can I please get off the no-merry-go-round? I'm starting to get dizzy!

Be a part of that change. Run for local office and or encourage other progressives around you to do the same

Change quite often starts locally and flows up. Those in the national party very usually come from state offices and work their way up. Make that pool of people as progressive as possible

Make no seat uncontested

Organize in every place you can. Beyond just elections, organize for unions, organize to protest, organize to stand with your community, do not given in to the complacency that the far right wants you to have

Power is not be given freely, you have to fight for it. That fight lives on and is worthwhile. Things will get worse before they can get better. But we can lay the groundwork for the future to be better

Too bad I don't have the temperament to be in local government. I'll start flipping tables.

honestly the left needs more table flipping candidates.

There is a large, young population that are progressive and angry. They want to see that reflected in the people they elect. They want to see passion in leaders that will end with positive changes. Yet instead we get milquetoast, bland middle of the road candidates that are not inspiring or interesting.

This is an example of what I am talking about

This sounds like a solid plan! It will for sure be a uphill battle where I live. (MT)

You can get off the carousel when it shatters into a million deadly fragments of shrapnel.
