In light of the last thread about this spot and how mean people were...this is a real, live NH resident. He definitely contributed to the system as a professional and during retirement he volunteers and is active. I know him. He's a very kind man. I think he thought he was doing the right thing by agreeing to appear in this tv spot and I think the PAC/commercial spot producers did him dirty. Terrible quotes, terrible camera angle, and terrible production along with OVERplaying the dang spot. Hate the spot, but please be mindful that he's a real man, dad and grandpa here in the the Granite State.

Thanks for this comment. It really does feel like this election comes down to empathy vs cruelty.

Feelings are all fine & good but for the love of God please don’t vote on emotions. That’s how we got CornPop’s grandpa

This election comes down being evicted vs maybe having a small chance in hell to actually get by - or more simply put being in a depression vs a recession.

Both sides are clowns it’s a matter of which side is less of a sideshow.

Empathetic policy isn’t purely emotionally driven, not that you can fully separate emotion from policy anyway.

I’m not sure either side has had a good policy in 30 years. But I was strictly speaking about voting based on emotions. Not policy. But the same principles do apply.

Feelings are how we’ve justified sending over 50 billion dollars to Ukraine. In my mind it’s just a replacement for Afghanistan & the military industrial complex.

Judging from a lot of the ads, it's a little hard to tell which side is empathy.
