    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.

        If Trump can bully his way to be president, I’m sure flipping tables as such is completely inconsequential

          Only if it was for putting guns with bibles on them in school.

          Democrats would clutch their pearls and call me unelectable.

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