I also wonder if the left has any mode of candidate leverage other than 'do what I say or I'll threaten not to vote for you.'
Like yeah, that's a stick.
It is very definitely not the only tool in, for example, the Republican repertoire.
'I'll threaten not to vote for you, loudly and on social media' is intended to demonstrate and increase political influence.
What other skills of political influence can we imagine, and might some of them be critically important and I daresay more useful
