78. Well is that what they are all getting paid to do? Handle the money? Or to work on projects?

The thing that's dumb about this article, among many things, is that it doesn't bother to show a comparison of output from fledgling organizations on average, or a range of outputs depending on long-term versus short-term goals...which admittedly would be hard...but

they are making assertions that they are pulling presumably out of thin air, about what exactly should be produced by this time, and they aren't even getting into how long the things the team did produce might have taken in research and composition. That seems entirely absent in their piece. They didn't say "and it's one page with bullet points..." They just said the organization has only done a couple of things that its made public. and then it says this, without at all bothering to account for man hours...


"The most significant original report The Sanders Institute has been involved with advocated for Medicare For All, and was completed in conjunction with the National Nurses United (NNU), a labor union that threw its support behind Sanders’ presidential bid. Sanders Institute fellow Michael Lighty, as well as Jane Sanders and Driscoll, helped draft the report, which was funded by NNU"


Also, don't you find anything astonishingly disingenuous about calling a fledgling organization like Our Revolution's results mixed, when by the articles own admission Our Revolution has around a 50 percent success rate? Is that mixed success really? Heh...yeah, technically. But nobody would say that shit if a new Baseball team were created and it went 500 in its first couple seasons. Especially if it were playing without cleats and mitts. The article also seems to simply want to talk shit. VTDIGGER is never focused. it just throws everything at the wall that is disparaging of Sanders. Why is the Our Revolution stuff even in this piece?
