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.
