Some internet users have described the ad as <em>\u201cdehumanizing.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Harris campaign released the ad on Instagram and Snapchat. It uses dating-game-style videos designed to encourage young people to vote. In the advertisement, a black man can be seen approaching a group of women holding balloons, who question him about his income, height, and whether he works out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After getting apparently favorable responses, one woman asks if the man has a plan to vote in the November US presidential election.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cNah, not my thing,\u201d<\/em> he replies. The response prompts the women in the scene to pop their balloons, while the caption on the screen at the end reads <em>\u201cVote. Election Day is Nov 5,\u201d<\/em> alongside a message that the ad was paid for by \u2018Harris for President.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>New Harris\/Walz ad tells black men that women will reject them if they don\u2019t vote.
