Regardless of your opinion on AOC, this documentary about how she got elected lays out the steps. IMO it’s how AOC got elected that is the key to fixing America. Americans need to make that happen every single election. Systematic problems need more than 1 presidential term to reverse after all.
Independent local grassroots electoral movement. Dedicated to getting/organizing volunteers, signature gathering, door knocking, everything from getting candidates on the ballot to winning in the election.
Candidate nominations. AOC didn’t sign up, her BIL or someone nominated her and the Grassroots Movement approached her to run.
PRIMARIES. PRIMARIES. PRIMARIES. Target establishment DNCs who clearly have more in common with corporate lobbyists than their own constituents.
Run the numbers game. Only 1/4 of their candidates won. Democrats should face a primary EVERY SINGLE ELECTION.
Saying the primaries are useless cuz the party will still rig them like they used to depresses turnout and like i said, a year deep and ignorance isn’t a good excuse because you’d have heard about it by now if you’re in political spaces like you are now.
If your comment was authentic, you would have asked about the substance not doubled down on what you’re doing is cool.

There’s gonna be issues with 3 and 4. The establishment Dems are not going to allow progressive candidates to succeed if they can help it.
You’re at least a year behind…
And everyday “I didn’t know cuz billionaire owned TV did tell me!” becomes a less and less valid excuse.
Someone has to be completely disengaged from reality and anyone tangentially connected to it at this point to still not understand.
Which a lot of people are…
But very few of them stumble into political communities and then discourage Dema from voting in the Dem primary.
What are you even doing here?
I vote in the primary only to show it doesn’t work. But I still vote.
A passing comment about the established pattern of establishment Dems fucking with the primaries isn’t a discouragement for voting in the primaries.

I didn’t say the primaries are useless.

You:
Do you just not understand what the words you typed meant?
Unfortunately that happens a lot these days
Did you mean “every day” (i.e daily) here, or did you really intend for “everyday” (i.e mundane) instead?
You’re right. Watch the documentary if you haven’t already.
