Fuck it, I'm going full Enlightenment idealist: Our goals are fundamentally different. We want to actually create a better world, and that has to be based on TRUTH and TRUST. Fascists have to lie, because their actual program is miserable for everyone except a select few. We have to tell the truth because otherwise why not join the Democrats, tell flattering lies, and win? If you start disingenuously manipulating people, a leftist movement is impossible. By the people, for the people.

I mean, you don't have to disingenuously manipulate people, but it's good to frame your ideas in terms they understand and are receptive to.
yeah there's a middle ground between manipulation and being incredibly blunt
