6. What I don't understand

Is how anyone here can support someone that treats their staff so poorly.

Staffers are paid absolute shit. They’re often there because they’re young and idealistic and trying to get something on their resume as they’re starting out their career, or before grad school, or during the summers.

I don’t care how important you think your cause is, or how high a standard you think you hold yourself to, or how hard you work. Nothing justifies treating people this way.

For this reason I’ll be looking at others when voting in the primary. Not treating your staff with respect is a dealbreaker for me.
