(37,597 posts)Are you attending regular meetings? We also have a borough committee for my tiny 4500 person town. I attend both. That's how you make changes.
Register as a Democratic.
Attend.
Get on the nominating and endorsements committee.
Lead from within.
Open your home up to a district Action group or an Indivisible meeting.
I guess because of where I live (blue dot in a bright red district in the North East) I don't see this 'shambles'. This is a HUGE year in NJ and we don't have time for any nonsense. From Governor down to borough council we have a lot of work cut out for us. We've also got Leonard Lance on the run, and Booker and Menendez carrying water for us.
I'm just not seeing the 'shambles'. I predict NJ is going to be an absolute blood bath for Republicans this year - and I think Virginia has a few tricks up its sleeves too. How about before we go down the path of 'we are abject failure's folks let us completely repudiate and give Trump Co a voting 'figurative' punch in the nose first?
We are gonna get evil - and that's a good thing. Sooooo evil no other state/district can copy us -but we see it working in the way Lance voted and how he had to compromise (you take this one and I'll take another) with the 11th District Republican.
A national 'platform' won't work in a place where people smile sunnily at the convenience store at each other and say it's a 'nice fucking day isn't it?!?'. <--- And it's really really positive too!
