The last few days, I have been thinking about the “No one is going to save us” bit. We have to save ourselves.
But what can we do? Clearly, this is where voting got us. It is time for us to seek out those government positions.
But how? I am lucky to live in a very blue state. But my congressman is one of the Dems that just rolled over instead of shutting down the aweful budget.
So where can we find information on running against them? How do we recreate what AOC did in her district? How do we lead instead of sit back and wait for someone else to step up?
Do we form a new party and let the Dems die? Let’s start the conversation beyond just “VOTE!”. We need to BE THE LEADERS. Can anyone lay out the process for running for a federal office?

State level electoral reform and starting new political parties is the only non violent way forward. The democrats don’t need to die for us to be able to vote outside the two party system without a spoiler effect.

if your senator filled over it’s time for you to organize and HOUND THEM.
it starts with you contacting your like minded people and have a game plan ready to go:
senators name, phone #, email, x, blue sky accounts and a statement saying something like:
you fucking twatwaffle we are your constituents and you represent us, your actions on this matter is proof that you no longer do so, so we are going to replace you.
find out how to recall, find out how to petition (what gets the state legislature involved)
buy a firearm and take training classes
start there.
I have had similar thoughts recently, and found this resource.
