josh could've won if they like... actually did anything. he had a ton of early momentum but chose to keep tiktoking and tweeting instead of canvassing or phone banking.

since day 1 of jess's campaign, we've been doing voter contact. will she win? i don't know, it depends on if people keep up the momentum these next six weeks.

You have to vote for either buttar or pelosi. Those are the rules, I didn't make them.

I remember people here(c-spam) wanted Chelsea Manning to run for senate and got real mad when I pointed out that she's a bit of an idiot and has no experience related to campaigning.

This is because he's an idiot with no organization skills. There is a difference between people with a working class background that have experience in a leadership role in a union, working on another leftist political campaign etc and going straight from driving a truck to running for federal office.

well that�s supposed to be what a campaign manager does. but his �campaign� seemed to do absolutely nothing, they got caught up in side projects like the NATIONWIDE RENT STRIKE or that �rose caucus� that�s NOT the DSA endorsement

you can't blame everything on his campaign manager, and the fact that he's running for federal office without knowing if his campaign manager is doing gently caress all is a sign that he shouldn't be in federal office.

"well that's supposed to be what a director of CIA does. Obama's 'CIA' seemed to torture people, they got caught up in side projects like overthrowing governments and NOT collecting intelligence to allow political leaders to make informed decisions."

oh for sure i didn't want to make it seem like josh was blameless. plenty to go around when a guy does THAT bad.

imagine someone from c-spam running for for office, except that instead of ever talking to their voting base they just posted in c-spam. Also, they're not even a good poster and regularly had mental breakdowns and posted ban me threads whenever they needed to take a break from posting because they have absolutely no self control. Also imagine another goon's wife working in his campaign, and the other goon gets extremely mad if chapotraphouse makes fun of his wife for buying expensive mechanical keyboards using campaign money.

he honestly meant well I think, but he's a great example of how just because someone is a leftist (or claims to be one) that doesn't mean they're competent.

Lee Carter is also a poster. So I don't blame you for seeing someone trying to capture the same energy and assuming they might not be bad but yeah there's a reason Lee is in state office and didn't immediately run for president

he raised 250k and got like 1% of the votes or something hilarious. He did absolutely nothing to engage with his voters and just posted on twitter about how he supports various left wing causes. Also he never actually helped or contributed to them. Just the left version of thoughts and prayers by saying we need a rent strike instead of actually organizing one.

IIRC he was just telling random people not to pay rent instead of helping to organize any kind of united strike
