Tone policing. People often do it when they don't give a shit about the issue.

I feel like they missed a chance to actual say something.
Just having kids say fuck you to Trump isn't really a compelling video.

Thanks for being presumptuous and concluding that we don't care about a serious issue because we disapprove of a single Youtube video.

Now a video of abuelas giving Trump that work would have me on my Citizen Kane
Yup. Centrist politics and compromise are pretty much dead at this point. It's either extreme right or extreme left on policies and issues.
It's full on delusion too. Every election going forward, the Hispanic vote matters more and more. He's even galvanized Non-Mexican Hispanics against him. Cubans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans. In addition to that, he's even turned off women voters, even a GOP candidate can expect strong woman support especially amongst white, Asian and Hispanic women, and what does Trump do? Insult conservative women like Carly Fiorina, Megyn Kelly, John McCain daughter etc. How does he expect to win beyond the primary? A Republican president needs strong support nationally from centrist and center-left Democrats and independents to win. That's something maybe a Jeb Bush or Chris Christie could have gotten but Donald Trump would be dead in the water. This same issue will affect Bernie Sanders. Unlike Obama, how is he going to capture many red or red leaning states?

You're quite welcome. What kind of video would be acceptable to you? I guess the message has to be respectable or it will fall on deaf ears.
Basically.
Trump is a button pusher, he knows exactly what he is saying and to what audience. Also this video is dumb and kind of ironic, for me this is something someone like Trump would be proud of, incendiary messages delivered harshly.
Actual latin abuelitas would slap these kids.

I don't know who this is for.
Do they think people on the fence about DT are going to see this and start hating him?

I don't get it.
But then where does the news coverage come from?

kids swearing doesn't bother me.
So fucking stupid.
Line up a bunch of kids tell them to cuss the fuck out of Trump to make a viral video that capitalized on the concept of kids cussing and giving zingers for T-shirts.
How about if you wanna do an actual video with kids talking about their stories or whatever and try to make it viral by sharing an emotional story of a kid talking about his family and what might happen if they are deported.
But this shit? Cringeworthy at best and manipulative at worst.
How do they even expect this type of stuff to even have an impact?

terrible video. i swore a lot as a kid too but it just doesn't work in this context. when proving a political point stuff like this never gets the higher ground. these younglings...
How dare you bring common sense into this discussion. Don't you know it's all about the message itself? Delivery and appropriateness be damned. We wanna be edgy and shit.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if many of the people complaining about children swearing have no issues using terms like anchor babies and worse. I am talking about the racist supporters by the way. Silly, maybe, but pretty harmless in the end.
Pretty sure no one is defending this.
I wouldn't be bothered really if this was some natural, candid interview of the kids. They were hired, handed a script, which they probably rehearsed before shooting it on the camera.

Shameful, the kind of thing that can be easily turned against you, the use of cursing kids with the sole purpose of causing controversy, and the one blurred message one can take from this lousy video can be basically reduced to "Fuck you trump", and I agree with that sentiment, but this isn't the way to go about it.
I think that's an unfair assumption. But I guess that's the goal of the video right? So a certain group of people can feel good about their own positions while purposely agitating the racists. I mean it's certainly not a constructive video if the goal is to reach to people on the fence about this issue and worst of all, it's extremely manipulative on the part of the adults forcing the kids to deliver this message in this way.

Same. Awful video. Literally everything about it is shit. HEY LETS BE EDGY AND COUNTERATTACK. SURELY THIS WILL CONVINCE XENOPHOBES. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea? This is the type of thing that actually justifies the whole "all minorities are thugs" stereotype. I even disliked the fucking video.
Yet I agree. Fuck Trump

They didn't get their point across at all, at least not to anyone that matters when it comes to the issue. If we're the target audience, then this is nothing more than circle jerk material because we already know that Trump is an asshole.
If the target audience is average folks who don't realize that Trump is a racist turd, "the message" has been lost because the discussion on news outlets and social media is about the foul language used by the kids and whether it was appropriate. Anticipating the reaction is part of making videos that are trying to push an important message.

Looks like Luke Montgomery is working officially with Clinton. The same subnet hosts Hillary's stuff:

edit: He's a backer of the Clintons on his own. His campaigns aren't sanctioned or directed by Hillary herself though.

Well, racists' feelings really shouldn't be taken into consideration. They're going to continue believing what they believe about us, anyway and this video (as a reaction) pales in comparison to several incidents like this:

We're really tired of it. As for the bolded, well, I can understand why you would see it as manipulative, but sometimes people feel they have to fight back against rather venemous rhetoric with some fire of their own. If this video can get more discussion about the issue going, then I see that as a good thing.

I'd love to see someone disrupt SNL. Course I'm not watching this weeks due to the piece of trash being on it so if someone does guess I'll have to see a clip of it on youtube.

Whoa is this some detective shit? Lol Why would Hillary make an ad to petition for her to run? She is already. I'm confused.

wants to fuck an Asian grill.
I'm scared.
Jesus that man has some serious restraint I would have lost my shit if some stranger spat on me. Sometimes you have to shock people into listening for better or worse. You're fooling yourself if you think these kids sharing some personal story is going to get people to care. When the dream act was trying to get passed young people shared their stories with the entire nation and no one cared it wasn't enough to get anything done. Sure it spread awareness but what has come of that? Look at the hate being fanned to the point where people are ready to get violent. We're fanned if we and we're famed if we don't.
