I think "Does it mention or show a politian or political party?" is a reasonable first pass, with room to add additional restrictions as people find loopholes.

- nonethewiser 4y agoI'm not sure this answers the question because it fails to define what "political" means.
- toast0 4y agoIn this narrow definition, a politician is a person holding or running for elected office, and a political party is a specifically registered organization that is formed with the express intent of organizing voters and politicians, such that the voters vote for the politicians. There's a list on Wikipedia [1]. Of course, this narrow definition leaves out a lot of political issue ads that don't mention candidates or political parties by name, but are still very much political. Things like "support / oppose access to guns / abortion / health care / immigration / education / clean water / fair elections / military service / communication / electricity / there's a lot of other stuff" are quite often political ads without necessarily being tied to any particular candidate or party.
