Items cited at the beginning of the clip include mechanical expertise, heavy weightlifting, and culinary proficiency. The testimonials went on to include what sound like satirical endorsements for &ldquo;childless cat ladies,&rdquo; emotional instability, and of course, a woman running for president. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;A woman wants to be president?&rdquo; one participant says. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Well,&rdquo; another answers, &ldquo;I hope she has the guts to look me right in the eye and accept my full-throated endorsement.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>The commercial appeared to come from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/typographynerd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hollywood writer<\/a> named Jacob Reed, who wrote on his <a href=\"https:\/\/jacobreed.substack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Substack page<\/a> he &ldquo;creative directed and directed this campaign for <a href=\"https:\/\/creativesforharris.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creatives for Harris.<\/a>&rdquo; Reed&rsquo;s wife has &ldquo;she\/her\/hers&rdquo; pronouns in her Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/misshezah\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bio<\/a>, as if her obvious gender was in doubt.<\/p>\n<p>The latest male-targeted ad was ostensibly another tongue-in-cheek campaign to push &ldquo;dudes for Harris&rdquo; by a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/07\/democrats-have-only-themselves-to-blame-for-americas-growing-tribalism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">movement<\/a> so obsessed with identity politics that any outreach designed for a particular constituency is expected to win support among said group.
