this was probably a dumb idea FACEBOOK LINK CLICK HERE! ALL ACTIVITY ON MY PAGE IMPROVES FACEBOOK ALGORITHM RANKING.  this is me greetings friends. my name is richard wolf. perhaps you've seen me white noise posting in the trimp thread where i like to empty quote bad jokes and defend mark zuckerburg. after two years of watching a racist dumbass campaign for and somehow win the presidency, ive been slowly growing more and more miserable. and then with this whole tax cut thing (and the inevitable slashing of whats left of our social safety net) looming over the horizon ive started to get angry. there was nothing i could do, though. im just loser failson who listens to podcasts while playing video games all day. i had nothing to offer, no unique skills, no special abilities, no connections - nothing. but now ive seen political support for literal child molestor and 2 time state supreme court reject Roy Moore come back into his sails like nothing has happened. this broke my brain entirely nothing matters. literally any rear end in a top hat can run for a political position and win. being under-qualified doesn't matter. being a criminal and a liar doesn't matter. hell you can be completely and totally unlikable seems to be a positive in a lot of peoples minds. there's nothing that can stop me from at least giving it a shot. so i asked my father for enough money to get on my state house of representatives ballot and just went for it. and now im doing what i do best (?) and talking about it on the internet. The District im in the campaign for texas house district 63 against republican Tan Parker as you can see from that link, Tanny Boy has gone uncontested since 2014. his last democratic challenger got slightly less than 15% of the vote. my district is best characterized as a combination of rural farmland and wealthy DFW suburbanites. even though the demographics and voting history of this area go strongly against any democratic candidate - especially a young 20 something lefty college dropout - i am definitely 100% sure that i could win this election in a 20+ point landslide. lol The Opponent tan parker is an rear end in a top hat, plain and simple. he is currently the chairman of the texas house of representatives republican caucus so every vile piece of legislation that flows out of there has his fingers on it. otherwise he seems to try and keep a low profile. the biggest legislative knocks against him are his interests in 1. cutting taxes and liabilities for private / charter schools, taking money out of the public school system. 2. being extremely anti-union in a state where union membership is already very low. here's a bill to make it more difficult for teachers and other public employees to contribute to workers organizations. it does include an exception for police officers though. and this bizarre one which makes it so that minors need parental permission to join an organized labor union. and 3. his strong anti-abortion stance. though he did recently get into a bit of controversy by prioritizing a bill to give nascar free money over some anti abortion legislation which was funny. he is also a member of the house redistricting committee which recently got in trouble for "diluting minority votes" through gerrymandering. and then of course his donors are mostly energy companies and insurance companies but that's just par for the course. The Platform i'm still in the process of writing out and properly explaining what i think would be good texan policy for my website and facebook pages. here's the short list of basic stuff though quote:]improving medicaid in texas quote:'bortion access quote:weed policy quote:immigration quote:mineral rights & local control quote:social issues and civil rights quote:labor rights quote:april 27th faqs Q: isnt it a bad idea to talk about your campaign on a dumb internet forum? isnt this bad for your electability? A: yes its probably a bad idea but i dont think it really matters anymore. decorum is over. professionalism will not hold me back from my true passion. (posting) Q:is there another democratic primary candidate? A: yeah but she seems nice and i don't know her platform very well. we both declared and registered yesterday so there's not much for me to say! i dont want to invite any potential negativity to my primary opponent Q:whats the point of this thread? A:i think it will be a fun way to keep track of my experience and workshop ideas. i can talk about my experience being a candidate, what its like to work with local party people, campaign finance poo poo. all of that stuff. plus i can toxx myself to make sure i dont become a lazy bum and give up campaigning to play video games all day currently on my agenda: 1 - 2 - create an official website, 3 - 4 - block walking with other candidates. gotta gain experience knocking on peoples doors and telling them the good news. 5 - much much more!!! feel free to ask me anytghing or call me a cuck. whatever works people asked to donate but i dont recommend it. if you dont listen to me click this image

bob dobbs is dead posted:have $200  you are insaneyeah for all the self deprecating crap in this thread i am seriously putting my own money, effort, and time into this campaign. i love to gently caress around & have fun but i also want to make my contribution to fixing my state + pushing the democratic party in a better direction. im already planning meet and greets with every democrat organization in my district. last night i did a candidates forum (all the state level candidates from denton county were doing a panel) and it felt like my message resonated with the crowd. more than i would have expected. people are tired of the same old thing and are hungry for someone who will seriously fight for that good progressive poo poo. i will work my best to make you proud Bob Dobbs is Dead.

all of yalls generosity and lack of financial senses has been super crazy and i highly appreciate it. ill be keeping the thread up to date with all spending that occurs w/ campaign funds. thanks x 100 seriouslyJose posted:If I donate will that break us campaign finance laws i'm pretty sure act blue won't let you donate if it would be illegal for you to do so. i don't know your situation so i wouldn't be able to look it up on your behalf. Cantorsdust posted:Sent $50. Best of luck and give them hell. (and by hell I mean practical progressive socialist solutions) yes it is. and thank you for the money i will treasure it Over Easy posted:Would your campaign like to comment on this local tragedy? while this tragic crime occurred outside my district, i do feel for the loss of the victim. i do not want us to miss the forest for the trees, however. the big crime here is Wizard's of the Coast artificially raising the "value" of their cards for the purpose of selling more gambling-style booster packs to children. i would gladly serve on a committee to find productive solutions to this issue that satisfy industry needs while still protecting consumers. juche avocado posted:hello if i vote fraud for you from washington state will you teach me how you do your hair so perfectly please do not commit voter fraud, seriously. if you want to know the secret to my hair styling it's actually quite simple. i use a flat iron to form loose curls for the sake of volume. then i hold my head upside down and spray it with hairspray to maintain the shape throughout the day. now that my hair is longer it's much more messy than in the one photo of me but i'm getting it cut soon.

ScrubLeague posted:Also you should make $69 a selectable option on your page. i really dont think that spending more than 5 dollars is a good idea so i dont want to promote that. thank you for the $$$ though bob dobbs is dead posted:i suspect meming has nothing to do with anything and your ability and willingness to canvass and put up super lame lawn signs has more to do with things so far this has been the case. everything i do in person is professional - i am deliberately making an effort to show that irreverence to the status quo and a serious attitude about policy are not mutually exclusive. plus old people like facebook memes too. speaking of, today i did block walking with my town's local democrat group. there really is a lot of support here. most who live in my area of north texas moved here from some other state and just aren't politically active because they feel like there is no point.

Ruzihm posted:Donated more for state weed production. Hey can you look into Corbyn's right to first refusal? Would be a killer thing to add to your platform the one that gives automatic ROFR rights to employees if the company tries to sell itself? it's definitely interesting. and could easily be spun as investing in the Texas economy and Texan employees. would be extremely risky at the state level though because of how easily a company could move it's headquarters out of state to avoid dealing with it. i'll check to see if there is some kind of federal law preempting states from doing that and get back to you on it.

just got response from the billboard people. looks like weekly rate is $525 dollars for a spot. it's one sign on the biggest highway in my district. should i do a week or two worth of time before the primary or not drop that kind of cash this early? fwiw other candidates are spending similar amounts of money on regular small lawn signs. normally i would just jump directly into it but since y'all are my biggest source of funding i figured i should greenlight it first.
