You won’t get past local politics unless you’re 100% all in on supporting one of two political parties. You deviate on even one party position and they might throw you under the bus calling you a radical that supports the other side. Both of the two parties are continuing to support policies that grow the income inequality divide so it’s difficult to believe this time will be different. Telling people the other side will be worse gets less motivating every election cycle. If the “good” side was serious about doing the right thing they wouldn’t keep nominating the worst candidates possible.

I’d say this cartoon looks accurate as soon as you realize that the characters bailing out water are just there for the photo op and the boat will still sink but just a bit slower.
Local politics is this place where things can change. You’re absolutely wrong. The national party doesn’t really care too much about political positions in local politics. Hell, many times in local elections people run unopposed.

Have you ever participated in local politics?
I don’t know about local politics, but D party has well known members Mancin and AOC, who differ a lot from the platform, and in opposite directions

I used to believe that. So did my dad. Until he won a local office and learned how much our system resists actual change. At all levels.
