    The ā€œQuibi guyā€ is Jeffrey Katzenberg.

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

    There are 8 people on that campaign board, and he ainā€™t there to figure out messages, districts, or any of that. Heā€™s there for fundraising.

    Quibi wasnā€™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 ā€¦ almost $2 billion. Homie ainā€™t the ideas guy. Quibi very much confirmed that heā€™s no Spielberg or Geffen (the creative cofounders for Dreamworks.) But fuck if he isnā€™t one of the best fundraisers in the business.

    Bidenā€™s campaign has had double Trumpā€™s cash on hand.

      Heā€™s a money guy.

      I said heā€™s good at thatā€¦

      But thatā€™s not all heā€™s doing

      Itā€™s like you read my comment, ignored what it said, and repeated it backā€¦

      Bidenā€™s campaign has had double Trumpā€™s cash on hand.

      And it cost Biden twice per vote what it cost trump in 2016ā€¦ Bidenā€™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 Bidenā€™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 theyā€™re actually up to a dozen or so. This guy is not the manager, deputy manager, strategist, etc. Heā€™s a ā€œco-chair,ā€ which is the title given to everyone who isnā€™t driving the campaign. The campaign is being driven by former Biden, Obama, and Warnock folks.

        Youā€™re alluding to ā€œQuibi bad = Biden campaign bad,ā€ but thatā€™s kind of a silly argument.
