I'm considering running for political office in the US. (monero.town)

There's many political offices. I think lower level is better for influence and effectiveness and less selling out. Less awful.

What I'm here to try to figure out is how much support would I get? I know this isn't a perfect indicator. Everything is with salt.

I promise I won't make things in life worse. I will make things better for monero.

This would most likely be a waste of time. The state is configured in such a way to resist any change and continue the status quo so everyone of your peers there would be fighting you.

It is much better to build systems, communities, and technology which render the state irrelevant. Ultimately the state is a mafia and it exists for its own benefit at the expense of everyone else, so joining this and trying to rearrange some tables and chairs will accomplish nothing for freedom.
