        To be fair, the bench is a lot thinner for the left. For consevative Democrats, the think tank/media/lobbyist/campaign worker/consultant complex numbers easily in the hundreds of thousands, if not more. There are tons of people roughly in alignment with your candidate, who have serious experience, who you can call up and ask to work on your campaign.

        There are a lot fewer leftists to begin with, and a lot fewer with any experience at a job like this. This is one reason why leftist media outlets are important -- it's a way to develop people who might work these kind of campaign jobs. That was basically Briahna Joy Gray's path to a high place in Bernie's campaign.

      From what I read about his campaign I don't think his manager really had a handle on Joshua, they found out the same time we did that he was making his own dumbass party, for example. So hopefully it goes better with Lee but yeah not a ringing endorsement

          You know I don't remember when the move happened in relation to the campaign, actually, but I do seem to remember that Violet wasn't really in direct contact with Joshua when the wheels really started coming off. I might be misremembering though

              the rose caucus is a fake coalition that only exists online and is great at collecting donations from all over the country for unprepared spoiler candidates that couldnt get dsa endorsements and cant get above 8 points in their elections. the whole project is as unserious as the joshua4congress campaign was. turns out there's already an organized socialist coalition that does a much better job at what they pretend to be doing, it's called DSA
