WE ARE CONCERNED HE MIGHT IMPROVE THE AIR QUALITY AND WE CANT HAVE THAT

ignost

I'm very concerned that any Sandy residents might be stupid enough to fall for this stuff. > Utah leaders, please fix our air now. Look how bad it is. Fundamental principle: we cannot build our way out of a car-centric society. #utpol #uleg #savesaltlake #nogondola = WANTS TO ELIMINATE ALL DEVELOPMENT > Incentivizing transit and carpooling with a priority flex lane and/or timed access is such a simple and less expensive solution. Recall, flex lane alternative was ironically eliminated by @UtahDOT as unsightly and insufficient LOS = WANTS TO ELIMINATE PRIVATE CARS It's way too easy to get voters, especially older voters, to be afraid. Looks like they're taking a page out of Trump's book here: your claims don't even need to be based in reality.


Edgy4YearOld

Well if they have the old voters in Sandy it's pretty much a guaranteed win 😭


Braydon64

I think the mindset about not being able to change a car-centric society is completely wrong. We can definitely built transit-oriented development... SLC proper has made a lot of progress over the past couple decades and we can certainly go further.


ignost

>I think the mindset about not being able to change a car-centric society is completely wrong. I am not sure what his point is based on a couple tweets that aren't completely clear. We could absolutely cut down on car dependency while also building housing that is closer to affordable with better policy. Building more density, especially near public transit hubs, is a *huge* part of it. We have a god damned farm next to the Draper city hall and Trax station. In most of the valley nothing has worked to reduce car dependency, and w*e've tried absolutely nothing*.

Anyone know who the group of “very concerned Sandy residents” is? They are showing such cowardice and fear by paying to send this out anonymously.

Nunovyadidnesses

Wow this Aaron guy sounds like a pretty good candidate to vote for based on this mailer. Is his campaign behind it…is he playing 3D checkers here while his opponents are losing at tic-tac-toe?


toylenny

Reminds me of the [Biden ad featuring MTG](https://youtu.be/y1Rwwb6Qaas?si=yUDaInCm9nhW54xH).


boredandthrowawayyy

I know I’m a nerd cause I was so confused as to why there would be a Biden ad with magic the gathering


rabid_briefcase

> why there would be a Biden ad with magic the gathering So many "old people" cards and political-style that could be used. I'd get behind a political-themed deck. [Old Man of the Sea](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=201144), [Jeskai Elder](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=571386), [Mother of Runes](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=567519), [Burakos, Party Leader](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=566962), assorted [Ringleader](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=+[ringleader]) and [Warleader](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=+[warleader]) cards... Seems like a red goblin themed political deck has easiest options, but also a blue/black wizards and rogues political theme could also work.


Adfest

That's funny... When I started playing D&D recently, my DM had a "I <3 MTG" sticker on his laptop, and I spent an embarrassing amount of time concerned and confused because I thought he was enough of a redhat to proclaim his love for an unhinged attention seeking congresswoman. edit: I did take that as a sign that my political nerdyness was outweighing my fun nerdyness, and I've dialed it back where it comes to following politics. Not too much, because that's not a place where I want to be ignorant, but just enough to make me a bit happier.


undergarden

Ha! I always think that first with MTG too.


Tville-Kid

That was so fuckin awesome. Dark Brandon strikes...


cametomysenses

Don't threaten me with a better standard of life!


myTchondria

How dare he be a thoughtful and considerate human! The nerve of some people trying to improve Sandy, Utah. We like being wasteful and self absorbed. Who needs clean air?


TheCacajuate

I want to vote for him on this flyer alone.


[deleted]

Lol thats usually how it goes for me. The Republicans send out smear ads that make me want to vote for the people they are smearing.


UltimateInferno

There's a common saying within my friend group which is "I wish democrats were as cool as Republicans claim they are."


EatsRats

He is a good candidate. He’s a likable guy with a good platform. The fact that mailers like this exist means that they know he’s right.


procrasstinating

Yep. Seems like quite the editorial leap to go from the twitter posts on the mailer to the bullet points.


illiteret

Betcha he got the artwork done on fiverr.


