WFP is probably an easier way to win. The two party system needs to go, but it is still very difficult for third party in most states.

"We organize outside the two parties, and then we recruit and train people-powered candidates up and down the ballot and run them to win."

To add to this, I'd also say we need to acknowledge the things MAGA is right about.

The system is rigged, some people are unethically taking our tax dollars, there is a minority class to blame. It is billionaires and their allies perpetrating these immoral actions for personal gain.

This is incorrect in your article.

"Ocasio-Cortez, 35, will be too young to run in 2028 [for president]"

Hold the line for your constituents. We need you to protect the working class. Letting billionaires steal working class safety nets via tax breaks is disgraceful. Protect the vulnerable people entrusted to your care. Do the honorable thing and hold the line.

Do not kowtow to 47 and his thuggish gang of oligarchs. Do not comply in advance. Support the working class, not the corporate owner class. You and your fellow elected officials are our line of defense. Hold the line.

They might not know *what specifically* is affecting them, though. We may need to help these folks put 2 and 2 together. They might be so disconnected from politics they'll buy whatever non-political excuse is given for budget cuts. Too many people lack curiosity.

Thank you for the context! This was me trying to figure it out, lol. Right before I searched Bluesky.

Make sure they add in a chapter on sexual repression. Any pleasure that isn't derived from the "correct" sources or doesn't make money for the "righteous" people is suspect.

I'm exaggerating, of course, but the societal undertones are there.

I live in the mid-west US Bible Belt. MAGA Christianity relies on making anything outside of their control "other". Add in historical context of US purposefully squashing cultures through slavery or genocide. We have generational stuff we're working through. Being outside "norms" feels dangerous.
