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.

What got us here is for the past 30+ years the Dems have excepted the premise of every Republican argument. Reps: Gov spending is bad so cut social programs. Dems: Yes gov spending is bad, but let's cut other things. We needed someone to say gov spending is good. It grows the economy.

The biggest failure of the Democratic Party over the last 30+ years has been their failure to make a positive case for government services. We need now to promote the idea that the government can improve people's lives.

Taxes are not about paying for stuff. Taxes are not about anyone paying their fair share. Taxes are about wealth distribution. Money is power and billionaires have more power than anyone can be allowed to have in a Democracy. We must eliminate billionaires through taxes.

Elon Musk called farmers who are losing money because of cuts to USAID part of the "parasite class." If the Dems were good at politics they would be running ads with that in every farm-heavy republican congressional district. But if the Dems were good at politics Trump wouldn't have won

When Bill Clinton was elected President he said, "The era of big government is over." And since then the Dems have advocated for less government spending. If the Republicans call for small government and the Dems call for small government, who is making the case for good government?
