It’s good for people to get aid, yes. But I feel like what you’d want is a more robust infrastructure at the party level that campaigns could tap into but not have to manage, because people who know how to do that part, do that part.

as we saw with the madness about biden i think a lot of people think we never left tammany hall politics and thinks the reason we don't do it anymore is just weakness, instead of structural changes

The level of condescension that comes with this in the circles I generally run in is quite frustrating. It turns from “X is popular despite being bad” to “X is bad because it is popular” and the people saying it don’t even realize they’re drawing a broader circle.
The NCIS vs Succession problem: one of these is a genuinely popular entertainment franchise and the other one has hundreds of articles written about it
The evidence I use for my friends is to tell them Tracker is the #1 show in the country and not one has ever even heard of it

the reason you get a bunch of these “people thinking about leaving” pieces but then nobody much leaves isn’t sinister imo.
it’s that it’s very very easy to think about moving, but actually moving is an enormous pain in the ass

Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.

I would also be pretty worried about running afoul of campaign finance rules especially if the trend catches on.
Turning campaigns into mutual aid hubs isn’t good for campaigns or mutual aid! Your campaign manager should be entirely too busy to schlep around 5600 tampons!

I’m not an expert in any of this stuff but also campaigns feel like kind of the wrong vehicle for it. People talk all the time about how campaigns wind up parachuting in, doing their thing for a bit, and then disappearing. That’s no kind of way to distribute aid.

This would be an incredible comedy premise though. A friend group realizes that one of them has been using the others for market research for a decade and they were all carefully selected/guided to be representative norms.

For those not following at home, “Heritage American” is a category of white supremacy covering people whose ancestors were white folks who were pioneers.

all the anti-AI folks going "we should ban LLMs but also invest in economic opportunities for human creators" will never invest in the human creators. they might delay the advancement of AI, but they absolutely won't help anyone. they will do nothing but bring misery for a false sense of agency
the thing about people who say we should do x thing instead of y thing is that they never do x thing. sometimes they stop y thing but x thing never happens.
