Stop putting hopes on one figurehead in 2024. That won’t change much. Start organizing locally & stateside. Change literally is happening right now from the bottom up. Change will not come from the federal top first, not for what we want as anti-establishment progressives.
Everything, from our elections, to the anti war movement, to civil liberties & Medicare for all, depends on legislation. That legislation won’t just magically all change with a presidency. In fact, it’s more likely to happen city by city, county by county, state by state. How?
Look at Seattle’s “Fight for 15”. That happened there first. From the city organizing to the state level adoption to spreading to other states. More change happens when PEOPLE get behind these movements on the streets, & DEMAND their electeds listen. If they don’t you don’t Stop.
If you’re just waiting for change to come through the electorate you’re gonna be waiting a long time. Every single legislative & judicial act had people fighting for it on the ground first & that fight started with local communities. Waiting to make change every 4 yrs is not it.
