indictment of the structure, more so than the individual.
It seems to me that someone who wants to change the way the country works should at least be able to do a little better with how their campaign works and treats it's people. Yes, the work is short term and I think people know that going in. But mistreatment & broken promises? Not acceptable. Again, for someone trying to change the country, changing those aspects of their campaign, where they have much more control, had better be easy.
- nightski 5y agoYang had a large article in politico describing the flaws of the campaign process. [1] https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/10/03/andrew-yang-book-excerpt-campaigning-514967 https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/10/03/andrew-yan...
- ineedasername 5y agoFine-- campaigning is hard, and a bit broken. So is running the country, but on a much much much larger scale. As I said, if a candidate can't do the former without staff mistreatment and broken lies, I'm not optimistic about when they suddenly have to deal with issues many orders of magnitude larger and with less control. The fact that Yang acknowledges the issue doesn't make it better.
