This is the kind of ad OUR party should run. It dissects the hypocritical mindset we should be fighting against, and makes it clear whose side the group that produced this is on.
For those who don't know, "Momentum" is an organization founded by some of the supporters of Jeremy Corbyn, the left-wing leader of the British Labour Party. The people in it are left-wing democratic socialists who are slandered as "hard-left" and "Trotskyists" by the Labour Right-ask yourself, does THIS sound "hard-left"? to you? If so...why?

Nice ad! Not sure where they're getting 'hard left' out of it

but our upper class twits aren't defined as much by language/accent, so it might be a bit harder to pull off.
Still, I'd love to see some sort of attempt made to do the same thing here. Unfortunately, the DNC seems to be afraid of waking up the working class.
