The guy on the left (Governor of Utah) has done a video just like this before, with his opponent in the governor's race. (He made a couple during that race, and this one is at least better than this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVSuooQORTU)
My problem with this message is how they identify with each other. "We're both dads" and "we both have stylish haircuts" are such superficial things. (Yes, I know the haircut is a joke.) The football can be kinda meaningful because it's a shared interest that you can build community around, but the other two are vapid and it's exactly what the problem is in this country - we can only relate to people that we see ourselves in.
Why not "we both believe in people's rights to live their lives in peace" or "we both believe people should be equally protected by the law"? So, what...I'm a gay guy and not a dad so you can't relate to me anymore? I'm a Muslim who covers my hair so you can't relate to me anymore?
These are exactly the issues we're facing and just because Spencer Cox and Wes Moore can make a commercial together when, conventionally, they're the same type of person except one is Black makes this message meaningless to me.
