It’s less incompetence and more graft. They have to run the campaigns the way they do because that allows them to launder as much money as physically possible. To put as much of those donations into their own pockets. There’s a reason the Harris campaign was run the way it was. There’s a reason that they shoved Tim Walz into the closet. Couldn’t do anything to risk offending all the big Tech bro billionaires and huge corporate donors.
