2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSocial media campaign asks whether you are "man enough" to vote for Hillary
Translation: Vote for war and greed or else you're not masculine enough to satisfy this socially constructed gender role.
I simply can NOT imagine Bernie Sanders running an ad like this questioning people's gender or prodding people to be more macho by voting a certain way.
BONUS: Same model is also the face of Portland's syphilis warnings.

/just kidding. It's impossible to "steal" somebody's girlfriend because the girlfriend is her own independent actor with her own agency, making her own adult choices.

(13,305 posts)...and plays upon the exact problem I've had with HIllary since day one: painful, cringe inducing overcompensation as well as wanting to have it both ways when it comes to gender.
If this is a sign of what is to come then we are good and royally fucked.

Cheese Sandwich
(9,086 posts)This is how I imagine the conversation going:
We're polling poorly with younger men, people with beards, people with tattoos, and the ethnically ambiguous.
Find a model that hits all those points.

If she was not woman enough for Bill, why would anybody be man enough for her?.

The last person who was "Man enough for HIlary" and spent years with her now looks like a cancer patient
@iowahawkblog @benshapiro Hilary's man enough for both of them.
I think given about third is the charm that they're too stupid to learn.

Cheese Sandwich
(9,086 posts)They are very expert an manipulating the conversation. Micro-scandals like this keep the focus on your candidate but don't really do much damage. If any.
Also could help distract from the last couple days of headlines about the email server and investigation.

(38,613 posts)Supporters are encouraged to hold house parties and volunteer for Clinton, but will also receive a Thx Box - a campaign version of BirchBox, the home delivery subscription where women get carefully curated beauty products sent to them once a month. In this case, though, supporters will get household products that Clinton likes and uses (as well as campaign merchandise of course). People who order a Thx Box will even get a bitmoji of a pink pantsuit.

The Clinton campaign isn't doing ads anything like this garbage. It's a Twitter thing with people making up images.
It should not be here.

(146,317 posts)Shame on you for spreading this crap. It doesn't even look authentic, and is not at all in line with the real ads being put out by the Hillary campaign.
Can you not find something legitimate to post on DU? This sort of thing is just silly and does nothing to further your goals. Please stop.

Cheese Sandwich
(9,086 posts)Hillary supporters have been using that hashtag for months
MineralMan
(146,317 posts)It's not an "ad campaign" at all. It's some twitter hashtag created by some individual. You're trying to imply that it's some sort of Clinton campaign ad. That's simply not true. Anyone can post any damn thing on Twitter. That does not make it part of the Clinton campaign.
I find this to be an ugly sort of slam on your part. I'm not sure how you found this, but it's obviously not from the Clinton campaign. They aren't using any ads even similar to this. It's an individual effort by someone.
There are no links to this image other than those related to an almost empty Twitter hashtag. In my opinion, you should self-delete this. You will do as you please, I'm sure, but that's my suggestion.
Cheese Sandwich
(9,086 posts)I don't know who created it? Do you? Maybe it came from one of Hillary's super pacs.
The web musings of Bernie Bros discussed constantly so it's clear the hashtags of Hillary supporters can also be mocked.
All you're saying is that this isn't an "offical" ad campaign. If that's your point, you may be right, I don't know.
MineralMan
(146,317 posts)That image originated on Twitter, and exists nowhere but there and on sites that link to that twitter hashtag. Do some research before posting garbage on DU, won't you? You're embarrassing yourself.

(8,692 posts)I work with a woman who was paid something like $500 in 1998 to model in a bunch of office and urban scenarios and those images have been used in everything from sexual harassment and suicide prevention pamphlets to advertising for backpacks and Mississippi tourism (the picture in question was taken in Huntington Beach) and office products like ergonomic keyboard accessories.
The pictures of her with a giant Motorola cell phone and using an ancient Apple PowerBook have fallen out of use, but everything else pops up regularly.
Her mother had a cork board in her kitchen with everything she has ever found using one of the images.
$500 and "it's not porn" as well as professional hair and makeup sounded pretty good to 19 year-old her, but now she just cringes every time she sees one of the images.
