(Thread) I feel like the Discourse around a certain Repub organization that ran numerous pro-Biden ads ties into my tweet a few days prior about holdings folks accountable. People are like “don’t be mean they helped :(“ but it really looks like they weren’t *that* effective

A lot of the biggest gains came from the thankless work of local canvassing and organizing, which is less glamorous than big, well-shot ads but definitely does seem more effective. So why shouldn’t we say “this is the much better approach?”

Just because someone means well doesn’t put them beyond criticism. We should be critical of our leaders and the methodology of our peers. Simply nodding and going along with whatever folks in positions of influence say is what got us into the mess of the last four years.

If you don’t consistently hold these people to high standards, they’ll go as low as they possibly can.

So always be vigilant, always be critical, always demand the best from your leaders.
