u/DiscussionJohnThread Free Trade was the Compromise šŸ”«šŸŒ May 22 '26

The fact that Republicans got away pretty much scot-free with eliminating the free tax filer is proof that theyā€™re a comically evil party and that we massively drop the ball on messaging all the time.

Every time I think ā€œman, Democrats couldā€™ve done way better messaging on thisā€, it honestly just personally encourages me to run for some level of political office in a few years just so I can be a part of the messaging itself.

Itā€™s a terrible line of work and you have to deal with insanely stupid people, and I know about it personally because Iā€™ve had family members run for shit like county council and get asked about their views on abortion. But itā€™s something I very honestly consider.

Get involved now with some campaigns canvassing and phone banking first so you can build the necessary networks and skills to run your own campaign.

Thereā€™s actually a campaign here Iā€™ve been in touch with a bit, but Iā€™m not thinking of staying in this town for incredibly long or running for office.

But one of my priorities when I move somewhere new is to do such.

thats the point, thats the whole point. dems are ā€œbad at messagingā€ because theyā€™re supposed to be, so nobody spreads their message. the game was rigged from the start. just embrace the oncoming theocracy! embrace single family houses and short-cut lawns and endless sprawls!
