lol embarrassing but if you think only republicans have staffers doing their social media then I don't know what to tell you.

The forces that create these outcomes are systemic and can only changed by changing the system itself.

Edit: unless we think this came from the Trump admin? But I don't know how that could be confirmed.

This sounds like the other way around, where staffers are telling Brad what to post since the message starts with “Hi Brad”. That’s embarrassing imo; he sounds like a fuckin meat puppet which honestly tracks for the talking point party.

Yes. Brad's social media manager's copied and pasted the whole thing.

That's what I mean though. They all do this. This is why it's so dumb that people think Gavin Newsom is some hardcore resistance leader. He definitely hired a skilled person to make those posts but beyond that, it's got little to do with him.

My mind went ALEC/Heritage Foundation more than staffers.
