They got in a fight when Marianne wanted to use the quartz PLL crystals in his TR 808 for a reiki healing stunt at a fundraiser
"I need them for healing."
"But I need to them to keep the beat."
"But I need them for healing. I must have them for healing. And I hate to mention it but... I am your boss."
"I quit!"
You can't corner the Dorner, and you can't browbeat the Daou beat
Now I want him to tweet with a musical embed.
"This composition is rough but I'd like to share it anyway. I started thinking about it within an hour of leaving the Marianne Williamson campaign. I was inspired. It's called "Don't Browbeat the Daou Beat" and it features my trusty TR 808 drum machine that I do not allow to be messed with. Full stop. Anyway - here it is...":
Please, Chairman Daou:chairman-daou: read some theory. A man with a brain this powerful could do great things, but he lacks all focus and so is easily misled by charlatans and fools.
Also, pretty good odds that he's just a grifter anyway.
I'm so torn between "he's not very good at being a grifter" and "he's trying very hard to do the right thing and ... is not very good at it"
it's so difficult. i really want to believe in him, cause he just feels so sincere. but he makes it hard lmao
He's always been fairly left wing, like during the Obama Admin he published a few left critiques of his foreign policy. But he also works in political consulting which means you have to abandon all of your own beliefs the instant you get hired by someone.
Maybe he's an oddity - a grifter who feels guilty once in a while.
I've heard from former staff members from older Dem campaigns that he has a very "my way or the highway" attitude and doesn't play well with others. This turnaround was quick tho, lol.
Tbf Orb Mom was never a good bet, and always a better meme.
Psl should recruit him if he wants to be actually left wing
