    It’s extremely common to remove attack ads of any kind if something bad happens to your opponent. You might know that if you were an American.

        I’d be interested to hear whether you regularly attend funerals and speak ill of the deceased. They stop their ads for the same reason you don’t shit talk at a funeral: its disrespectful and makes you look like a prick.

            I’m not asking if you remember them as an arsehole and speak of them like that. I’m asking if you do that at their funeral.

              If I happen to attend their funeral and we are talking about them I might bring up them being an asshole. But this conversation has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand

                I’m using an ✨analogy✨ to explain to you why, even if they are “serious about the topic in the ads”, they would stop them when someone dies or a tragedy occurs. Its not some conspiracy about “planned division”, it’s because speaking ill of someone under those circumstances makes you look like (and be) a disrespectful dick.
