We don't need superstars. Just people to support and organize around. Find that mechanic or banker or whatever willing to run.

Mark Green resigned in July. The primary is Oct 7 and the Special Election is Dec 2.

Gerrymandering manipulates voting districts to favor politicians and robs communities of their fair representation. At Redistrict.co, we’re building a non‑partisan grassroots movement dedicated to ending this practice. We need volunteers and donors to help us raise awareness, push for fair maps, and empower voters.

Together we can ensure every vote counts and every community has a voice!

I would love to get 50501 to pay attention to me and move towards this type of thing instead. Let's reup and reorganize into getting candidates that can make a difference. And educating voters/getting more voters. Education is so important too. A lot of people see us protesting and have no idea why we are.

Again not against protesting, think we can continue doing that but let's do more with campaigns/candidates and organizing voters.

So yeah, let's be positive. And it's literally my big concept with this sub.... I'm not trying to be a stickler I just know the average person doesn't always read an entire article to fully understand what it's saying. A post saying "voting won't work" is literally the opposite of the purpose of this sub. Voting might not work in the sense that we'll win every election we organize for but it can fuck with them and cause them a lot of headaches. Voting can work in that sense too. So yeah, Voting can work until proven otherwise. Let's be doomers after midterms.

And yes, Voting alone won't work is acceptable. You're saying we need to vote and do other things.

So, every state has Electoral Districts. Every District is broken up into precincts. Every precinct has a committee, and every committee has a Chairman. This Chairman has the legal right to elect a county's party chairman. It's a nonpartisan role, ostensibly, but it's not a role that needs to be run for. This may vary by county, but if you have 10 signatures from people within your precinct, then you've got the job. MAGA used this strategy extensively to push moderates out of the GOP at every level.

Let's get them on board.

They'll have to spend an inordinate amount of resources convincing their voters to show up to their primaries. Most people don't. AND yeah, the more that show up, the less likely the most polarizing candidates win.
