    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 supporting 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 election. 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…

    Because… it’s not the truth? At least in regards to that edited image. Republicans may not care what’s real, but I do. Yeah, Trump’s a piece of shit. But the one thing he can never do is to turn me into one. Even if we disagree, please take care of your family, friends, and community.

    Naw, people in this thread are the same “just trust science!” ones, except when it comes to things they have a bias about. Look, I get it: you’ve been using unsafe food practices since living on your own and you’ve never gotten sick. That doesn’t mean you never will, or that anyone who eats your improperly-prepared food won’t!

    It’s okay to learn and grow. My own mother, retired from the healthcare industry had to learn that a freezer is not a time capsule, you can’t eat decades-old food with no consequences…

    EDIT: The minutes-old downvote with no sources or facts proves my point tenfold. You have nothing, just your anecdotal feeelings.