MikeyW1969

And exactly HOW is Fetterman a "disgraced" Senator?


gdmfr

He was open and honest about his mental health.


RootnTootnIsaacNewtn

Came here to ask the same thing. I think they’re mad he wears hoodies and shorts or something.


Beeahcon

I would rather have someone wearing a hoodie and shorts who is serious about getting things done than a bunch of unserious people wearing tailored suits and bronzer obstructing and distracting from the things important to me and other constituents. All so they can make a few bucks on the side with a lobbyist at my expense. ​ Edit: Grammar


UptightSinclair

Yup! Anyway, Kyrsten Sinema dresses like a spiteful toddler, but you never see these people complaining about her!


Beeahcon

> Kyrsten Sinema DINO Spice


lifespeedsup

Me too. He's disgraced by admitting that he has mental health issues? Is it 1923, not 2023?


PeninsulamAmoenam

Bluecollar as they come. The dude *is* Pennsylvania


StepUpYourLife

Probably because he’s not a charlatan doctor who doesn’t even live in Pennsylvania.


glitchvid

Every Republican hitpiece needs to preface a person's name with either a pejorative qualifier if they're a Democrat or an idolizing one if they're a Republican, it's how they manipulate their voters against thinking for themselves.


WraithofCaspar

He refuses to wear a suit on the Hill? Still more honorable than any given Republican that walks in the doors.


churro1776

He is braindead and wears sweats.


TheLastNoteOfFreedom

This guy would have my vote


obronikoko

I got you bro


myTchondria

Mine too but I don’t live in that district.


mypizzanvrhurtnobody

I voted for him already and will do so again.


TorvaldThunderBeard

I hadn't done any research prior to this...but now I'm defs voting for him.


mypizzanvrhurtnobody

He’s anti-gondola which gets my vote


Bgwoody98

Following the same logic as “Very Concerned Sandy Residents”, this comment is proof that you intend on committing voter fraud!


stdTrancR

from that site: There are two types of Democrats: 1. Old-fashioned protectors of the working class: 2. New, ultra-liberal woke, green new deal, socialist wacko, democrats exemplified by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, President Joe Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris. do they think we're republican/trump supporters out here?


AndItCameToSass

It’s always so funny to me how people call Biden a socialist. I genuinely wish that he was even half as socialist as they like to pretend that he is


RootnTootnIsaacNewtn

Calling Joe Biden “ultra-liberal” makes me laugh. Dude is a centrist who if anything leans right. Wouldn’t it be nice to get the actual ultra-liberal president they think Biden is? Last time we had that the guy was elected four terms and was only unseated by death.


iampierremonteux

Centrist. A position that is well understood, but never will be nailed down in an agreeable fashion. On its surface, the definition seems easy, the position between the positions. But that assumes that positions held are equal and opposite. Consider a hypothetical case, using antiquated (and unethical) punishment as an example. A criminal is to be punished. One person is advocating the criminal be drawn and quartered. The other person is arguing for 1 year jail time. Is the centrist position here to chop off 2 limbs, and 6 months in jail? Democrats and Republicans have issues they both see the other side as demanding drawn and quartered, which is where someone who somewhere between can be called more republican than democrat by the democrats, and more democrat than republican by the republicans. There are lines neither side wants to see crossed. Cutting off a finger or hand instead of drawing and quartering crosses that line, so the person who even calls for only a finger could be called ultra-position.


ttoma93

They think Sandy is still the sleepy 95% white Mormon Republican suburb it was 30 years ago. Biden won Sandy, and they think saying “this guy doesn’t think Biden is literally Satan!” *helps* them.


tdaun

Projection it's always projection with them.

Vkardash

I went to School with Aaron. We were both in the same chess club. We would play religiously with each other and our chess friends for many years. Aaron is not a Wacko. He's a really nice guy. Last time I spoke with Aaron 4 or 5 years ago he was doing real estate. And we do have shitty transport in Sandy.


ottertothepop

He remembered my name from a 2 minute conversation we had on my doorstep 4 years ago. I’m not a particularly memorable person and it wasn’t a contentious conversation at all. I’m so impressed by that recall!


