It's just thought in my head that's been running around that I should do something, no idea how far I could even get. This more of an excuse to talk about running

Blue wave happened, but it seems like corporate Dems are the obstacle instead of fascist Republicans. So there's still work to be done.

Panhandle of Florida is so red that I think Democrats running barely find the motivation to run in the elections because they lose decisively and consistently, but I'm convinced that I could do better. I could run for house of representatives position or county commissioner position, I feel like running for those positions.

Seems like if I could get the signatures needed to get my name on the ballot for free then I can ramp up the campaign. I'd testing the connections I have made with my activism.

Angie Nixon going from nobody with no backing to 48% of the votes in the general has been inspiration and I probably could help her out and get the 200k votes she would need to win in 2028.

Yes. And do it in the GOP. Make them debate communism in the primary.

    I actually thought about ZOHRAN Mamdani style infiltration into the local republican chapter. I haven't gone to Republican chapter because they will freak out over me being a DSA member

  • if you've got an SRA chapter in your area, bring them as well.

    But if nothing else, showing them actual communists in the GOP might drive some of them to the Democratic side, in a weird way. Or at least cause enough confusion to stop the relentless push to the right by the GOP in red areas.
