Hey @davidmdrucker, career campaigner here—would love to talk to you more about why your assumptions are not the experience of most of us in the industry, & are part of why rich white kids have an unfair leg up in political careers.https://twitter.com/davidmdrucker/status/986052803595505666 …
Clearly campaigns shouldn't waste money on things that don't work. But paying more for staff than necessary could put Dems at competitive disadvantage. That's why Repubs in my TL are all for it. I think your argument is better for non-fed races where you can raise soft money

Right. But let's define "necessary." The average organizer salary on a *presidential* campaign is $2800/month...When I started it it was $2300/month. Less on congressionals. And they regularly work upwards of 80-90 hours per week. Do you really think that meets the bar?
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
