you could start a candidate PAC and legally accept donations. spend it all on food, or if you get lots of donations, hire a trusted friend or family member and pay them a salary. yes this is 100% legal if you report where the money goes

Maybe Hoover or Coolidge but that's a stretch and they were both in exceptional times (and were exceptionally right from an economic perspective). One could make the argument that if Biden were in their circumstances there would be no noticeable difference and I wouldn't argue against it.

Also, Beto sent me a nice postcard asking me to vote him for governor. I am currently weighing my options.

I voted for Joy Diaz because no matter how well a campaign Beto can run, it absolutely won't matter when Republicans will pump radio/TV with "Hell yes we're gonna take your AR rifles."

i saw someone shouting into the void on twitter about wanting to donate money to democrats is there a democrat i can donate to? and some candidate actually found it and was like yes me i'll take your money. the litmus test was whether the candidate would say "joe biden is doing a good job"

in that moment i seriously considered starting a pac, like there are people out there just desperately trying to chuck their money away for nothing, might as well channel that into something more useful like paying my bills

It's simply insane to me that libs can't even conceive of the not well off. Like yeah, I'm doing great too because I own property and didn't lose any income during the pandemic. Anyone in that position was always going to be fine and in fact better than fine, it's all upside. What about anyone without that situation? Surely they're aware people like that must exist but I've never heard any of them talk about how, exactly and in detail, those people live their lives and what material concerns they have and how politics interface with that.

The republicans talk about and to them all the time, not to help them obviously, but instead to point them at some target for their anger. It's literally the basis on which their party builds their political project.

I can't tell if the dems/libs don't acknowledge them out of shame (they have nothing to offer), out of contempt (they are, of course, deplorable), or just because from their urban enclaves they simply don't believe they exist. I've always assumed it was contempt but I'll see things like these tweets and think to them it's like wondering what the Keebler elves talk about at dinner, except it's how poor people manage to stay poor.

I don't actually have numbers but probably the actual working class in service jobs etc are a lot worse off, between inflation and the plague, the richest are better off, and the middle class is probably a wash financially but split culturally between people who value stuff more (cars, boats, vacations etc) who are worse off and people who value work from home and job autonomy who are better. All of this pretty much falls on partisan lines that already existed, but it's mobilizing the right wing petty bourgeoises more because everything always does. Working poor are probably even more alienated from Dem party machines that govern in their local area than ever before, and the liberal petty bourgeoises aren't enough to win on their own
