Then you you start your climb from there - gaining allies, experience, resume credits, supporters, financiers, and more. You make it to mayor, maybe then state legislature (actually I hope that's where you DO go - to the state legislature. Our lovely Dems have somehow managed to neglect the state governments - and look at the mess we have now! Wisconsin, Florida, Maine, Michigan, Texas, Indiana, Kansas, North Carolina - all republi-CON led, and look what they're doing! Sweet God in Heaven, LOOK WHAT THEY'RE DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have to take those states BACK!!! There aren't enough Democrats in the state legislatures to stop this Neanderthal republi-CON Bronze-Age-mentality crap anymore! It's like a tidal wave of pus-filled, necrotic shit gushing across the country!!!
That's where we really need you!!! Aim high enough where you can make a realistic, practical difference! Don't mount a Presidential campaign where you'll get a few thousand votes and a whole lot of sneers and adverse media coverage that set you back - and set ALL OF US along back with you.
Believe me, we're with you, Harmony Blue! You ARE our future. My kids are both in their early 20s now. We've had discussions like this many times. I've found myself apologizing to them for the mess we couldn't clean up, and telling them it's up to their generation now.
