Let me get this straight, you actually think if people are using their own feet to walk and knock on doors for free, that’s not astroturfing?!
Same concept, different landscape. Organized != Astroturfing.
That’s the second best false equivalency fallacy I’ve heard over the past seven days! 👍🏾
(Nothing was gonna beat “the electoral college is literally DEI for elections”, I’m sorry. Not to denigrate your efforts or anything!)
No offense taken. I’m actually a little jealous of you; I can’t disassociate from reality at will, but I can see how that would be super handy.
