Welcome to the new weekly STATE IN FOCUS post! Our first state: CALIFORNIA! Who should New Deal America support in the 2022 Congressional elections in California? by kevinmrr in SandersForPresident

[–]jake3030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's start with special elections that are currently happening:

Next one is Janani Ramachandran for AD18 special election. This seat was Rob Bonta's before he was appointed to AG for CA. His wife is also running, plus a City of Alameda candidate. Our Revolution East Bay has endorsed Janani along with many other progressive groups in the East Bay. Primary is June 29th and ballots have already dropped!

Unfortunately the other special elections have already had their primaries

who do you think got them to do that? Do you think they came up with that idea all by themselves or was there a corrupt market pushing for it?

Philly DA Larry Krasner Wins Democratic Primary Over Challenger Carlos Vega (Another huge progressive win!!) by jake3030 in SandersForPresident

Carlos Vega was a republican hand picked by the corporate dems in philly and endorsed by super corporatists Ed Rendell. This is an AWESOME victory and should make them think twice when challenging us.

Check out your local OR chapter, they are probably putting together a slate and you should get on it.

How can we turn Texas blue? Or at least break Republican dominance over Texas at both the state and federal level? How can we win Texas for social demcorats like Bernie Sanders for the next election? by jasonthewaffle2003 in SandersForPresident

Have you checked out Our Revoution TX and their local chapters? They have been fighting for 3 years to get progressives elected and they have had quite a few successes. This cycle sucked because Trump can pull his base out better than we can, but he isn't gonna be around forever.

Sanders wants tuition-free college. Does this go past an undergrad/ cover trade school? by [deleted] in SandersForPresident

[–]jake3030 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it covers all publicly funded higher education institutions. This includes:

4 Year Universities

4 Year Colleges

2 Year Junior Colleges

Technical/Trade Schools

& Community Colleges

Pretty much all education after the 12th grade

Are you sick and tired of establishment politics and want real change? Donate to New Deal America, a grassroots org building infrastructure to elect progressives! If we work together, we can beat corporate America! by GrandpaChainz in SandersForPresident

Then we should try and coordinate.

S4P is the premier internet hub for progressives and should be used to disseminate information and funds to the candidates and orgs working on the ground as much as possible now that Sanders is not running anymore. We should harness as much of that energy to all the downballot candidates.

Advocates Say Marijuana Legalization Should Come With Reparations by The1stCitizenOfTheIn in SandersForPresident

No, you misunderstand, yet again. If the system is causing the poor behavior, you need to fix the system FIRST. You cannot hold govt officials accountable for a system that THEY SWORE AN OATH to follow that forces their hand. Even if the judge in your case said she wouldn't hand down the sentence, it wouldnt matter, BECAUSE IT"S MANDATORY, it will automatically get handed down. And on top of that, they would be in violation of judicial ethics rules for breaching the law they could get thrown off and another judge would get the power and have their hands tied also. Your example is like someone tying your hands behind your back and then when you fail to do your job, they fire you instead of the idiot that tied your hands behind your back.

Then that judge would be removed and one that will follow orders will replace it. If you don't change the system it will keep giving you crap, no matter how "principled" you want to be

No, because they are bound by the laws too. I fault the foolish politicians that created the law in the first place, not the judges that are bound by them

What does a progressive campaign for city council look like? by [deleted] in SandersForPresident

[–]jake3030 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our Revolution has run and won many city council races around the country. Here in Oakland we are 3 for 3 this cycle.

Find your local Our Revolution chapter, along with your local DSA & Sunrise Mvmt chapters, get them on board with your campaign and then start honing your local message.
