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 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.
