    The “Quibi guy” is Jeffrey Katzenberg.

    AKA, the financial brain behind Dreamworks and the chair of Disney during some pretty solid years. He’s a money guy.

    There are 8 people on that campaign board, and he ain’t there to figure out messages, districts, or any of that. He’s there for fundraising.

    Quibi wasn’t famous because it was a silly idea, it was famous because it was a silly idea that Katzenberg raised an ungodly amount of capital for … almost $2 billion. Homie ain’t the ideas guy. Quibi very much confirmed that he’s no Spielberg or Geffen (the creative cofounders for Dreamworks.) But fuck if he isn’t one of the best fundraisers in the business.

    Biden’s campaign has had double Trump’s cash on hand.

      I said he’s good at that…

      But that’s not all he’s doing

      It’s like you read my comment, ignored what it said, and repeated it back…

      Biden’s campaign has had double Trump’s cash on hand.

      And it cost Biden twice per vote what it cost trump in 2016… Biden’s the first president in the history of the US to spend 1 billion on a campaign, and he was 30k close to losing.

      And Biden’s polling is worse now

      Either we need a lot more money, or we can stop running geriatric candidates no one wants to be president

        I guess my main point is that his campaign board has a pile of people. It looks like they’re actually up to a dozen or so. This guy is not the manager, deputy manager, strategist, etc. He’s a “co-chair,” which is the title given to everyone who isn’t driving the campaign. The campaign is being driven by former Biden, Obama, and Warnock folks.

        You’re alluding to “Quibi bad = Biden campaign bad,” but that’s kind of a silly argument.