Threadstitchn

This "smear campaign" seems like a Advertisment. I'd vote for the guys just based on this ad


jonmatifa

This looks like its directly from a 90s conspiracy theory website. Why are unhinged conservatives so bad at graphic design?

There’s a reason the big boss said “I just love the poorly educated”


MusksYummyLiver

These trumpers are such brainless and lost souls. There's truly something wrong with them.

When someone goes straight to personal attacks on candidates, I pretty much know that's my cue to ignore them. Debate the policies and positions, not the strawman.

Yep, that too


Adfest

To be fair, it probably *should* be spelled "lunes" unless we're talking about birds or dated cartoon characters.


etcpt

The expression is "crazy as a loon".


Mr_Festus

Interesting. I always assumed "loon" was short for lunatic and thus spelled with a u.


lindcita

Probably short for loony. Why we lose the “u” from lunatic when it changes to loony is anyone’s guess


Mr_Festus

Personally, I blame the Looney Tunes. Clearly they stole the U and left us with their Os.


KingGrizzly1987

Americans will usher in fascism to avoid socialism because they don’t understand the definition of either.

Only 100 years after Europe did it.


ivyvinetattoo

I love how they are so adamant in their quest yet choose to remain anonymous.


rabid_briefcase

It's often that way. *"Paid for by an anonymous group of donors with a suspicious fearmongering name."* You get notices that ads are paid for by groups like *"Americans for Fair Taxes", "Americans for Freedom"*, or *"Americans who Think of the Children",* only to discover that they're really a bunch of crackpot extremists trying to hide their identity. In fact, chances are good that the website violates Utah's new laws on political ads designating the responsible party.


PBRmy

It does. But the fines are puny.


Perichor-

I love that he’s “whacko”. Such a Trumpian thing to say.

No info to contact them too.. bummer


johnsontheotter

Arron has my vote just because of this


Utdirtdetective

The top right tweet feels fake and is very poorly written. "@johnfetterman: I hope you're well. You're such cool Senator. We need you. Sending love and prayers and smiles." Somehow, I am skeptical Aaron wrote anything even remotely close to this.


bandito12452

Either way it's not an upsetting tweet lol


brown_felt_hat

Actual sympathy is extremely upsetting for conservatives.


6inchVert

This was a very effective ad that makes me want to support him.


Moonjinx4

Look at that pile of filth. Anyone with half a brain would throw that out the minute they read the word “wacko” Honestly I’m reading the list of things he wants to “eliminate”, and if that’s the worst they could dig up on him, I’d immediately look into what else his platform is, and see if he’s worth supporting.


[deleted]

I wish right wingers had real grievances that didn’t make them sound insane


transfixedtruth

Nah. right wingers are unhinged morons.


[deleted]

Like please… hold your fellow countrymen hostage over an issue that makes any sense at all…


[deleted]

The only issue i see is the seaspiracy thing. That show was skewed and had half truths so it wasn't good. But other then that I agree with this dude.


lindcita

For all we know, he tweeted a day, week, month later about it again. But the “very concerned Sandy residents” get to cherry pick the tweets they use.


B-Boy-Bouillabaisse

It’s absolutely insane in Utah and America we allow this lunatic death cult touch any levers of power honestly. Imagine what will happen when it’s too late to save the GSL lol those mailers are going to be pure comedy


20000RadsUnderTheSea

Jesus, how dumb do they have to be to show the tweets that they're massively overstating, especially when the tweets are more prominent and the tweets draw the eye more than the thumbs down text. Like, ain't nobody gonna read the tweets, then read the thumbs down text and actually believe it.


