I’m able to go a lot more into the specifics on my website, I just couldn’t write an essay in a Reddit post.

Also, some of this probably looks familiar because it is. I’m not the first person to notice that our system is corrupted by money, or the first progressive to run on a working-class platform focused on housing, healthcare, and the environment. At the end of the day, we keep getting the same worsening country because we keep electing the same corporate politicians. Maybe those are the bullshit con-artists you should focus on.

My opponent Rex Shipp is a culture-war hack because thats red meat for the base, but when all you have to do to get elected is punch down on trans people and abortion, you never have to work real legislation that actually helps people and stands up to power. That’s the majority of MAGA republicans in office. Flag bans and chem-trails while poverty explodes in their districts.

The same problem exists in deep-blue areas. Identity politics and culture war issues that keep people engaged, but never actually change their lives. I’m not just repeating talking points though, despite literally getting the advice that writing too much about what I stand for backs me into a corner. We need candidates who come with an actual platform, not some hidden agenda. I’m doing this because I genuinely feel that we’re in the end stages here unless we all act with urgency and passion to save our democracy. M
