Really just disagree entirely.
1). Exit polls are skewed and meaningless this year
2). Even if we were to accept this exit poll as correct, given the nature of this race we don’t know what effect project Lincoln ads had based on those numbers. We saw a massive Republican turnout. It would still be entirely possible that without project Lincoln we would’ve seen 96% Republican go for Trump this time around. Anecdotally I know a number of Republicans me and my friends were able to persuade to go for Biden, and they were persuaded by PL type arguments. The fact that Republicans outperformed Trump Downballot further adds credence to this point.
3). For the sake of argument, let’s pretend I accept that PL wasn’t effective. PL was quite clearly using a ton of money toward their stated purpose that we agreed with at the time. They tried to help, if it wasn’t effective at least they tried. There’s no evidence anything went to a “yacht fund”. They don’t owe us anything beyond transparency.
4). It’s not like Dems that lost did so because they didn’t have enough money.
Tell you what, if they want to release their books and show how much of the money they raised went to the actual ads and how much went in their pockets then I might change my mind about them.
At the end of the day though, they aren’t Democrats, they don’t want success for Democrats in the next round of elections.
Our objectives aligned and they made some slick anti-Trump ads so we didn’t have to, great, tip of the cap to them. But there is no indication that their actions did any measurable good in the election and AOC’s point that it is possible that money could have done more good elsewhere is valid.

Giving Claire the Sarah Palin treatment here is some pretty good trolling imo.
Centrist logic: EXACTLY THEYRE NOT TEAM PLAYERS!
Intrepid reported and pundit Jake Tapper blamed AOC and the squad for moderate democrats losing house seats.
stop teasing and announce your own pac plz
