Which part, the grift or the trojan horse?

The former requires access to big donors or fleecing working class people, The latter, should be trivial to set up a bajilion 501c3s to hide the connection between leftist messaging and rightist money.
OTOH, this prospect reminds me of Mother Night.
If the dems consider project Lincoln people to be part of their tent then I truly hope that the dem party completely collapses. Might as well get Trump to switch back to D and add him back into our big tent in a few years once his image is rehabilitated by right wing dems

And it’s stupid for two reasons. The pretending that 50 of us talking to each other is affecting the election is ridiculous. I don’t know that anyone here did anti-Biden mailers or radio commercials or Facebook campaigns. Jeesus H. Christ. Second, Imo, people are dumb yeah, but not that dumb and they’re pretty good at telling when someone is full of shit. And “Biden sucks, but Trump is worse” is not bad messaging. It has the power of honesty. It’s harder to dismiss as partisan tribal bullshit.

She’s fighting back instead of rolling over and allowing herself to be villainized. II hear bad things can happen to your future goals if you are the subject of such a campaign over a period of decades.

Hard to believe this is not bullshit from people who actually want AOC out because they don’t like her policy positions and “stop the infighting” isn’t just tactical. Like, that’s OBVIOUSLY true for TLP people, but probably the same for the posters here. Yeah, you make like her sick burns on Twitter, but that’s it.

But they aren’t helping. That is the point. Call them out now and try and divert some money heading towards them to actual Democrats.
Yeah these guys are definitely “helping” and we should definitely defend them from attacks from that radical AOC

Did LP run any ads against anyone besides trump? Did they help fight republicans in congress or state legislators?
Its hard enough to vote for dems and be on team dem. If LP is now my new ally i think ill go back to strict third party voting accept for people like AOC.
All they want to do is find a new home and turn the dems more right after trump booted them from the republican party. The last thing the dems should do is give them a seat at the table.

It’s astonishing that anyone following politics is only now discovering that the LP is a massive grift. Like we were on that from day 1.

I liked their content but fully expected they were grifting 70% of the money that got donated. I was still a little shocked when instead they grifted everything but the video production costs. If we had won by a landslide with some single digit improvement among the GOP base I’d be welcoming them to the family… but yeah that is not what happened.
This is America, friendo, women who defend themselves are OUT OF LINE! PUSHY! SHRILL! SHE SHOULD SMILE MORE!

did the dccc pick a fight or was it just some from the failed campaigns doing it?
i’m a spanberger fan although i have no idea how conservative she really is, nor how progressive she isn’t. having lived in rural va, it’s awfully hard to fight the labels down there, eg northam is a baby killer because he was a pediatrician. plus a ton if boomers are cold war-era military down there. i understand it’s difficult to be equated to socialism every time the squad makes the news.
but, i also get that it’s not aoc’s fault some constituents are dummies who don’t like progressive ideas. tom periello had to vote against obamacare on some abortion fantasy, and he still didn’t stand a chance at re-election, though it was certainly helped by gerrymandering.
if this is what passes for discourse in the big tent, so be it. i’m certainly for m4a and gnc being at least tried. suck it up abigail, truth slays.
