Never give in to the despair they want you to have. Fight against regression, and fight for progress. If they want to take our rights, make it a fight at every level (lemmy.ml)

I don't want to hold power i don't want to be the one. It's not something I want to do. BUT if the fucking people i choose don't want to do what I ask them to do i guess I will fucking do it my self.

I imagine a lot of people were supporting people in power currently or thinking the people they were electing were more qualified and were trying. The democratic party with their move to the right shows they don't. This inspires people to do it themselves. There is lots of self doubt and reflection in leftists lives. Someone can do it better someone is more experienced, more qualified, deserving or older. Until people drop the ball enough or rage and revolutionary fires are sparked that is when people do things.

I studied politics, and even then I never wanted to run. I just wanted to be a staffer and work on policy and tactics.

I left politics because I felt I couldn't help people, and inter party politics were not something I was interested in. I went back to school so I could help people more directly as a nurse.

I don't think I'm a great candidate, but I feel like I have to do something. No one is coming to save us, we have to so it ourselves.

The democrats are full of people wanting to do the right thing. They thought that since Harris won as VP, she was an easy out. She obviously wasn't.

Do you guys realize they they're trying to turn us against ourselves so that we don't notice that Trump said to not worry about the election months ago? He wasn't even trying in the last couple of weeks. They have been placing election officials for 4 years. They legally cheated with a fuck ton of propaganda coming from Russia.

Don't fall for the trap or I'm going to put you in with the republicans and democrats that sat this one out. You're being stooges.
