    I’m not suggesting people lie, but your messaging doesn’t have to be completely true to work. That’s how the red team got elected in the first place

      I’m not saying that lying and manipulation don’t work. I’m saying that we shouldn’t be on the team of the liars and manipulators.

        I clearly stated in the first half of my response that I wasn’t suggesting anyone do this, but the parent comment said saying something that’s not the truth will only achieve republicans thinking their opponents are ignorant and nothing else.

        This is demonstrably false. Anything pushed hard enough becomes the status quo. This is important to know even if all you want to do is fight back against it.