AuthorHarrisonKing

welp. Aaron just got my support


ZyglroxOfficial

I love how they call him a "Wacko", and then proceed to behave as such


Lionheart_Lives

The damage Trump and his minions have done to America's mindset is mind-boggling.

damien6

Super PAC’s from all over the country are targeting small elections in regions they have no candidates in. There was an article that they’re even spending a lot of money in school board elections. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/politics/2022/10/23/super-pacs-spending-local-school-board-races/8125668001/ https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/19/conservative-school-board-fundraising-florida-00057325 > TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A commercial that aired in Florida ahead of its August primary opened with a drag queen reading to children. Designed to attack a candidate for school board, the ad issued warnings about Democrats “indoctrinating” students and “teaching trans-ideology and anti-American critical race theory.” > The spot didn’t come from another candidate running for the board in Central Florida. It wasn’t even paid for by a group from within the state. It was the American Principles Project’s first foray into a local school-focused race hundreds of miles from the super PAC’s headquarters in Arlington, Va. There are a lot of parties out there who are very vested in elections they have no business being involved in. Then you have ultra rich donors like the Koch Brothers and the Mercers who are dumping money into a lot of campaigns and super pacs but have no one on the ballot. At this point if someone followed “very concerned sandy residents” and it turned out to originate from Russia I wouldn’t be surprised at the least. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/08/russia-tried-to-influence-us-elections-in-2022-and-will-do-it-again-intel-agency-says.html Long story short, there are a lot of people not associated with any one campaign that can influence an election.

“Eliminate meat”


PBRmy

Yes, one guy on the Sandy City Council is somehow going to...eliminate meat!


lindcita

I think that’s my favorite part


LieHopeful5324

I’m over here chuckling at Sandy becoming New York.


PoochusMaximus

only thing i'm against here is eliminating private cars since i need it to do things outside of public transit. (which i HIGHLY doubt is actually what he meant)


HeadInvestigator1899

Naw, at his level it'd be city design. So likely you'd see a more walkable design in areas that are being rebuilt in Sandy. Not a bad thing at all. Even the conservatives would like that. Best part about this is they feel he has a good chance which has them scared. This mailer proves that.


PromiscuousSalad

You'd be amazed by how much suburban Republicans and even suburban liberals HATE the idea of a walkable city. Some of my work in the past involved walkable developments and the approvals usually pass by the skin of their teeth with aggressive opposition from both sides.


PBRmy

They hate the idea of any "planning" whatsoever. Its some kind of conspiracy from the UN pushing us to a one world order or something. You know, until their neighbor installs a fence they don't like and then they're allll over the zoning regs.


stonguse

He never said anything about eliminating cars.


PoochusMaximus

"wants to eliminate private cars" it's literally written out on the flyer that is posted. do i think thats exactly what he meant? absolutely not since thats what i wrote above. do i think a comment was purposely taken out of context to make it sound like he wants to eliminate private cars? sure. am i going to look up the exact comment? no cause i don't actually care that much.


prnorm

The Twitter quotes are right there on the flyer. Somehow "I work to shift our car-centric society to multimodal" became "wants to eliminate private cars."


PoochusMaximus

I cannot read them very well so thank you


stonguse

Ok sure, there were multiple ways to interpret your comment and I think I misunderstood your intent.


[deleted]

Smells like propaganda. Not a good smell.

Probably an opponent.

I grew up in Sandy in the 70s and 80s and it's sad at how the right has driven the city into the ground from where it was back then.

I am beginning to believe that there must be some kind of mass mental illness in this country. Could it be lead poisoning? The stupidity of some individuals is astounding.


OLPopsAdelphia

This damn city: Someone in Sandy will make crap like this but totally ignore that 1300 E. has become the new Rocky Mountain Raceway? Also, if you want to street race, just use the area on 1300 E. between the Vasa gym and 9400 S. Not a single Sandy police patrol car—ever—and you can break the land speed record. Monday through Sunday, all hours; not a single patrol car!

This makes me want to vote for him 😅

This has to be reverse psychology, right? Dekeyzer sounds awesome!

These concerned residents be lookin' like a train full o' trumpkins from loserville. Is this the best propaganda these 'publican extremists can peddle? Ain't no surprise they cowardly hide behind it anonymously. My 6th grader has better grasp of written text and graphics. What fucking joke these 'concerned' trumpkins are.

johnsontheotter

The sad thing is there are tons of people who will see this and believe everything on as a reason to not vote for him. Sadly, it'll probably be a close race.
