95. I agree with you

Feb 2020

How a candidate treats his/her staff is pretty important to me, because it says a lot about who they are as a person and how genuine they are in fighting for workers' rights. This is a turn-off about Amy for me, but since it seems there's been little turnover or turmoil on her campaign staff so far, I'm hoping she's taken the criticism to heart and things have changed. FWIW, I also read testimonials from other people who worked for her in the past that were much more positive. But I agree with you that it is a legitimate thing to care about.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
