    Literally no one is saying to use the “high road”, I’m saying that, as a strategy, using disinformation will not accomplish our goals. And that’s not even taking into account the results. You think tricking people into following us based on doctored images will get loyal, dependable supporters??

    Look, you have your opinion and I have mine. Plenty of progressive think tanks, organizations, podcasts, etc will do focus groups and surveys closer to the midterms elections. At which point we’ll have a better understanding of voters and messaging… In the meantime, I can only speak for myself: I, personally am far less likely to support any candidate that uses disinformation and blatant lies. Am I alone? Maybe. But I’m willing to bet there’s millions more that feel the same way…
