It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

...IF WE WANT IT BAD ENOUGH!
People who don't trust oligarch-owned media, people who have never taken big-money, people who are willing to own no stocks, people with a net-worth
That's really how it works (in practice).
Early fundraising leads to more fundraising throughout a campaign.
There's no element of "redistribution" when it comes to funding different campaigns. Maybe there should be though
Complaining will get us nowhere.

Democratic Candidates with great ideas and real American values need help.
to run for office, you need to fundraise, and it's hard to do that with regular ass people. but you know that. you gotta cozy up w the rich
All it cost me was time talking to the people I already know here.
You can win a lot of local and even some state leg offices this way.
Is still young.
After that, I gave him money
I also told all my family and friends about him
He was the 1st muslim mayor in Tarrant county
So - that is an effective way
Get a petition
Get dems list in your town
Visit their doors
And while doing that volunteer.
Except for some of the smallest offices it takes money for the party to support candidates.
You could run for local office if you want to see change. Work your way up. Be the change you want to see.
Rebuild a democracy as it is meant to be.

Nazis didn't even disrespect my heritage till maga got involved! Christian nationalism is a lie!
A lot of local positions are non-partisan, which means you don't have to tell anyone if you associate with a party. Just put your ideas out there and see how they like them.
Still a good way of getting experience & a reputation for getting things done.
You can't win if you don't try.

Sack up. Run for something. She's proof it can work.
Look, the most blue areas are international ports. You can overlay it over a blue vote heat map, and they line up.
Move just 10 miles outside city limits, and it takes a shit.
Also, remove geriatricmandering. (I meant to spell it like that.)
The only thing stopping me and likely others is the massive uncertainty of how to do that, what to expect, and what kind of paths we should be looking for.
Where we can find opportunities, how we can network, and how to present our arguments coherently.
Seems like a good starting place
Volunteering and activism is fr one of the best ways to take a step into campaigning, network among likeminded activists, and get a way better understanding of the needs of your community
And they should never have an easy fight ever.
DT forfeited his presidency when he handed over to ketamine Musk
Remember, to win, it’s > to be nice to people in person, than change laws that help em. The average person won’t follow your political work.
I live in a deep red rural county so I would run as an independent.
But I’m more left than current democrats so I really am an independent.
Is it 80-20? 70-30? 60-40? Closer?
It's a starting point. It's exactly how the red team built themselves up from nothing, back when the "solid south" was solid Blue.
So very, very few would vote for anyone with a D next to their name.

The time for decorum is OVER!!
So please, tell Ayanna to run against Markey
Tbh, I hate watching this country tear people apart for money.
I know I could be good but I don't think I have the heart for it.
There's so much that needs accomplished and it feels like noone buys into hope.
Employees. This is just utter bullshit.
It takes an amazingly brave human to run for any office and we found some!
we don't need to cater to people who view marginalized communities as bargaining chips & acceptable sacrifices on the altar of virtue signaling.
And if you don’t like what the party organization is doing, run for a position in the party
Sorry buddy, but your clarification is still ignorant & defeatist
That’s how everyone starts

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is talking about running for local offices. You can't build out the top of the party without starting at the bottom.
Plus there's various groups who help fund the campaign. Especially women
You can do it! It's not as scary as it seems, you just have to be passionate enough to do the work
If you see this, please share.
The sand under our feet has just begun firming up. This is only the beginning!
Thanks for helping unite us and normalcy in America.
We appreciate it!!!

Let's reverse Curtis Yarvin's nonsense that keeps being parroted by these "conservative" white males afraid of: #DEI
Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.
It's about removing barriers for ALL and not just SOME. Thanks AOC 👏
Election nerds are so hot right now, lol

also, pay your membership dues to your local party hq
Everyone I know who'd be good at it has too many skeletons in their closet. Even if they're prop skeletons, it's close enough to a problem. Oppo doesn't care if it's TRUE.
just WOW
the person who is not the leader of DOGE or has any power in government just ordered every federal employee to respond to an e-mail by MONDAY or be fired

It's the Dems little piggy bank.
But not for long, so you better hurry.
Wokism...is dead.
Were done.
Trump getting elected proves it.
All you and the rest of your 40 watt followers don't get that yet
we' ll succeed but we're not giving up. Best wishes to you for a happy life.
Just saying
So..the 40 watt comment...proves my point exactly
With the way the left acts..in combination with all the fraud that's going to be exposed in DC...trump will probably have 85+ million.
Liberals are their own worst enemies..
trolling blue hats. Hes def in the wrong lane here, lol.
My dad did it for years
His neighbors would call him at all hours just bitching
Get a special phone just for that
Seriously
You are gonna be great!!!
Our BEST hope is to REQUIRE ALL Elected Officials have an I.Q. OVER 100 (100=avg). UNTIL WE do so, we are FUCKED. WTP deserve BETTER QUALIFICATIONS NOW! ✌️
Full. Court. Press.

He however cannot nationalize state guard units, food for thought
It's also a good way of getting help for the people being cut from their positions by Musk.
Offer to transfer and they keep their rank and pay
The military firing squad refused!! "Nedev was our commandant. Nedev was good to us." My grandfather was then emprisoned in Belene, a hard-labor concentration camp.
The special police units and fake cops will however
But not the miitary regardless who their generals are
Otherwise, I don't know how to help, but I like Coursera.

Start with them
Start with the dem women
I have watched both my parents
they applied and then they campaigned
Knocking on the LEFT doors is the game
Then we need ethical and independent thinking people. These folks won't take bribes from the Democratic and Republican parties.
But we need you folks in positions of power to influence the little guy
We need inspiration to keep going. Hope.
Feel free to elect me for whatever.
That said, you can attend a RFS event anyway. You’ll pick up info and be inspired.
You can also reach out to local Dem party. Tell them you want to run, they can help with best fit. And don’t forget about grassroots groups. Find local https://indivisible.org
This is an especially opportune moment to make up for lost time, the right is handing us political capital hand over fist. Let’s use it. Immediately.
Please get out and run as they put nationalists at the low levels to support their agenda
@aoc.bsky.social what about a webinar to show folks how this is done?
I'd bet more people would if they knew how.
Be like Lauren Underwood.

Politics is just doing law for the voters. So, there's...expectation of your appearance, same as there would be at a law office, say. Perception expectation skews more (appearance-wise) conservative, especially if you run for a higher office.
Politics is perception. The job is to, basically, be the person who can represent—
TLDR yeah, they could be considered. It's not illegal
These old cis hetero men are cramping by style
They're probably buttfuckers in the closet though
Stop with these damn purity tests -

Too center
not center enuf
Just vote blue!

It’s obvious to me, and millions of others, as it happened
Complete Trump Radio Silence
Not One (D) Recount or Audit
Trump Won Every Swing State?
Massive Vote Suppression
Russian Originating Bomb Threats- Only to Swing States
You really think Musk/Trump wouldn’t?
it’s genius from an evil genius perspective
but yes....voting DOES matter
