If you watch the Bernie/AOC rally vids, that is what he’s trying to inspire. One vid has a nurse from the crowd talking about working 7 days a week, to live, and she frankly says the old people need to retire, calling out both Pelosi and Schumer. She’s right. Conservatives also attending.
Younger people need to compete with and oust the established Dems, like AOC did in her district, or we will never see a fresh approach.
If we still have elections in the upcoming years, it would be fantastic for people like AOC to run for public office all around the nation.
In fact if you are in a position to, I would encourage everyone reading this to take a moment to look up your state’s candidate filing procedures and see how you can try taking an official’s job that they’re not doing. Just because you may not have the millions in funding doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t have a shot at winning.
I have never, ever in my entire life aspired to any sort of political office. I figured I wasn’t well suited to that, I don’t have a law degree, it’s just not for me.
These days that opinion is now “well I couldn’t possibly do a worse job than the ones actually getting elected for this”, so…
Fuck around, and y’all might catch me running for local office soon.
Yes please! And ditto, I too never thought I would/could aspire to run for office but if any positions are up for election near me I will earnestly look into running.
