Link. It speaks for itself, hence no excerpt. And I say that while knowing MN5 Rep. Omar's spouse is also her contracting consultant. Somehow I am more accepting of the Omar marriage situation than Murphy's, and it is something I feel but cannot logically explain.

My mind reflects back to 2020 and the Iowa caucus SNAFU where who was who in the messup may have been fudged over, and then now, McGowan did not push Harris over the finish line as other than second highest vote getter in 2024.
Who am I to judge? One voter, one vote, and I did back Harris in hopes she'd win, being the not-Trump. It was unclear where she was on real substance and the issues Bernie is clear about, but it was brought home - she was not Trump.
I admit to letting a feeling or uneasiness here, with Murphey and his consultant where logically, who's to say?
I did not like the Mayor Pete ending up atop the Iowa caucus results, but have no evidence nor grounds to say there was anything unfair in how things then shook out.
I was and remain unhappy over the short Mayor Pete and Sen. Klobuchar stub campaigns unfolded on the eve of the South Carolina primary election coincidentally with Clyburn endorsing Biden. As if planned to so fold, but to run before that with an aim to stymie Bernie and Warren in their effort then.
As if an ambush of progressives that, in hindsight, circuitously brought Trump a staggared second term. I hold a lingering distaste for what was done.
Where is Tom Perez these days? I wonder about how the door revolved for him.
But I don't care enough about it to try to pin his current status down by researching it. Go figure.

Archived, and the "See Some Of Our Work" toggle seems to link over.
FURTHER: The DC consultant class has its faults in how it operates. There was plenty of Trump warnings, but little of why Harris was a top notch choice. She really wasn't. It was anti-Trump being the sell, not what a Dem win would mean for the people. It was selling more of the same.
Wall Stree donors, Hollywood donors, Silicon Valley donors - the contest was there, with Trump and Harris each netted to a cash basis. It was ugly. Bloomberg's ton of money against Bernie. AIPAC at play. Meanwhile, the people, fuck 'em, who cares?
Bernie and AOC on tour against oligarchy drew sincere crowds. Who cares?
A candidacy is get me consultants, let the good times roll. And we got Trump, getting even with the world over personal grievances. Not how to run a nation. How to run a cabal and pump out courageousness.
___________UPDATE__________
Consistent with preceding text, the video embedded in this item.
It is yet another gotcha thing, likely the team discussed wording, and approved.
It says nothing positive about what people crave and how desires can be met. It throws another stone. It plays indirectly on fear mongering, with finger pointing.
What is the HK vision for me and others? Is there one, or is it someone else's job, the vision thing?
