I see political ads for Knoxville, but I do not vote there, I live in the next county.
I want to tell them there are several reasons I would not vote for them. There are two significant words they use in their ads that make if impossible. The first is of course Republican. The other is conservative. That word has become a dog whistle to me. If you feel the need to say conservative you are appealing to a base of racist Trump supporters. They no longer care about conservative economics. They are hateful nasty people.
And no, I have not seen an ad for a Democrat though there are a couple I think.
