I suggest you, like me, start at the bottom and work up. You cannot derail the political train by jumping in front of it.

What you can do is vote in municipal elections, regional elections, state elections, hell any election you are qualified to vote in.

This is where it starts.

Apathy that these elections are not important lead to disaster in the big elections that are. Unqualified candidates, people with the biggest campaign contributions.

Who cares about sound policy, the guy looks good on TV.

Start at the bottom and work to the top and you will have solid leaders.

JMO, again, I am not qualified to comment on American politics, this is simply a general idea

Sorry but the glaring TRUTH has been on display for 6 years now. the result is in. GOP sweeping elections and will dominate all political entities.

Rally the troops, vote vote vote in every possible election.

The vote is the only real voice people have to make change.

If you could get, say 80pct of people to vote in every sort of election that was held, things would change.

What is the US at? a miserable 50pct turnout for a presidential election with Trump as candidate. 66pct for the Biden election.

That is the "eligible" voters. How many others didn't even bother to try to be eligible?
