When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Seriously, if you're going to get into politics, you're going to be fighting the Democrats and Republicans both if you're even an inch to the left of Mussolini. And what advantage would you have running as a (D)? In many states there is no plan for outreach, no infrastructure-- gently caress, my county party wasn't even talking to the local college democrat group.

There is no plan for rehabilitating the party's shady as gently caress reputation-- and why would they need to? They know they got the kind of dumbfuck that posts in D&D to support them no matter what, so what difference does it make whether or not you win?

If you're intending to run to grab your own stack, good on you, nothing matters so might as well fleece the rubes just as much as they are. If you're running because you actually think you can take the party over, maybe going back to D&D and staying there would be a good idea.

It's just the assumption that whiter people are more moral, but in a very unquestioning way.

Someone that did this here: this post is absolutely correct. The libs love your fire and your passion for things until you take that half a step left, then you get yeeted into the void

Edit: the best case scenario is you actually get some power. If you do that, you play defense your entire life. Both from centrists trying to take what you've got constantly plus an endless triangulation you have to do on what you can and can't say in public. If you go too far left, then the whole machine turns against you instead of a couple pissers

Fortunately I have my own personal experience as a former county chair who had been banned from better cesspits to inform my opinion.

you wanna run for office? I'm not saying not to. what I am is saying is there is no loving point to doing it as a loving Democrat especially when you have to end endorsing the likes of Joe loving Biden despite no actual evidence that he'd support anything you do.

You wanna waste your time then you're in the right loving party. You expect everyone to line up and blow you for your original idea of changing the system from the inside, you're gonna have a long loving wait.

Edit: mother of gently caress, how in tf can you look at the party's sins of omission and commission both over the past ten years and think they wouldn't gently caress your run. Goddamn, at least anarchists acknowledge history being A Thing and make some attempt to learn from it.
