    Tbh Lee Carter is evidence of the value of building out the bench. State and local level electeds can attack national politicians without the same sort of pushback from their collegues.

        No? He's an elected official who's actually managed to do good shit despite his minor status as like the only leftist in his state house.

            perhaps, although i remember his campaign being pretty horrible at allocating funds for things that matter and not for tablets for the leadership

              and not for tablets for the leadership

              People need computers to work. In that case the options were a new computer, or a new "keyboard"* for a Surface Book. The keyboard was cheaper.

              * It has more shit in it that makes the computer faster.

                sure, again that compared to the paltry amount he spent on ads was pretty pathetic

                campaigns need tech to run, but if they don't put the money towards winning it's a waste of money in an already crowded race, and where Bernie endorsed a GND candidate who had been an established local politician with grassroots support who wasn't this guy

                  Absolutely they didn't spend enough on ads, but that has nothing to do with the computer. They just didn't know how to run a campaign.

                  The woman Bernie endorsed is some fauxgressive neolib.
