Agreed. So let’s do something about it, let’s pass the anti corruption act, by only voting for politicians who are committed to passing it #roam. Ask all of yours to do so

Real change “could” happen with some pressure on purple state senators and congresspeople, but that pressure would have to come from non democrats. It’s the moderates we need to reach. They decide every election

Don’t stigmatize ketamine if you don’t understand it. I expect more from you Mr “they didn’t actually make a dire wolf”…. Do some research before you stigmatize a medical treatment that can actually cure treatment-resistant depression. It’s irresponsible.

We need to be telling Reps and Senators that they WILL be losing their jobs in 2026 if they don’t act NOW.

Voting in 2026 is too far away. We need to rein in this administration NOW. Which I think can only mean pressing directly on congress HARD.

So the next question is… who is going to organize this? The FWD party? Represent US? We need someone who has a PAC structure already in place and we need to start NOW. / end

Because politicians are shrewd… once we call upon them to stand up and vote the way we want and see we are raising money to primary them if they don’t… many will adopt our position to earn our support instead of having us back their opponent. 6/

That answer is YES! A non-partisan movement that includes non-maga GOP and members of the left in heavily red states CAN Absolutley get behind a moderate non-maga centrist republican. But here is the best part… we might only need to actually run a couple of candidates 5/

So he real question is: how do we provide incentive for GOP congress and senate to reclaim congress’s power? WE PRIMARY THEM IF THEY DONT.
But wait… can WE primary them??? 4/

Trumps autocracy is only possible because congress is allowing it. If they had incentive to stand up to him, they would, and the tariffs, the abandonment of Ukraine, doge, all of the craziness would end. Trump would be neutered.. we just need to provide incentive for GOP senators to stand up. 3/

The autocratic behavior we are seeing comes from the collapse of our party system into a cult… but it’s a minority cult, and a large fraction are motivated not by love for trump but by spite for the other side. Most important, crossing that cult is currently suicide for GOP senators and reps.

Elon: doge is popular and I’m cool
Me: @grok what do people think of doge and Elon?
Grok: Doge has 30% approval, and Elon is creeping out 98% of Americans and 69% of cyborgs.

Public services operate at cost or at a loss. Private sector has to charge much more to provide return to investors. If there is inefficiency lost in the middle, it’s still a better service being public, and if not, a good review can fix it.

What was his line about being a free speech absolutist or some such nonsense?

Are they actually calling for real reform and pledging to change things like campaign finance and gerrymandering? Or are they just raising money for themselves?

If we don’t fix the system the fascists will just be back stronger next time. We have seen how vulnerable and twisted our democracy truly is… it needs the fundamental changes contained in the anti-corruption act.

Apathy is understandable when you don’t think you have any real alternatives. THAT is why I think #ROAM is going to wake up America’s moderates: it’s a simple clear path to ensuring actual change. youtu.be/JjlTiny8waY

#ROAM is the one thing we can do where we have REAL power. representative can ignore protests or us screaming at town halls... they can't ignore us at the ballot box... so we NEED to organize around where our power really is if we actually want change: youtu.be/JjlTiny8waY
