I organize rural Dems. I raise money to fund rural Dem nominees. I’m doing the work. My neighbors are doing the work.
If you’re not in the ring getting your ass kicked with me, I’m not listening to your opinion or criticism.

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena…”

Once we elect enough progressives, we can start fixing everything both parties broke over decades!
Imagine no citizens united, unions in every company, living wages, universal healthcare!
In my area of the state, almost every single one of our local elections are R’s running uncontested.
Many of the teachers and nurses voted for 🤡 because he promised money that we don’t have available to us and that we never see from blue politicians and governments.
MO has a problem that will never ever be fixed by Red or Blue. It is much much deeper than that.
The message is that we can have better!
Hello? How the heck do you think you got here in the first place?.
How self obsessed can you be?
@jesspiperfanpage.bsky.social - got your back!

People aren't going to get in the ring with you when your party votes for most things the GOP votes for. It's why the base fell out from under you.
The first protest anyone I talked to remembers EVER happening in rural red Worland Wyoming.
I love seeing the crowds in big cities, but until they get 83 people to gather in places like ours, some 3x Trump voters, I’m not going to believe we’re in the same boat, just the same storm.
People need to be careful thinking they’re doing the hard work🤷🏻♂️
Jess Piper, you inspire me.
The hardest is getting to rural Democrats.
One reason people choose to live in the country: They aren't crazy about visits from people they don't personally know. I know this, because I am one of them.
See research by John Bargh. Converted conservatives to liberals.
Any effort helping the DNC offer support to Congressional Republicans to switch party to Democrat - is a real win
5 people switch - and Democrats can save 🇺🇸
Fight the right battle

I live in a blue city of a blue state.
I vote carefully, but many other actions I can take are going to have far more positive impact when directed out of state rather than right here at home.
Great way to support dems running in rural areas.

Man the booths and passing out information.
Be the one with the petition clipboard.
Making phone calls
Yup, I love our Republic and want for us to keep it.
From phone banking to postcards to protests, they often provide training too.

Act accordingly.
In Texas, anyone not bought by Wilkes and Dunn (two Christian Nationalist billionaires) would be better than what we have in this state.
Then national party will and does ensure that even in local elections the least progressive candidates win.
I note I don't have a realistic no-harm option.
I think ranked-choice voting is one change we really need.
I learn so much from you Jess Piper-thank you!
So... tell me about it. Dems are just beginning to find eachother and organize in north Georgia, but it will be a slog.
An inspiration that is building momentum...

That’s why she can organize at grassroots level & you can’t.
Why aren't they working as hard as you? Why aren't they getting their ass kicked with you?
That's the problem entire with ALL of our politics
None of them work for or listen to us, Jim
NONE OF THEM
It’s way more productive than your fellow citizens who’re berating us for not having enough firearms & ammo to stock a small store.
The dems here on bluesky are what chased me away. They are just Blue MAGA with no desire for better. They just want things as they were. They want the status quo back. Blue no matter who, you know 🤬
Please take a moment to read this then help to spread it far and wide.
You have a right to call any senator not just your own.
Be vocal.
Be visible.
Be disruptive.

Our Republican neighbors are already gone. Whether they believe it or not,
They are fully supporting the USA’s dive into White Nationalist Tyranny.
And Discussion is becoming futile.
Now, Get ready for ICE/Proud Boys shooting multiple immigrants. Any week now.
I’d take some of these people on a field trip to places in Arkansas or northern/western Maine, but I think I’d have to glue their mouths shut & Botox their brows first 😉.
Actually, the left isn't really moving... YOU people are moving right. To the point that youre indistinguishable from Canadian Conservatives. Our mainstream Liberal Party would be way too left for you Center-right Dems.
They can insist on purity tests + lack of negotiation & fail the coalition-building marshmallow test.
Or they can be constructive, learn to listen, & keep nudging people over the long term.
The right succeeded because
