From Rick Wilson, going to pin this one to our account for future:

“Don’t drink the poison.

In the next 20+ days, you’ll be offered poison many, many times. It will come from the Trump campaign, the mainstream media, fellow Democrats, and friends. The poison, in this case, will be that of electoral despair. The purpose of negative campaigning is never to change of mind or to alter a vote. The purpose of negative campaigning is to suppress votes and force you into a cognitive frame where staying home seems like a valuable and viable alternative to political engagement.

Don’t drink the poison. They’ll try to convince you that the campaign is over and that Trump is already victorious. They’ll spin 100 scenarios of why Harris can’t win even as her numbers improve.

Don’t drink the poison.

This race will be a hard fight until the very last. It will be ugly and loud. You will want to switch it off. That’s by design.
There will be revelations and surprises in the next three weeks. Some polls will show Trump up, some will show him down. Media prognosticators who’ve never been in a campaign will declare this poll is the decisive end to the campaign or this model shows Trump will inevitably win.

Don’t drink the poison.

The reality is simple: there are two campaigns being run right now. One Campaign is to motivate a new coalition of voters from the left to the center-right, from Bernie Sanders to Liz Cheney. That Campaign is pragmatic, professional, has fuel in the tank to win, and calls out to your better angels.

Please keep your eyes clear, stay focused on the fight, and never, ever, ever let them convince you that all is lost. The lies are all Trump has left, and he only wins if we believe them.

Don’t drink the poison."

Rick Wilson created the ad that attacked Cleland (D) on nat'l defense. Cleland, who'd lost an arm and both legs to a grenade in Vietnam! It was eventually pulled bc McCain and other R vets led an outcry against it. When asked about it Wilson said,

"they didn't calculate that I have no moral center when it comes to political ads, and I will destroy the innocent and the guilty"

I don't care how "wise" his advice might be. He's a self-admitted amoral sociopath. Wilson is poison

@kims @KamalaHarrisWin Very much this. I take a pretty dim view of big-budget advertisers who spend most of their time trolling Trump to begin with, but Wilson is just a scumbag.

Reminds me that there was a hilarious interview with Wilson done by Tooning Out the News on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The gag is that the interviewers are animated vapid TV twits who say extremely cutting things apparently by accident. Wilson is clearly expecting something silly and friendly here, and they utterly eviscerate him. He is literally speechless with anger by the end. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Link is to YouTube.
