Hillary Clinton
In reply to the discussion: Both Sanders and Clinton produced terrific ads, but only one of them makes me feel included. [View all]okasha
(11,573 posts)5. The Sanders ad is nostalgia
for a 1950's that never was.
It's oddly retrospective. Bernie seems stuck somewhere between
his self identification as a radical "who marched with MLK" and a future that doesn't get beyond being acclaimed as a hero by all who "come to look for America."
Got news for you Bernie. Some of us had found Turtle Island 12,000 years before the folks in that ad came looking for it. Some of us came packed into slave ships and were emphatically not looking for America. Some of us were annexed involuntarily when white and English-speaking America came looking for us.
Jayzus, Bernie. "Morning in America," you and Reagan.. You sold out the Revolution decades ago.
And you don't even know it.

OP
I agree with Jonathan. Hillary's ad makes me feel included in her vision for America, too.

I love Simon & Garfunkel, from the first time I heard them. But that ad left me oddly cold....
