Good old TV ads
Everyone knows! That is the way

Then why is the only advertisements I’m seeing are some fit dude eating doughnuts and trying to convince me of not-sure-what on YouTube and trailers for the world’s most plain looking TV shows on Freevee.

Because modern technology is so efficient that it creates an absolute endless firehose of resources and power which could do more or less anything, but the criteria that go into selecting who's going to be in charge of making decisions, and who keeps the bulk of the profit, are often a bunch of semi-random crap. So you wind up with people sitting on top of billions of dollars born of profits from donut-making, who have no real idea of what to do with the rest once they've kept most of it for themselves and their friends, and so they buy advertising with it.
Some advertising is quite effective; the leading edges of its technological development are targeted and refined to a terrifying degree. But there's also an incredible amount that's just noisy ineffective crap, basically an illustration of Sturgeon's law in the form of an expensive and irritating waste of energy for everyone involved in the process.

I've already purchased 1 Biden

Stop doing a genocide that has his base livid with him?

I didn't realize Joe Biden was the Prime Minister of Israel

I don’t know if “I’m not the man pulling the trigger, just providing the guns, ammo, 2000 pound bombs to maim and kill children and run cover against the international community (including shooting down a giant swarm of Iranian missiles)” is as strong of a argument as you think it is. Biden is instrumental in Israel’s genocide. Without Biden’s unconditional support Israel would have to stop.
-
Reagan and Bush senior told Israel to cut it out when they were overstepping and Israel straightened the fuck up.
If conservative presidents can do it, so can Biden.
-
They honestly believe he’s the president of the entire world it seems.

I’ve always thought expecting any US President to upend 70 years of foreign policy is silly. The US being a reliable ally is very important on the world stage, this stuff changes slowly.
Undermining Biden because he isn’t pulling the rug from under Israel is stupid and ignores the big picture of geopolitics. Not to mention helps trump, which will turn Gaza into a parking lot and enstate Christo-fascist theocracy.

They need social media posts too. Highlight the terrible shit that happened, the jobs lost, the terrible covid response, and ask them if thats what they want for this brewing bird flu pandemic again and to have to weather that with even less jobs.
There’s a lot more than that to draw from.
Trump repealed 112 climate regulations, left the Paris Climate Agreement, left the WHO, repealed trans care anti-discrimination law, repealed gay rights to beneficiaries, enacted Title 42 and the Muslim ban, repealed the law prohibiting Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory, repealed Net Neutrality, provided tax cuts to the wealthy that further widened our already exploitative wealth inequality, increased tariffs on goods costing the consumers, repealed the ACA without replacement, seated the conservatives in SCOTUS that repealed Roe v. Wade…
These are all great examples and would work for any human being with an ounce of responsibility and empathy. Unfortunately, most people I have tried to convince to vote for Biden, only care that shit is cheap and taxes are low. We need to attack them from their angles if we want to change their minds. And you'll never convince business owners that more taxes is good they can't see past their profits. Its garbage, and its why Trump is popular. Because we somehow have this fucked up swing where shitty Republican policies go into effect when democrats are in office and good responsible democratic policies go into effect when the dipshit Republicans are in office. Making this circus worse.
You need social media to elect the next president of the united states. I hate this world.
"You need large communication platforms to get your message out to hundreds of millions of people"
I dont hate this world, I hate those who make it what it is today. It can be beautiful. Its forced to be hell.
person on social media confused as to why social media is an important and effective means of communication
Don't just highlight the terrible shit that happened. Biden's done some things and helped a lot of people. I think they should do ads showing ordinary folks who Biden helped out, in the format of Apple's old "Switch" ad campaign.
Normal folks standing in front of a white background talking about who they are and how Biden helped them. "My student loans were just... gone." "I'm a railroad worker and now I have vacation days."
At the end, it's Biden standing with them saying "I'm Joe Biden and I approve this message."
If Democrats need to fall in love, maybe woo them a bit.
