Is this ad a dog whistle ? 😃

I don't love the picture of him and his wife in the fur coat at the end. It's a bit dog-whistley.

Not at all. Plays exactly the same no matter what race his opponent is

no

Showing a black opponent's photos in b&w/sepia is always iffy. And part of the problem is Jolly and his family are cartoonishly white.

"a liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in argument"

absolutely not

Some of you need black friends

Perhaps 20 years ago. Not in 2026.

no

I think to answer that you have to imagine an identical ad being run by a candidate from the other party. So, yeah. I think the sneak in a little whistle when they show his white wife wearing the fur jacket.

Don’t give the Republicans any ideas 😄.

opposing byron’s dark vision is not a dogwhistle

Legendary panhandle over performance 🔜

yes

I have to say, when they go low, let's fuckin hit 'em in the jejunum.
