The narrative matters bc the far right is engaged in widespread, organized narrative warfare. 16/
I should have one or two new pieces out soon. 17/
The other thing re: election security advocacy: there are many with blue checks, including journalists (even on the left), who believe it is irresponsible to tell the public the truth. I used to spend a lot of time taking these people on, which is in itself very adversarial. 18/
I am not in the right mental space to do that. It is exhausting and negative by necessity. 19/
As an example, this article of mine includes a section on why the “most secure election ever” narrative (promoted by Chris Krebs & Democrats) misled. Krebs blocked me long ago 4 highlighting how he misled. But I’m right. 20/ jennycohn1.medium.com/why-have-so-ma…
But being at constant odds with celebrated people takes a toll. 21/
It’s a long piece. Here are screenshots of the section I’m referring to. 22/
@jennycohn1 DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP! America needs you more then ever! I appreciate you and so do so many others. Go easy on yourself. we NEED YOU!
@jennycohn1 Very logical. Hard to believe the “election security goals” are even controversial!
@jennycohn1 You went after this with everything you have. You should be lauded by every politician who wants free and fair elections.
@jennycohn1 So sorry to hear how difficult this has been for you. Rest, recharge, and take care of yourself. Thank you for all your hard work
