@Pineywoozle @CatDragon @benroyce @retech I'm coming out of retirement to run...coming out because only a few of us will do this, because it's hard & potential dangerous, never popular but necessary. I've been in customer service in our family owned business since I've been nine. You cannot please all the people all the time as much as you want to But someone has to try it's never easy but I'm not ready to roll over and give up for the country and the people that I love.We can do better together
@spreadthetruth @CatDragon @benroyce @retech We really can. If you need any art work for your campaign just hit me up. Both the BT’s parents are ill so I can’t do much else but I’m happy to help anyone with graphics.

@Pineywoozle @CatDragon @benroyce @retech thank you so much! So many people promise to get involved or help and then they just can't for whatever reason... Maybe you can look me up under karanforclerk... I'm on Facebook and insta and have a web page and I'll let everybody know in November if I make it

@spreadthetruth @CatDragon @benroyce @retech Will do. Spred the word here now too, cause you never know who has a follower that could vote for you. 🥰

in states where you can vote in primaries outside your party, i encourage such sabotage and vandalism. but this is a sideshow. the main game should be declare your party and contribute
Always vote.
Always vote for the furthest left candidate on the ballot. (Even if you're voting in the opposing primary)
But most of all, always vote. Even if it's a "hold your nose and vote" situation...
We're in the middle, right now, of what happens when people don't.

@ShredderFeeder The thing that really upsets me is that there are so many folks who earnestly believe that we're in the middle of what happens when people on the left vote no matter what, but the reality is that we're in the middle of what happens when people on the right vote no matter what.
That's what we're up against. Willful useful fools for the right.

@isaackuo @ShredderFeeder @benroyce @horqua @scottmiller42 @roknrol @mikelovesbikes @retech The right aren’t abstaining from voting or throwing away their votes because of some concept of purity. If everyone who had shown up for Biden had shown up for Harris, it would be a different world.

@mikelovesbikes @benroyce @retech If you're unaffiliated are you allowed to vote in the Primaries?
@roknrol @mikelovesbikes @benroyce @retech In #wyoming if we are unaffiliated, we literally have nothing but potential ballot issues to vote for in the August primary. If we wish to vote in the August primary, we MUST declare our party by May 18th. We are not allowed to switch parties after the May deadline. We can vote for anyone in the General. Our Secretary of State is a diehard MAGAt and legislature is controlled by Freedom Caucus. We R screwed!

@farbel @A_Minion @retech @benroyce @DonChacale @spreadthetruth
I campaigned strongly during 2014. If one reply sickened me it was 20 year olds declaring ’I don’t do politics’.
I wanted to scream at times ‘do you know how effin government works?’@Clutha @farbel @A_Minion @retech @benroyce @DonChacale @spreadthetruth
"No. But politics does you."

@CStamp Which is why they keep winning.
The right knows he's not really a christian, they just don't care. He drags the world to the right and that's all they care about.
We need to bring that same energy. The "more left" a candidate is the better, even if they're not as far left as you'd like.

@ShredderFeeder I don't think we CAN bring exactly the same energy. For the most part, we actually do care and I think that's inherent.
It's easy to make things worse, but it's difficult to make things better. If all you care about is making things worse for certain "others", there's lots of ways to do that. If you actually want to change things for the better ... well, that's not so simple.

@isaackuo @ShredderFeeder @benroyce @scottmiller42 @roknrol @retech i disagree. You couch the situation in terms of the right vs the left. I see it in terms of the old vs the young. Older voters vote conservatively and consistently because they have the time and desire to lock out change. Younger voters don’t bother. They’re in a hurry and expect immediate results. When they don’t get them they drop out and stop voting.

@horqua What you write is consistent with what I wrote. I did not comment on causes of why people on the right vote no matter what, or why people on the left don't. My commentary was on the downstream effects.
Your commentary on age may be a reason why.

Then we will keep losing.
It's a two-party system, as much as it shouldn't be, it is, and with the 270 to win, until we get rid of the electoral college it's never going to change.
So you have to work from within.
In the primaries, vote as far left as you can. If it came to AOC vs. Hillary Clinton in a primary, I'd vote for AOC every time.
But in the general, I'll vote for the democrat, I no matter who.
it's the only way the world doesn't end soon.

@CStamp @benroyce @horqua @scottmiller42 @roknrol @mikelovesbikes @retech
@ShredderFeeder I absolutely agree with you (and of course @benroyce ) on the necessary strategy.
I'm just saying that we can't accomplish this with the exact same "energy" as what people on the right are doing.
We care about policy. We have earnest internal debates on what the policies should be. What the priorities should be. I don't think that can, or should, be changed.
So we have to find our own way to promote voting.
