Related to the Democrats, the election committee published grotesque electoral spots on Friday, encouraging the vote on Kamala Harris, highlighting its support for Ukraine and US allies and in a pushy way related to Poland's history.
– Centuries ago, erstwhile invaders marched from the east, a Polish defender honked a trumpet to inform his people. Today, the freedom-loving Poles and Ukrainians inform us of a fresh threat – says the narrator in 1 of 3 ads posted on YouTube, recalling the legend of the trumpeter from the Marian Tower, informing about the raid of the Tatars. – Kamala Harris heard the beep. She will defend our allies – for their freedom and ours – adds the voice from the off.
As the Politico portal writes, advertisements sponsored by the alleged SuperPAC – independent of the authoritative run Harris committee – are about to appear on tv and online media in Pennsylvania, and later on another key states that are clusters of Polonia and Americans of origin from countries of the region, including Ukraine.
Another place evokes parallels between the Mongol invasion of Kiev in 1240 with the aggression of Russia, and the 3rd – a tough attitude of Republican and democratic presidents from the past. Among another things, they callback Trump's words, which said that he would encourage Putin to "do whatever the hell he wants" with allies not paying adequate for their defence and contrast it with the promises of the Democratic candidate to support Ukraine and NATO.
According to the portal, the initiative was followed by erstwhile congressman and diplomat Tom Malinowski, born in Poland. The politician stated that due to the highly balanced race for the presidency, in which thousands of votes in a fistful of states decide the result, the votes of voters of Polish origin can have a key impact on the elections.
– If this is simply a levelled election, decided by respective 1000 votes in 1 or more of these 3 states, in my opinion there is no uncertainty that Americans of Polish, Ukrainian, Lithuanian and another countries of Central and east Europe can decide the outcome said the Democrat.
Advertising was broadcast 3 days after the Philadelphia debate – Pennsylvania's largest city – Kamala Harris referred to Polonia perversely suggesting Trump "sold" allies to Putin.
– Why don't you tell 800,000 Polish Americans how rapidly you would abandon [Poland] for a favour or what you think is simply a relationship with a dictator who would eat you for dinner said Harris.
Americans of Polish origin account for just over 5% of the electorate in Pennsylvania, commonly considered the most crucial state for the results of elections. It is peculiarly crucial for Harris, who without triumph in this state has small chance of winning the majority of electorate votes.
Numerous clusters of expatriates from Poland and their descendants besides be in 2 another key states of the rust belt, Wisconsin and Michigan. According to U.S. census data, 900,000 inhabitants are awarded to Polish roots in Michigan, while 450 1000 in Wisconsin. These states besides have less but crucial populations of people of Ukrainian, Lithuanian or Czech origin.
