"America knows Joe Biden. He is the man for this moment ... He'll save Americans"


I can't tell if you are making an incredibly weak joke or are playing devils advocate.

What is your deal?

candidates themselves should ALWAYS ask forpeople's votes directly, and PACs should directly say the viewer/reader/listener should vote for x

But it seems to me that you are complaining about people campaigning against trump.

What gives? What is your goal here?

They are not the Biden campaign, they are a third party group, like a PAC

They can advocate for issues and policies, but cannot say vote for X

Also, an ad directly from a campaign must have a tag at the end that says. .. I am (candidate name) and I approve this message

in the old days of unlimited soft money it was definitely the case those ads couldn't directly advocate for a candidate.
