Simon Harris & Fine Gael: Making Ireland Grotesque Again

This shit only works in the zero sum world of first past the post voting. Even though this strategy may be viable in this particular election that defaulted to a 2 horse race after Gavin dropped out it has consequences for future elections.

Simon Harris was decrying the US style of attacking your opponent only a few short years ago. Now, his party is fully behind that sort of election.

I don’t even get why. Is winning the Presidential election that important to a party?

Poor form from a sitting government. Gave my local TD a vote but with this type of carry on I’d rather be distanced from FG.

They always project. Accused Connolly of using far right talking points, then go full Maga on web ads.

Absolute gurriers running the Fine Gael campaign. I’m hoping for the sake of our political discourse that it blows up in their face and they park this approach permanently.

I feel like the fella on the old Tracker Mortgage ad, *standing up on the bus* “I … I didn’t see any US-style attack ads”
My filters and social media algorithms must be FG-proof 😳

American means lies now? If they were being accurate this would be Israeli style like the last 7+ US Presidential elections.

I mean i remember FG poster campaigns on dublin bus in bold black and red with “Welfare cheats, cheat us all”. I think that was a Leo campaign.
I think they just used a new form of media instead of print!

For someone who has been under a rock this week, where is this video? Anyone have a link? I know it’s going to be bad if none of the papers are linking to it

Considering it turned many would be Humphries voter off her, including myself, I’m gonna say it’s the last we’ll see of this US-style negative campaigning for a while.
If you look at the success of Zohran Mamdani and Zack Polanski lately, it’s clear to see that simple, plain but crucially positive and hopeful messaging is what’s going to win elections going forward.

As an American, I can confirm, you don’t want this become normalized. Your political system, and your nation as a whole will be worse off.

I’ve been saying it for months. It’s not this election I’m concerned about tis the next one. I was shocked but not suprised to see Humphries stoop to mindless populism. We’re only a few years behind the US.

It would be one thing if it was an ad that revealed something to genuinely be ashamed of, but even that wasnt managed by the ad

They forgot that our water doesn’t contain lead and our food is safe for human consumption, so average IQ must be much higher.
