FeedsReplying to a comment on Fake Endorsement Charade Continues; Threatens Legitimacy of New PDA Chapter
And that is the whole point of why the issue about conflict of interest is relevant and why polices and the importance of steering clear of such conflicts is so important in the Democratic (big or small d versions) is so crucial.
For all I or anyone knows, Liz's intentions and motives may be 100% pure and clean. But her actions and lack of judgment in not realizing or knowing what she was doing have tainted the entire process. For all we know she may have filtered who got notification, intentionally gamed the system, etc. She may not have tried to do anything along those lines, but she may very well have. Which is why rules and polices exist, to mitigate that.
But this points to larger judgment issues of the campaign itself. Jake and Steve should have known better and speaks to their poor judgment. A endorsement invitation form his own employee a the coordinator of said groups endorsement should have sent off an alarm bell which in the Merkley campaign would have cost her the job in the campaign, bodes ill (seriously ill) for either being out of their league, or they actual ethics.
I have up to this point refrained form going negative against Novick or his campaign, but this is a red flag people. It may be a relatively minor incident, but it speaks to a much more serious an issue of lack of judgment (at best) or an ethical deficiency (the more damning) neither of which are good.
