Want to contribute in the upcoming 2020 election? There's a simple thing everyone can do that will cost Democrat candidates big money over time. Make a habit to click Democrats' ads. The ads that pop up in Google searches, Adsense ads, cost the advertiser somewhere between $1-$5 every time someone clicks it. A way to drain money from Democrat candidates is to start clicking their ads. Doing this for every candidate for even just a month can cost them thousand of dollars. Draining money from minor candidates who will eventually drop out anyways is important because that gives them less money to pass on to the party, left-wing groups, or other candidates.
Pic related gives a quick step-by-step guide on what to do. You can also search the candidate on Bing's search engine, as a few of them put ads on there as well. Do this at least once every day from your phone, computer, laptop, other devices and from multiple WiFi connections if post (home WiFi, phone's cellular data, school/work WiFi, etc).
Tips: Use Incognito Mode if you use Google Chrome, or a browser equivalent. This has to do with not having your page visits/cookies and them not being linked with your Google account in case you don't want Democrat ads/labelled as a Dem in Google's ad system.
Open a new tab to click on the next ad. This is to avoid the candidate's site's analytics from possibly showing that people came directly from another candidate's site's, alluding to our ad clicking.
>How does this cost the candidate money? The ads displayed at the top of Google/Bing search results are paid for by the campaign. Clicking on the ad costs the campaign extra money than what they would have been usually charged for it just appearing in your search results.
>Google/Microsoft is left-wing/has immense left-wing bias. How is making Google/Microsoft richer a good thing? Of course Google and Microsoft have a large left-wing bias, but they aren't the Democrat Party. Their main concern is running their business and making it profitable. Every dollar the Democrats gets goes toward their political agenda because they're a political party. The lefty corporations have other concerns than just politics, so $1 their pocket is better than $1 in the Dems pocket.
>Doesn't this boost Democrat engagement/boost their page views? The page the ads link to is the candidate's donate page. I don't see how an increased amount of page views on their donate page is a good thing, especially when they result in NO DONATION. That's not a marker of success.
>Why is "Candidate X" not on your list? Some candidates don't run ads on search results, the biggest of them being Bernie Sanders. Every other relevant/semi-relevant candidate has them on Google, and some have them on Bing. Feel free to search on Google/Bing for each candidate to make sure your list is full on everyone advertising.
>The Democrats have unlimited money so this doesn't matter. Not true. I don't buy that they have "unlimited money" or have tens of millions of unreported funds considering the scandal if it were found out would be insane. It is more likely they don't have an endless stream of money, like some claim, so it's worth draining their limited amount of money.

>This will take too long/I'm lazy af to click the ads. If you make a bookmark of the ads like the OP's pic, the whole list takes 2-3 minutes, so not long at all.
>I don't want to get tracked by Google/ain't this illegal. No, it's not illegal. Companies click on their competitors ads but its considered unethical so they publicly shun doing so. I don't see the tracking/data mining being an issue if you use incognito and aren't attached your Google account with the searches. However, if this is an actual concern, then use a browser you don't normally use, a VPN, or other anti-tracking tool.
>It's still the primary so this doesn't matter. The money the winning candidate has going into the convention obviously follows them into the general election. Also, it is a good thing if the losing candidates have less money because they can turn around and donate it to the Democrat Party, the winning candidate, or other Dem candidates running in different elections.
>You're a shill for the DNC, Shareblue, George Soros, JIDF, etc. Nah, just trying to drain Democrats' campaign funds.

>Nah, just trying to drain Democrats' campaign funds. you are a shill from the DNC just trying to trick us into watching your brainwashing ads.
The article is in the context of businesses doing it to their competitors. This most likely assumes that the clicks are coming from employees at one business, who continually click on their competitors' ads, over and over and over again. The spam is easy to detect since its all from the same IP and most likely dozens of clicks in a short period of time.
The above method is different because a) There are around 15 candidates, each with their owns ads, so it's not all one single ad. b) The OP's pic suggests clicking the list 1-3 times per day. If 3 times per day, then space out the click sessions with a few hours in between. Personally, I only click about once per day, sometime twice. c) The clicks aren't coming from one IP or one device; they'd be coming from all over the US and even the world. Many different computers and many different IPs. It is exactly what the article says, in pic related, the businesses concerned about clicking fear.
I added Steve Bullock to the list, so use the OP's pic from now on. I'll update the bookmark list when candidates enter/drop out/start or stop using search result ads.

They're all kiked, just get Ad Nauseum.

My fear with Ad Nauseum is that Google detects it as a bot and disregards the clicks, not charging the advertisers for the clicks.

Done

If you click dem ads, their analytics are going to tell them that the ads are working, which will encourage them to further put out more ads, and therefore have a wider reach and audience and influence, all because you thought you were clever. Their funds are unlimited anyways, you're not doing shit. Use your brain to go 1 step ahead next time, amateur.
Wyatt Gutierrez
Retarded Idea. Clicking on the links will only encourage them to post more ads everywhere and it will encourage the normies to vote democratic. If anything we should be making sure all candidates get on the debate stage. the more the merrier
Evan Robinson
Oh yeah and not to mention that by clicking the ads you are providing revenue for the platforms which HOST the democratic ads. Fucking teenagers on this board

Also don't forget to respond to any pollster who calls you. Tell them you're voting democrat. When the left thinks the election is in the bag, it demotivates them to vote and has the opposite effect on the right
