peteseeger
Remember that ad where he threw a rock into a lake and then stared into the camera unblinking for two minutes? I desperately want shit like that back
That account, along with his whole campaign, is the work of three teenagers.
From the article:
“These young students contacted me a week ago asking would I run for president and I responded to them saying, ‘Do you realize how old I am?’” Gravel told The Washington Post. “I’ll be 89 years old in May, so it’s preposterous to think that I could serve as president.”
It took some convincing, but Gravel was ultimately persuaded by a three-page strategy memo that the students drafted and their assurance that they would handle all of the day-to-day work of the campaign. Their ultimate goal wasn’t to win the election but rather to qualify him for the Democratic debates, so that he could use that platform to “issue a critique of American militarism, plutocracy, and inaction on climate,” as his newly-created website states.
“These people weren’t just whistling Dixie,” Gravel said. “They were well-grounded.”
Managing the campaign are David Oks, 17, and Henry Williams, 18. Elijah Emery, 18, handles the finances.
Incredible…
Well, that’s *one* way to get into politics while still in high school. TAKE GOOD NOTES FOR YOUR OWN FUTURE CAMPAIGNS!
So you’re telling me the latest Democratic candidate is literally three teenagers in a trench coat?
