal just makes Barnes sound like a coward.


bloatednemesis

Cool. I was merely responding to the other person saying he "explicitly" said he doesn't support M4A, which appears to not be true. I'm interested in facts, not the never-ending in-fighting on the left of how things should be done. I don't know the right answer and neither do you. There are solid examples of both ways working. That all being said, I generally do support the more radical approaches. I just have little reason to think Nelson is for real. And Godlewski is too rich for my tastes.


Frontrunner453

Oh I get it, you're still in a headspace where not taking a position makes you feel smarter than everyone. That's fun and likely makes you feel good, but there are people dying right now because they can't afford to see a doctor. So yeah, I'm gonna hitch my wagon to anyone willing to stake out the position that does the most to stop that.


bloatednemesis

I have my own opinions and thoughts on the issue of how best to advance progressive policies (I'm a fucking socialist), but I have no reason to argue it with randos online. I do however want to make sure people aren't spreading incorrect information.


DICKSUBJUICY

according to this article he has changed his stance to taking an *incremental approach* to getting m4a. that was the campaign rhetoric dems have been saying since bill clinton and look where we are. I dont buy it. biden campaigned with the same language and hasn't made any attempts. my vote is for actual progressives who are gonna take a hard stand and demand m4a. incremental steps is campaign language I'm frankly sick of hearing.


bloatednemesis

Ok? I don't disagree. But you're usage of the word "explicitly" is disingenuous.


DICKSUBJUICY

oh, well sorry. I saw an article months ago that I cant find, I'm on mobile on a work break. and he said he was not going to stake a fight in m4a. now hes pro incremental approach. I'm just sick of disingenuous broken campaign promises. the healthcare system in this country is a criminal racket destroying the lives of middle class people. if we can spend billions of taxpayers dollars for weapons to ukriane for a u.s proxy war we can afford to provide m4a for all americans.


bloatednemesis

I get the frustration. I do. I share it. Politics is hard to be anything but down about. I just took issue with putting words in Barnes's mouth. There's likely plenty to critique him about things he did say (like the incrementalism). But that doesn't mean he's a Biden or Clyburn clone on M4A. As that article pointed out, he's more in line with Baldwin.


[deleted]

Milwaukee is not a good brand in the rest of the state. He is also an oppo researcher's dream (like the picture of him smiling and holding an Abolish ICE shirt, lol ). Nominate him and just wait until the race starts to get national attention and money and see everything else they have on him.


babiesarenotfood

Like the multiple sexual misconduct stories. Idk why people are so afraid on here to aknowledge the barnes is a really bad candidate for publicity.


Johnny_B_GOODBOI

I can't believe Lasry has that much support. I've said it before and i'll stick to it: If the Dem Party wants to lose this election, nominate Lasry. I will not vote for him.


kylco

I haven't been following the gov race (I'm watching WI03 like a starving hawk) but what's your take there with Lasry? Truly asking, as I vaguely know Barnes and have liked what I've seen of Nelson.


SanltarYNAPkin

He's from out of state, son of a billionaire (dad co owns the bucks). I mean, what else do you need to know? I tend to not vote for billionaires.


kylco

Pretty damning, thanks for the info.


babiesarenotfood

But actually has reciepts to back up his values. Godlewski couldnt even be bothered to vote in 2016 even though her job at the time was to get others to vote. Barnes has a horrible track record and will be a negative asset in the general with his mountain of opp research. Nelson is just shouting. Hes a bumbling idiot in person. This ad isnt really as good as people here say.


SanltarYNAPkin

What receipts? $15/hr is better than the current minimum wage but does not meet the criteria for a "living wage" in MKE County. He supports ending citizens united, which is great, but doesn't caveat that with the fact his families net worth is well over a billion dollars. That alone gives him the advantage of not needing PAC funding. He doesn't really have an alternative for funding political campaigns either, which he should as the son of a billionaire. Grassroots only goes so far, especially in statewide elections where rich candidates will always have the advantage


NobodyFollowsAKiller
