can I please get off the no-merry-go-round? I'm starting to get dizzy!
Be a part of that change. Run for local office and or encourage other progressives around you to do the same
Change quite often starts locally and flows up. Those in the national party very usually come from state offices and work their way up. Make that pool of people as progressive as possible
Make no seat uncontested
Organize in every place you can. Beyond just elections, organize for unions, organize to protest, organize to stand with your community, do not given in to the complacency that the far right wants you to have
Power is not be given freely, you have to fight for it. That fight lives on and is worthwhile. Things will get worse before they can get better. But we can lay the groundwork for the future to be better
Too bad I don't have the temperament to be in local government. I'll start flipping tables.
honestly the left needs more table flipping candidates.
There is a large, young population that are progressive and angry. They want to see that reflected in the people they elect. They want to see passion in leaders that will end with positive changes. Yet instead we get milquetoast, bland middle of the road candidates that are not inspiring or interesting.
This is an example of what I am talking about
If Trump can bully his way to be president, I'm sure flipping tables as such is completely inconsequential
Only if it was for putting guns with bibles on them in school.
Democrats would clutch their pearls and call me unelectable.
Yeah, I suppose the Democratic Party wouldn't see the star in the table flipper
This sounds like a solid plan! It will for sure be a uphill battle where I live. (MT)
No, now eat your damn dirt soup and be happy about it.
You can get off the carousel when it shatters into a million deadly fragments of shrapnel.
Rollin til the wheels fall off!
