Shortly before the American streamer was detained by U.S. border officials and questioned about his political beliefs, he spoke with Madeline Sherratt about his frustrations with the Trump administration — and the weak attempts by Democrats to hold the president accountable.
Definitely. No office should be more important than your local office. They are the only ones who will ever have an actual interest in representing you.
Even if you are someone like myself who wouldn’t make a good actual candidate for a highly public office. Because of the stress and strains of having to mask Etc. Your time and resources can make all the difference to those local offices.
There’s no better way to accomplish nothing, then waiting around for the national parties to come to your rescue.
Big fucking facts. It doesn’t have to be all of us, but there are plenty of people I’ve talked to in my conversations that do have a grasp on politics and probably COULD convince people that they were better than the two parties. If there was ever a time to start running as republicans in deep red districts and just talking about socialist policies its now. People have no idea what politics are anymore.
For example: I’m a centrist, I believe in universal Healthcare and a jobs guarantee, I want a 90% tax rate on corporations, and social security should be funded from the age of 50 for all Americans. It’s really easy. Words dont mean anything anymore. Tell your people what they want to hear and then get in office and fuck shit up. If fascists could do it why cant you?
As an anarchist. I’d say that doesn’t go far enough. But it is absolutely a good start. I’m all for doing it. So long as we don’t stop there. Because that would only really reset things to something like they were a hundred years ago. But it wouldn’t stop everything that’s happened since then from happening again. We gotta start with what’s achievable first. That’s what matters.
