It’s still several steps above of spreading misinformation and useless negativity.
How is this worse than throwing you hands up and shouting “Don’t try because it only works sometimes”? Or even worse, “don’t try because it never works”?
Very few people are saying don’t try, which gets back to the projection I already talked about. People are begging for anything and they are getting less than nothing from the “opposition party.” So yeah, shitting on them and alienating them even more is a stupid strategy just about any way you look at it.
And if we are setting the bar at “several steps above spreading misinformation” we are pretty fucked. I didn’t mention negativity because that’s exactly what this guy is spreading.
Pretty sure I see on a daily basis here on Lemmy some highly upvoted comment saying that trying to use the democratic or legal processes to oppose MAGA is a waste of time and then usually clumsily insinuating we should all be shooting at Ice instead. Which is fundamentally terrible advice by really any measure. That’s what I take the authors point to be.
And how is asking people to stop shitting on your attempts to use the legal system somehow being spun as shitting on those critics?
