I can see why you lost. I figure if your constituents had problems you’d tell them to just run against you instead of doing your job and listening to voter concerns

I also don't think people not willing to suckle the corporate teat stand a chance to get elected. She's in this position because she plays ball.

I don't think that it is. The operative word is think. Because it's my opinion. But man. I wish to be wrong because we need some incorruptible heavy hitters fighting for us.

I have 0 background in this field. But I want to see change enough that Id throw my hat in the ring. I'd like to think people would vote for someone who just wants to do the right thing. I'd get assassinated day 1 lol

You don’t Need a background in politics to run for office. Why don’t you throw your hat in the ring? Local elections are this year.

Imagine going to a restaurant, not liking the food, and some little shit tells you to cook it yourself if you don’t like it.
