An initiative aimed at boosting Democrats online offers influencers up to $8,000 a month to push the party line. All they have to do is keep it secret—and agree to restrictions on their content.
The fallout from this article is just perfect. Instead of owning this obvious fact, Democrats and democrat supporters have started attacking the author. Claiming she’s guilty of doing the same despite the obvious reality that she isn’t. At the heart of this reaction is the comparison to Republicans and the characterization of this program being underhanded and shady. It strikes at the “moral” charade put up by liberals. In their attempt to “win” they turn to the tactics of their “enemies” while ignoring and attacking the tactics of current progressive candidates and driving a wedge between themselves and the growing labor aligned progressive movement. On the one hand they want to be seen as the moral and ethical vanguard, but on the other hand they know they’re not and need to turn to these dark money astroturfing campaigns to see any motion. This is the reaction of one caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Its a pathetic and predictable set of events. This should be a signal to liberals that their ship also flys the Jolly Rodger, and that they should abandon ship. Their pride and ego will prevent them from doing so, and they will sink to the bottom of the ocean while claiming we’re the ones drowning.
literally democrats’ only argument for anything these days is that their opponents are worse. they’re incapable of judging their own party or platforms, they just figure their enemies are evil, and they’re not their enemies, so they’re good. if their enemies aren’t evil, they short circuit, like how they did a whole psyop in advance and misrepresented data to claim that people voting for leftists elected trump
