21. I just turned my TV on and already saw anti-Swalwell ads

Fri Apr 10, 2026, 08:49 PM

Friday

Then I got onto DU to see what's up regarding these ads all of a sudden out and of the blue. How in the hell were his opponents able to have an ad up on TV so fast?!? They followed that as immediately with a different one about some other dude who I never heard of. I am left questioning whose BS to believe right now.

I was trying to watch live coverage of the "splash down" in San Diego (that's where I live) and BOOM..."Swalwell never votes, is not hard working", etc. interrupted my nice evening.
