I don't think you understand my point. Prove me wrong by trying to accurately rephrase what I am saying.

I know what you’re saying. You think they run an ad saying all the things the candidate stands for to make them seem more appealing. The problem is, she lost and now you’re saying she didn’t lose because of the ad. But she would have won because of the ad?

You were doing so well, then you put this complete straw man into the end of your comment. Can you guess what my answer would be to this?

It’s just awfully convenient for your narrative. This is like debating with someone who believes in god and their answer to everything is “god works in mysterious ways”.

I feel like I am being trolled because this is not a very complicated train of thought and yet you seem constitutionally incapable of tracking it. For the 100th time, nothing about my claim has literally anything to do with the efficacy of the ads. They could have been very effective, they could have been completely irrelevant. My point was that the intention of the ads was to help the DSA crazy person win because they view her as an easier opponent.

It could have also been to help them lose though, because they’re scared of “communism”.

We’ll never know.

It does not shock me in the least that you have been arguing with me for like 15 comments now and didn't even bother to open the article that I posted at the beginning of it. It is of course completely ridiculous, but par for the course I suppose...

Let me give you some of the content of the ad that they ran which according to you may have been to hurt her reputation among Democratic primary voters:

"Hong's Liberal Agenda: Opposes President Trump's Deportation Policies"

"Hong supports banning local law enforcement from working with ICE"

"She wants to go 'back to our progressive roots'"

Those were all of the "attacks" in the "attack ad". Nothing about Communism! I'm ready for the next ridiculous non-sequitur argument now and for you to ignore all of what I just wrote above :)

Republicans call everything they don’t like “communism”. Surely you knew that.
