If we're being utilitarian here, I'd argue that the answer is to truth-tell to convince people on your side to go vote. Spreading falsehoods that advance MAGA's "fake news" narrative serves as nice red meat for those who just want to make Trump/the NRA/the right look bad, but it also helps to create more MAGA voters. Further, it turns off people like me who might be inclined to switch sides on certain issues if both sides didn't work so hard to convince me that they're incompetent (or have nefarious motives.)
