This poor guy doesn't grasp that the only thing that counts is ability to confirm support and GOTV. No one GOTVs better than churches and Bernie just didn't make any headway there. The 'youth vote' either underperformed or listened to grandmama.
He gets very upset at the end of the video, but it's not really clear who he's mad at.
I think the reason (that this guy doesn't grasp why those "events got cancelled" isn't because of some evil conspiracy, but because the campaign didn't want to pour too much money into a LOSING STATE.
smh!
This guy is particularly piqued because HIS event was cancelled. Nothing happened in NC that the Sanders people didn't know about, and "the DNC" had nothing to do with it. I mean--that's just weird...unless he's accusing Sanders (or his high ranking inner circle) of "colluding with the DNC...? Or "internal corruption....?"
From what I understand, Sanders was paying a large number of his campaign personnel (some said fifteen bucks an hour). I imagine that he paid by the piece in some cases--not all of his people are full time with benefits, that would cost the earth--i.e., a three hour event gets, per person, fifteen bucks times 3, or maybe 4, for set up/break down--this might have been nothing more than a cost - cutting matter, a "bang for the buck" issue.
If I were working for a campaign that showed polling in the toilet in a particular state, I'd pull out, tell my temp workers "Thanks for your help, here's your final check," and allocate those resources to a state that had a more hopeful set of numbers.
