the schism/faction thing in the party is irrevocable, at this point... there's not going to be any dem electoral victories for the near future bc so many berdies won't vote for bad dems anymore while lanyards are sticking with their corporate-donors-and-pragmatic-baby-steps-are-just-fine-and-who-needs-single-payer-anyway scripts.

Pontoni’s father, who’d come down to Georgia for the election, was worried. Every time he texted his son to check in, he received a discouraging response: “Ugh.”

By 9 p.m., Pontoni knew it was over.

Shortly thereafter, his father got another text. “They want me in the boiler room,” he told Pontoni’s stepmother. The young campaign manager was giving the important people in his life a heads-up that Ossoff had lost, well before CNN called the race.

Last fall, Pontoni managed Democrat Gretchen Driskell’s campaign against Michigan GOP Rep. Tim Walberg. She lost by 15 points. Up until that point, Pontoni wasn’t used to losing. He’d previously managed a successful county commission and state House race in his native Michigan.

But despite back-to-back losses, Pontoni’s now a man in high demand, with a bright future in a party that desperately needs fresh perspectives.

“Maybe he should go from this to running a presidential campaign,” said Democratic pollster John Anzalone, who worked on the Ossoff campaign. “He has the mettle to really do any type of race.”

quote:

Pontoni rejects the postelection criticism from groups such as MoveOn.org, which endorsed Ossoff but has said he should have gone after Handel on President Donald Trump and health care more aggressively.

“When you run on national issues that are inherently partisan, because they are being litigated by the two parties nationally, you make the race more partisan, and folks tend to go in the corners of their parties,” Pontoni said.

quote:

When Ossoff first called him for a job interview, Pontoni wasn’t prepared. There’d been a miscommunication about time zones.

“He woke me up. And I was not ready at all. I had no notes, I didn’t even have my laptop open,” Pontoni recalled.

“And he’s just grilling me with deep analytical questions like, ‘How much money do I have to raise? How many doors do I have to knock?’ All this stuff, like, ‘What do you think about investing in TV?’” he said.

By this point, Pontoni had powered up his laptop and was Googling gross ratings points in the Atlanta media market.

“I told him a lot on the call, ‘I don’t know, I’ll have to get back to you.’ But I guess the fact that I said ‘I don’t know’ a lot was one of the reasons he wanted to talk to me more,” Pontoni said. “He said a lot of campaign managers weren’t willing to admit that they didn’t know things.”

quote:

The first time he thought about winning was a few weeks before the April 18 jungle primary. He happened to be driving when the campaign received a poll that showed Ossoff at more than 40 percent.

Pontoni pulled over and cried.

In a way that could be a huge improvement. But what would actually happen is the efficient AI would be owned by like 400 families, that would control something like 95% of the entire worlds economic output and all the current relatively rich middle-managers would transition to generational rent seeking where they would have a huge leg-up on the remaining 99% who own nothing.
