That's better for the campaign organization that will be left over when the campaign is over, because too often a campaign, especially presidential campaigns. you wind up, whether you win or lose, it's still just an empty parking lot full of garbage, right, that the carnival left town.

And also, it helps that you are most able to do that by doing it the right way. I like the metaphor of parking

There are a few actors that are the worst, but unfortunately, it's quite prevalent. There's very few of us, like Blue State, who are not engaged in these practices and trying to help campaigns build for the long term, build the right way. Campaigns and organizations and party committees and things like that. I would give the campaigns that you care about the feedback when they are...

You could report out the worst actors on a campaign basis. You could go do the investigation to find out what vendors they're paying that result in these massive spikes in complaints.
