He's not wrong about self dealing. Seeing the benefits of an app in 2016 almost certainly led to the creation and adoption of this new app.

You're dealing with volunteers. You can provide them with training, but ultimately they have to choose to take it up.

I don't disagree. But I don't feel that is the main issue at play here.

right, but that was them trying to make shyt more seamless, efficient and transparent, changes in response to previous criticism. so yea, it failed due to a shytty app, but it's weird to blame them for trying something new as a response to previous issues people had with the process. new things struggle the first time around every day

The app they insisted on using is fukking up

They are being rightly criticized

What is so "weird" about that?

I was just thinking this after my previous post but didn't want to have a stream of consciousness on here.

The fact these are past campaign staffers now being responsible and being paid to develop an app for the Democratic caucuses is an example of a revolving door of "Self-dealing" as mentioned. Not being naive in acknowledging that favors and handouts happen because of who you know but there should be a higher standard of deciding who is in charge of some a vital operation such as this. Granted, this is part speculation and I don't know enough to say that is 100% sure what happen but its not a good look.

For the person asking for the NY Times article, give me a few and I'll screen cap it and post it.
