    I mean, we all knew what this campaign was gonna look like.

    He appointed Jamie Harrison as the DNC chair, someone that appeared out of nowhere to checks notes lose to Lindsey Graham despite getting record breaking donations…

    I mean seriously, dude raised $57,000,000 dollars but couldn’t beat Lindsey Graham so Biden put him in charge of the DNC.

    And he’s got a “media mogul” named Jeffrey Kazenberg as a campaign co-chair. His bonafides involve access to celebrities and bundling donations from millionaires.

    It’s not like the actual campaign manager knows better, this is the first time she’s been a campaign manager, so it’s good she used such a low stakes campaign as her springboard.

    And that last link covers the rest of the team as well.

    But when people keep wondering “who the fuck is making these calls?”

    It’s those people handpicked by Biden, and they’re fucking up a very important campaign and refusing to listen to any feedback that doesn’t come from the incredibly wealthy.

      Some valid criticism here, but in fairness to the campaign manager, you make it sound like she was pulled off the street when:

      but she served as the deputy campaign manager on Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ last campaign and is close with the president.

      Devastating facts, I actually wasn’t aware of Kazenberg. Damn. Most important election of our lives though folks. Promises to keep, to the donor class.
