Wrong. These are campaign volunteers who are organized at the behest of the candidate. Just let it go.

Ahhh, so now you are saying you won't vote for a candidates whose volunteers don't do this? That is not what you said originally. You are changing your story now.

LOL, you've got me now, detective!

You're correct in your assertion, but I haven't changed anything with my argument. Because the candidate has control over who volunteers on their campaigns, and who they appoint to different campaigns. As you so cogently pointed out earlier, the candidate doesn't do all of the work themselves, they have people that they pay as well as people who volunteer their time in support of their candidacy...but in the event that the any of those people fail to meet the standards of conduct set by a campaign, the candidate is responsible for policing those actions. You haven't caught me in a loophole, and I haven't changed my argument friend - I wouldn't vote for a candidate whose volunteers didn't do this, because that candidate is probably terrible at managing the people supposedly working for them - they can't even coordinate volunteers to pick up their own garbage, how are they going to run a government?!

Look, this has been an absolute hoot, but I'm done explaining how electoral politics work. Please ask your civics teacher, or if you're someone who has already gotten beyond the reach of our educational system, volunteer on a campaign. I've done it multiple times over many decades - it's the source of most of this understanding - and it's taught me a lot.

Ohhh your done explaining now? That's very mature of you. Multiple times over multiple decades huh.

You changed your story twice at this point and again you still have not said anything. You seem very ignorant of how things work. What campain did you work on.

Can you cite any candidate who does this statewide? I kinda doubt it.
