Sooooooโ€ฆyou are up for a plan to influence in a nefarious way candidates you find extreme and then when they win you will call people extreme and say thereโ€™s something wrong with a wide swath of people??? Seems like more of the same type of illusions you all put forth 24/7..

Stupid and dangerous strategy. This strategy helps normalize far-right extremist Republicans. We need to ostracize these bastards, not give them a platform as legitimate candidates.

Soโ€ฆ these people who literally cannot get elected in your own wordsโ€ฆ youโ€™re throwing millions of dollars at to give their voice a platform?
Itโ€™s such a wildly short sighted strategy. On the off chance it helps swing any elections this cycle (questionable), youโ€™ve now helped give the most malignant voices a larger audience of people who will internalize their bizarre bullshit. And then vote accordingly next time!

Democrats are pushing the Republicans to the right by propping up further right Republicans in Republican primaries.
