No, you're right, I'm sorry. I shouldn't encourage people to run for office. It's like encouraging people to become meat packers or immigration attorneys. Lots of stress, and a job most people would find too difficult and unpleasant. But you live in a democracy (alleged)--what else are you supposed to do?

No, I think it largely is through volunteering and running better, more progressive candidates in primaries. I think that needs to be done in house races and in senate races and in every other downballot race - regardless of Bernie Sanders or not.

But my point is, you know, America is not in this situation because the left has had insufficient self-confidence. It's not like all we needed was a little moxy, a little vim and vigor, a little self-belief, and hey presto, everything's better! We're in this situation for a lot of reasons, and you can't wish shit like the extremely conservative beliefs of much of the country or the profound corruption of our political system away.

Also I am legitimately terrified of electing another Republican president as a result of which I am very leery about taking risks regarding the Presidential race specifically.

well, ohio is voting on measures today that address gerrymandering in the state, a major step forward in general.

the problem is that democracy as a whole on the federal and state level has been undermined considerably by external money, lobbyists, and 1%ers. not that we're in some sort of monstrous hellscape yet, but what the system is supposed to be has been altered considerably to benefit a narrow slice of the few.

and the few have made it functionally impossible to punch upwards through conventional methods. say bernie wins - bernie is in a grandfathered position to even try because he's been around since before this got really bad. bernie can't do much.

hillary won't do much because it affects her future and bottom line. she's not hell incarnate, but her vested interests are not necessarily what mainstream america really needs.

trump is laughable and carson is insane.

and yet nothing can take this over. nothing can punch up without a MAJOR industry backing, which even Obama had when he swept into Hillary's pole position years ago.

the problem is fundamental and buried deep in the system.
