Well, here's a wild idea.

Look up one Jerry Falwell. He wanted to take over the Republican Party and get them to do what he wanted. He started small and smart. Every local political party, D or R, does small events to make choices. Who is going to be the next county clerk or sheriff? Who is going to be our delegate to the next convention? If the usual attendance was twenty people, Falwell's folks would show up with fifty. Eventually all those county clerks turned into Congress members, and then Senators.

You local Dem committee is probably in shock right now. Fifty new folks coming in could bulldoze them.

Don't patronize me. I'm not a child. I understand my ideals are likely unrealistic and unachievable. I'm not a revolutionary leader, and I don't claim to be. I was just trying to explain my ideal.

I'm saying you could go out and start doing something constructive right now.

Get five registered voters to go with you to your next local Dem event. That's not much of a jump.

And what's your plan?

Omar and AOC won by organizing on the ground.
