at this time. I do believe there is a time for it. There is a reason they have some of the liberal/Hollywood/left of center money.
They made good Ads and people wanted a source of hope and more aggressive/effective Ads.
Some viewed these as the best ones....and yes they were used against the left for years.
I'm not saying bashing them is off the table, in fact we should be upfront about who they are (see video below).
AOC and others have bashed them and continue to do so.
I have noticed some are just consistent and never let up....I mean wtf. Why not spend that much energy making good Ads for people to invest in so they wouldn't have to give to LP? Can we at least wait until after the GA run-offs?

(89,244 posts)the ones who most attack TLP are the types that booed Hillary along with other Democrats at the Democratic Convention in 2016 .

They're helping exponentially more than those bashing them.

(89,244 posts)There is a runoff for 2 Senate Seats and TLP reacts by making ads supporting the Democrats who are running there.
Why would anyone oppose this ? People give to them because they like the ads they make.

(297,029 posts)have to always be complaining about something.
And, TLP isn't bashing Dems like you said which is more than can be said for those calling The Democratic Party "Coastal Elites".. check out who's saying that to see how "elite" they are.

(8,199 posts)I don't understand why you would think the OP doesn't also recognize Georgia Democrats' contributions. Some things are so obvious they go without saying.
We needed people who registered new voters. We needed people who made phone calls. We needed people who donated. We needed people who could persuade new voters and infrequent voters to vote for Biden and yes, we needed people who could persuade a few Republicans and Republican-leaning voters to vote for Biden, too.

(557 posts)I love myself some LP and I feel without their ads we would be still posting soft ball ads and kind of going high when they go low. I give them plenty of credit and glad we had them on our side.I see the RW doing their crazy mess, but I will never understand bashing someone who wants the same things we do. This is why I wish AOC would chill and realize the country is far from MFO and the phrase defund the Police and green new deals. We have to get together and play the long game like Republicans does.

(22,314 posts)them and send them money that could go directly to candidates or more aligned orgs is generally not a good thing but I do find my opinion on that tends to be in the minority here.

(1,803 posts)I still can't trust them....but I understand why many on the left did give money. They wanted someone to take the fight to the clowns in a way they'd understand.

They won't be able to cover themselves with all of this Dem support for the Lincoln project.
